Manila, August 5. 1909
NE OF the most important
M(oA things our government has
I~ 10 do In the Philippine Is
w lands Is the that, sstas sNsao1 sx o.
tenn. At present not more than 20 per
cent. OF the people can read and write.
There are districts In which very few
Of them can speak Spanish, and there
are hundreds Of thousands Of school chill
dren who have had no school advantages.
For the past two years. owing 20 the
trouble with the Spaniards and the Amer
leans, many Of the schools have been
discontinued. In every island have Wis
tied i have found the school houses va
cant, and nearly everywhere they are
going 10 ruin In some parts Of Luzon
they have been burned by the insurgents
and in others the teachers have had 20
leave because they were connected with
the friars.
With the advance Of our army, every
town which has been garrisoned has been
given n school The officers urge the peo-
pie 70 open the school houses and toll
them tina. they must support their own
schools. and that English must be one
OF the studies In some places the sol
diera are teaching. and everywhere at
tenpfs are made 10 organize a new sys-
tenn OF education. Heretofore the Phil
ippines have had nothing like a public
school system. They have had schools
IN most OF the villages. but the teachers
have been appointed by the priests, and
the studies have been controlled by them.
The chief teaching has been In the cate
chism ana along lines OF religious inctruc-
tion. and today the priests object decid-
eddy to having the catechism taken out
of tho schools The schools were opened
with tho reading Of Catholic prayers
and until now every school had a crucihx
hung up over the teachers desk The
same prayers are used now by many OF
the American teachers. one OF them tell
ing me that she thought II better 20
keep up the prayers notwithstanding she
was n Protestant herself.
Al present there II no systematic school
organisation Of the islands. Each mill

Supper, St. Aloysius' Church.

The supper, which was given by the
members of st. Aloysius' parish at the
Sisters Academy for the benefit OF the
church, brought goodly sum into the
treasury. Beyond being financial sue
cess, it was an exceedingly pleasant af
fair. All present, If one could Judge by
word and look, seemed to enjoy them
selves very much. The moments spent
in social chat, kindly greeting and light
hearted amusement were as enjoyable as
the supper itself. The banquet reached
the high standard that was expected, for
which great credit is due to the ladies
who had it in charge. The crowd was
so large that the spacious rooms at the
Academy were taxed to their utmost to
supply space for the large number Of
guests of the evening. Father Jenkins
was extremely pleased with the cordi-
alitY that prevailed in the efforts of all
to bring the event to happy and sue
cessful issue. The following itemized

Messfs. Editors Although no notice
has appeared in our county papers that
am awafe Of, ] haye been reliably in
formed that a bill has been offered in
the Legislature to divide the Third cleo
ton district OF this county. AS this is a
matter Of much Interest to the tax.pay-
crs, our Representatives should reflect
well before taking further action. II is
true, perhaps, that many persons dill not
rote at the last election, but in our know
ing the circumstances will question for
a moment, that they should not hare c0ted
before tReAB6lls closed, had they SO de-
sired. Assa proof Of this, we have cast
a much larger vote in preceding years
10 Leonardtown. and there are many
districts inspthcr counties with more
registered voters, ID some instances over
eight hundred, yet We have heard no
complaint from those districts, although
the same election law prevails through
out the STATE. II our Representatives
would endeavor 10 amend the registra-
tion law, by inserting q clause repairing
every man TO make OATH that he will
neither bHg nor seH vote, Il would do
more to purify The ballot than anything
else particularly II disfranohlsement Il
made the penalty for the violation Of
said law hope our Legislators will
accept this in the spirit ia which Il Is
