The popular idea in this country
that there were no schools In the
Philippines until a shipload Of
teachers was sent from the United
States, is not we'll founded. The
report Of the United States bureau
of education for 1901, now in press,
contains the following information
on the subject: ttThe Fiiipinos
proper-that is to say, the settled,
civilized people whose representa-
tive men are educated professional
and business men, the best of whom
are, as will appear, on par with
the corresponding classes elsewhere
in the world-are descendants Of
those dwellers on the coasts of
Luzon and the Visayas who were
already advanced in civilization
when discovered by the Span
iards. Probably a large ma
jority of the Filipinos can read and
write their own languages. :.
Fil1pinos have filled chairs of chem
islry, botany, medicine and phar-
