Miss Lucia Escalderon, assistant industrial supervisor for girls. Mr. Vicente R. Concepcion, indus trial supervisor for boys.

During the month of June, 1916, Mr. Nicanor Oca, shop teacher at the Sampaloc primary school, was trans ferred to the division of Sorsogon as acting principal of the provincial trade school of the Province of Sorsogon. Since the beginning of the present school year, orders for industrial ar ticles to the value of 1*700 have been received from the Bureau of Educa tion. These orders include 1,400 yards bobbin lace, 11 luncheon sets, 12 dozen handkerchiefs, 18 kimonos, and a number of other articles. Considerable difficulty is being experienced in securing certain in dustrial materials owing in part to their advance in cost. The following primary schools have shops and gardens as indicated below: Shops.—Ermita, Herran, Meisic, Pandacan, Sampaloc, San Nicolas, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Gaga langin, Intramuros, Paco, Quiapo, San Andres, Santa Ana, Santa Mesa. Gardens.—Herran, San Nicolas, Santa Clara, Gagalangin, San An dres, San Lazaro, Tondo, Guipit, San Sebastian. (J. F. S.) ALBAY.
