EDUCATING THE FILIPINO.
THE NATIVES SHOW SUCH ANXIETY To
LEARN THAT A COMPULSORY
SCHOOL LAW MAY BE
UNNECESSARY

washington. Aug. % (SpeciaD-The progress
OF education in the American possessions beyond
the racine is set forth in the annual report OF
FREDERICK W. Atkinson. general superintendent
OF public instruction for the Philippines. co, er-
ing the period from the Taft Commissions
enactment of the school law to the close Of the
last nscal year. June 80.
Ihls school law authorized the appointment
from the United States of one thousand school
teachers, of whom Professor Atkinson says
seven hundred and eighty-one had been ap-
pointed, either absolutely or Professionally That
there was no scarcity of material from which to
make the selection of those appointed from
Manila is shown by his remark that more than
eight thousand personal written applications
with testimonials appended, had been filed. Four
hundred and eighty-seven soldier applicants for
positions teachers had taken the examina-
tions prescribed, of which number only seventy
nine passed satisfactorily and were assigned to
schools
The next step in the organization of the edu-
cational system was the districtIng of the archi-
pelago into eighteen divisions. the school work
Of each being placed in charge OF a division
superintendent.
The general superintendent personally visited
a large number of towns for the purpose of
acquainting himself as intimately as possible
with the conditions surrounding the school work
in different localities. In speaking of the general
conditions. Professor Atkinson says:
The greatest present need is that of adequate
and suitable school buildings. All school build
ings occupied by soldiers in any way used for
military purposes should be vacated and turned
over TO school authorities the earliest practi-
cable moment, and arrangement should be made
for the rent or vacation OF all converts or other
church property used for school purposes
Nearly all the buildings that have been used for
military purposes are in Door condition. 1t will
be necessary for the municipalities 70 spend
money for their alteration and repair Present
school buildings consist, generally, OF one or two
large rooms, with several teachers carrying on
work in each room. These rooms are everywhere
overCrowded. and many have no windows or
floors. Sometimes one teacher has one to two
hundred pupils.
The education of girls has not been thought
as important that of boys. Wherever school
for boys is established it will be the policy 70
establish one for girls either in a building near
the boys. or under the same roof as the boys
school, but completely separate, with its own
entrances and playground. Indian education In
the United States was not successful until just
as good arrangements were made for the girls,
the mothers of the coming generation.
Professor Atkinson makes quotations from
some Of the reports submitted. of which the fol-
