Language in the Philippines.

1t was first reported that Spanish
was to be the language of the Fill
pino courts for five years. but Judge
Tafts code has been amended on mo.
tion of Mr.. Ide so that both Spanish
and English may be used in court
proceedings. and the records must be
kept in both. This modification was
desirable because the language of the
government which controls the coun.
try should appear in all the official
records, but any forcible attempt to
make English the language of the peg.

a modification under gentler influences

Though the Spaniards were in pos

turtles and more, Spanish had not be
come the universal language of the ma
tives when Spanish rule was termin-
ated. There is somewhere near
forty different dialects. and many of
the people knew no Sanish at all
Time had simply sufficed to make it
common near the seats of government.
In such neighborhoods it is now the
language of the people. and it has far
greater claims than any other to be
adopted as the language of communi-
cation between the new government
and the native population.
The two great and probably insup-
cradle difficlties in the way of gem
eral change to English are the charac-
ter OF the t1lipinos and the fact that
they are always likely to comprise
very large percentage of the inhabit-
ants. They are so indolent and so
unambitious that they will not learn
what comes easiest. that is, the speech
OF their environment. The few Amer
