HOPE IN EDUCATION.
Taft Explains That Education Of
Younger Generation of Filipinos Will
Work Transformation of the Phil
ippines.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Governor Taft
today continued his statement before
egarding the conditions existing in
those islands. He described the condi-
ton in the island of Samar, where the
people are still in insurrection, and said
he was not prepared to state that this
island was never wholly subjected to
Spanish rule. He described the qualifi-
cations requisite for an elector in the
different towns where the commission
had established governments. Ihey
were that such person shall speak and
write English or speak and write Span
Iish. or have filled a municipal office un-
der Spanish rule, or that he shall pay
SIS gold taxes year. Taft then en-
tered lpon general narrative of the
work of the commission. When the
commission arrived at Manila they
found the people divided into three
classes, those in favor of exclusion OF
American sovereignty altogether, the
Spanish party in favor of this govern
ment and large body of ignorant peo-
ple who were entirely Indifferent. The
governor said the instructions to the
commission, which gradually placed
more power in the civil government,
had had a marvellous effect upon the
people The insurrection, he said. had
been most active in September preced-
oJa i,,f iS u
view to influencing them. and for this
reason it had been difficult to bring the
Filipinos to a discussion of legislation
which the commission were enacting.
There was doubt as to what
the policy of the United States would
be THE subordinate military officers,
he continued, were a little bit con-
temptuous of what we We're doing be-
cause it seemed to play so unimportant
a part in the situation, but when the
power over the purse strings began TO
tighten in the matter of appropriations
those gentlemen who We're spending the
islands funds began to appreciate there
was some power behind the commits
sion" Taft said it will be found. on IN
yestigation that surrenderS by inSur-
gents of arms and men We're far in eX-
cess of actual captures by the military.
The municipal code was not put into
operation, he said, until after the presi-
dental election in the United States
because of the unsettled condition of
affairs, but as soon as it became known
to the people that the commission had
thought it wise to provide for the elec-
ton of governors, which occur next
month, the Filipnos flocked to them
with expressions of qualification. He
said the theory of the commission in
their formation of civil government is
that an indispensable aid to the ulti-
mate success of popular government is
the extension of education, but that the
effect of this could not be felt for
generation. until the children had
grown to manhood. There were 10000
adults engaged in the study OF English.
IN the meantime" said he, "the reli-
ance of the commission is on the small
educated portion of the community who
form the nucleus about which, with the
aid of American control. we think a
stable government can be erected"
