SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-A letter from
Prof Bernard Moses TO President Wheeler
Of the State University conveys the infor-
nation that the United States Philippine
Commission thinks it advisable to send
over to this country a large number of
bright young natives and give them an
education. so that they may go back and
become instructors of their people. Prof.
Moses says in part:
From observations already made I am
inclined to think that we shall find among
the young people OF the islands a large
number OF eager and competent students,
and hope that some arrangement may be
made by which from time to time gOodly
number may be sent to the schools of
America 1t may perhaps be found ad-
yiSable to render some OF them assistance
from the public funds. 1t is quite likely
that in this way We can help to bring peo-
pie Of these islands to appreciate somewhat
the civilization of the United States and
to mark the difference between America
and Spain"
The plan as outlined by Prof. Moses viii.
il put into effect, involve the creation of
