Eighteen years ago thej school was a tittle room in a framle . dwelling house at Corbin. Rates, were low but the young, people otf the hills were poor, and the school had little financial backing. When the Rev. E. B. ftVentworth took charge, two years agb, he faced a complex problem, how: to obtain an endowment for the school, to pro vide work for the studereis which would be sufficiently remunfcrativet o enable thern to cam all oh part of heir education, and to, givj special draining which would malae them economically inqepenuenr r ujcir own communities when their school was done.

Once secured the fafrm was improved, organized amd st&ckjsd. The farm had becomeithe school's endowment, increasing i value and paying a annual interest of several thousand dollars from its crops.

Captain Pershing, on April 28, 1903, just; after his return from his third expedition, was ordered by Brig. Gen. Samuel S.; Sumner, com-i manding the Department of Mir- danao, to go around "Lake Lanao. How well r Pershing, executed the order may . be learned rom his own report to the War department a report which tells of an accom plishment that will livel always as a heroic and ' unusual chapter of American history. His report follows: "As soon as it became known that this , expedition was to be made, notice was sent, either by letter or courier, to all theleading Moros on the east shfcre of the lake, and their friendship and assistance solicited. They were assured that we would friends, and would pay for all sup- plies furnishied us, but that we would bropjc no interference or opposi tion, 'The expedition, started at 7 o'clock a. rn. May 2, and, march ing by the way of Pantauan, ar rived at Sauir at about 12:30vp. m., where camp was established. Dattos Offer Help. "On the morning of the third Dat to Pedro, who was in charge of the vintas, arrived in camp. The Caba gatan of Ragayan and other dattos of that rancheria and of Tupurug visited camp and offered their serv ices as guide's. Two companies of infantry were sent out at an early hour to finsh work on the trail, and the command started at 7:30 a. m., marching through Macui and across the-Malaig river, keeping well to the east toward the foot hills to avoid swampy rice lands. "Reaching the vicinity of Gata, Datto Punilumabao and party met us and turned over one of the re maining government horses lost by Lieutenant Forsyth in March, 1902. Moros from Gata and Minhailey re ported that we would meet opposi tion at the fbrt of Amai-Benanning of Gata, and endeavored to dissuade us from passing through that rancheria. "In order, to give, those Moros time try fully consider the matter, I went into camp at Bansayan on the We Have Added An Automobile Tire and M . v Tube Department ' We fcave selected a tire of the highest quality, for we sell goods of good quality only. s "We have selected a tire manufactured by a com pany who have m,ade rubber goods for 21 years and therefore know how to cure rubber. , We solicit your patronage on the merits of m and the sale of these goods are backed up by VICTOR H.

