Lcxmston, ' Ky., Oct. 4. In the
mountains of Kentucky! is a school

sky is its ceiline. the mountains its
walls. And the students are young
mountaineers. Their problems haye
just been submitted to the Episcopal
churehe's nation-wide campaign for
expansion at home and a broad.
kT'That 300-acre "classroom" is Dart

and better farmers and .more efficient
farmers' wives out of the sturdy
youth of the hills... : -. ' '
TJie young Kentucky mountain-
cert ao not leave their love of the
ut-daprs behind them when they go
to achqol. It wii th ntaliiation of
wis bj wio episcopal, cnurcniacn
who buQt St. John's Cotietiate insti
tute and Industrial school at Corbin
that .ultimately created' the outdoor
classroom.
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. '
The 300-acre "classroom" twas the
result.
It was a farm that lay adjakent to
the school. Sufficient casjh was
raised by a supreme effort of the
clergymen in charge to obtajn pos
session. 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.
The young mountaineers earn their
'education by the r sweat of their
Srows in the fields," and at the same

farming.

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

American or white flags, presented
themselves and expressed their
friendliness. From Bansayan the

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

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.

, '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
