MORE PEDAGOGUES NEEDED.
philippine Commission Finds Femi-
nine Teachers Undesirable.

nine Teachers Undesirable.
There is a demand for American teach
ers in the PHILIPPINES from the natives. and
/ schoolmarms from this country are as
anxious to locate in the East as the island
ers are % have them. judging from a re-
/ cent report OF the Taft Commission.
The report says that there are still 200
teachers to be appointed 10 fill the quota
| Of .OOp and for these positions there are
| 5000 applications on file.
In view of the unsettled condition in
some parts of the islands and the destruc-
tion OF buildings during the war in other
parts, and the difficulty Of finding condi-
tions OF living suitable for women, it is
deemed expedient in the immediate future
to confine appointments to young men, OF
whom 2cO or 800 more, well trained and OF
good character and willing to endure some
discomfort and hardship. can be employed
to advantage" states the report
Undoubtedly in the course OF time. after
the people have come to understand thor
oushly that the occupations of peace are
more profitable than those of war. the de-
mand for the education of girls will be
strengthened. and it will be necessary then
20 cmrloy more women for their instruc-
ton"
1T is impossible" remarks the COM
mission. on account Of the short time
that has elapsed since the majority Of the
American teachers we're sent to their
stations. to make definite and correct
statement of the number of pupils en-
rolled in all the public schools Of the
archipelago or to determine the ratio OF
those in regular attendance to the whole
number enrolled. An estimate. based on
reports already received and on the
number of teachers employed, indicates
that there are over 15O,OOO Filipino pupils
enrolled in the free primary schools es-
tablshed by the Government. and that
there are over 1900 pupils in actual
daily attendance
The discrepancy between the number
Of primary pupils enrolled and the num-
Der in actual attendance is in part due
to the fact that in many towns school
houses are still used or occupied by the
military authorities. and it is impossible
to assemble all the pupils who wish to
attend school. This estimate indicates,
moreover, that there are between 5000 |
and 900 elementary Filipino teachers en-
gagged in the schools. about 1000 of whom
are daily receiving at least one hour Of |
English instruction.
There are at least 1000 adults receiv- |
ing English instruction in the evening |
schools conducted by American teachers |
Demands for the establishment of schools /
for the instruction OF adults in English |
are coming from all parts Of the archi-
pelago. and the American teachers have |
been given authority to establish evening |
schools for giving instruction in English |
wherever they are needed. Judging from
pbe applications and the numbers alrealy |
under instruction. and considering the
eagcrness of the Filipinos to learn Eng
Iish. il is safe to say that within a few
weeks between 2O.OoOand 10000 adults will
be attending these evening schools"

TAFT Commission Reports
Progress in Education.
CHURCH INFLUENCE ERADICAFBD.
The Sending of Young Men to the
United States Advised for the
requirement of Knowledge of
Education and Western Civiliza-
tion-Training of Teachers.

The best way in which to accustom tbs
Filipino youth to his new environments is
to send him to the country responsible
Tor them. there to instruct him in the
language OF the race governing him. per
mitting him to gain by residence in the
United States-what would be more con-
vlncing than all the theoretical study and
tuition in the world-a practical insight
into Western methods, which at present
he aeoustoms himself to with much re-
luctance and suspicion.
This is the theory now being strongly
advanced by men who have thoroughly
studied the question. and it is a plan
heartily recommended by the Taft Com
mission in report Issued yesterday.
II says in this direction:
American Education Advised.
ut is recognized by the more intelIi-
gent persons in the different parts Of the
archipelago that the quickest and surest
way for Filipino youth to acquire the
English language and to arrive at an I'M
derstanding of Western civilization as it
exists in America is to live among Amer
leans in the United States and be taught
in American schools. Acting on this
knowledge, many parents have already
enrolled their Sons in American schools,
and in certain provinces the several towns
are making provision each to send and
maintain a boy in some school in the
United States.
Many propositions have already been
made. both by persons in America and by
persons in the Philippines. looking to the
use Of the funds Of the insular govern
ment for this purpose. Hitherto. how
ever, it has been considered expedient to
allow individual and local zeal to carry
on the work; yet the commission is aware
Of the immense advantage which will ac-
crue to these Islands by the extension Of
this practice
