One of the most striking peculiarities
of the attendance in the public schools
of Manila is the great excess of boys
over girls, this being true of the high
schools as we'll as of those of lower
grade. It is manifestation of the
local belief that, while education may
be desirable for boys, it is of little use
for the girls. All they need to know
is their catechism. This disparity in
the school attendance of the sexes
may be lessened, however, before the
next school term, as the authorities
are planning for a, system of compul-
sorry attendance. -