From Bansayan the vintas were sent to Camp Vicars for rations and forage. Snipers Wound Soldier." "On the morning of the fourth the march was resumed directly toward Gata, but as we approached the fort a delegation came out to meet us and stated that they all desired to be friends. As the rear guard was crossing a stream, just after leaving camp two shots were fired by Moros concealed in the grass and 0e man of Troop E was slightly wounded. The two Moros who did the firing were killed. "To reach the hostile fort the trail led us near and between two other strong forts that had been reported hostile, but, " contrary to reports, several dattos came out with white flags and said they wished to be considered friends, and that none of their people would oppose us or in terfere with us. After passing these forts Moros were seen running from a strip of timber to our right toward Fort Tarace, and in a few minutes we were fired upon from the fort at about 600 yards. Company C, Twenty-seventh infantry, was di rected to form a skirmish line to the right and move to within 300- yards of the fort and Company-G to take a similar position on the left. The right and left flanks, respectively, of these two companies were ordered advanced so as to partially envelop the fort. The two Maxim gun and the field mortars were, placed at a distance of 500 yards and opposite the interval left between these com panies lor that purpose. ri "The firing became vjgoroua on both sides, the Moros using both lantacas and small arms. One pla toon of Company D was sent for ward to the timber to the right as a protection to the troops not yet engaged and the animals. As Com pany G went into position they re ceived a fire of a small cotta on the left, which was at once captured ana destroyed. Troops Face Heavy Fire. "Almost aa aoon as it arrivedJn position the right flank of the line held by C company received a heavy fire from the woods along the Tar aca river. Lieutenant Shaw, with that company, was ordered to enter the timber, cross the Taraca river if necessary and drive out or destroy any opposing Moros and destroy any cottas from which he might be fired on. G troop dismounted, took the place of C company on the skir mish line and the attack oa the main fort continued, the artillery, which had been sent to a new and better ?a! II ! . .f ..1 position, nring wtjn sucn eneci ma; the defenders could do us little harm. Lieutenant Shaw, who was on the north bank of the river, first examined the fort and vicinity care fully and then ordered his men to scale the eastern wall, "A large body of well-armed Mo-' ros was found inside, who delivered a heavy fire on the attacking party, but the latter held their ground. Lieutenant Gracie immediately crossed from the south bank and, scaling the south wall with hit com pany, obtained a crossfire upon the Moros that soon demoralized them. Several hand-to-hand encounters oc curred on the walls and after a fight which lasted but a few minutes the Moros displayed, a white flag and surrendered. . V , Ninety Moros Dead. " "Ninety Moros were found dead within the fort, 13 wounded and 23 were taken prisoner. Among the dead were the Sultan-Cabugatan PitaeuSj, the angupan of Lumesa, the Datto-Cabugatan, the Cabugatan of Macui and the Mama of Macui, the two former of whom were known on the eastside of the lake as be ing very bitter in their opposition to Americans. Fifty-one rifles at.d 16 i lantacas and cannon and several krisea and corapitans were captured. "In the assault Yne enlisted man was killed and six wounded, one of whomdied the next day, Shortly after reaching Camp Vicars. Hones Sunk in Bog. , 'The march was resumed, the trait Seeding across the Tarace river near Fort Citacus, whence we aoon de bouched upon an extended alluvial flat, reaching some eight miles from the shore toward the hills and about three miles wide.! "Thtre were a few long-range shots fired at the rear of the column from Taraca, but thereafter white flags and American flags were lib erally displayed at various rancher ias along the line of march during the day. "Passing Mjlundu, a report came in that the Moros of Muut had con gregated at a certain cotta to oppose lis, but upon our arrival Jhere was no sign of hostility, although a shot or two were fired at the rear guard from long range from a small cotta in the vicinity, which was immedi ately taken and destroyed by the rear guard. "At Ragaan Capt. James A. Ryan, 15th cavalry, with troop C, that regiment, met and reported that all arrangements had been made for our rations and forage for the return trip. I had concluded to crosa the Agus river' at Madaya and to return to Camp Vicars by the more favorabje west shore trail. A good ford, though rocky, about four feet deep at the deepest place, just below the origin of the river, which was about 200 yards wide at this point, was used for the cavalry, artillery and pack animals, while our Moro vintas were used on the lake for the infantry, the field guns and the baggage, and by noon on the eighth the command was in camp again at Marahul. f Meet General Summer. "General Summer met us at Mara hui, and after seeing the command safely over the Agus, left in a short time for Pautar. The Sultan) of Remayh, who had not previously visited any American camp or post. came in with Amai-Mtnbilang of Riaday, accompanied by many dat tos, including Nuzca, the pandita or iman, who is at the head of the Mohammedan church in Lake Lanao. The Sultan of Demayn ex pressed friendship for the Americans , and reassured nie as to the friend ship of all the Moros of Bavabaol, over whom he is chief sultan. "On the tenth the return to Camp Vicars was begun, and nothing of consequence occurred during the, day's march. Friendly Moros came out to meet us along the route, and upon arrival at Calahui, where we encamped, Datto Aliddan, with sev eal of his people, visited me to pay their respects. The followinsr dav we marched through Calahui, Bac olod, ' Pindalunan, Corurriatan and Madullum alone the shore.
