The Filipinos are evidently much
better pleased with American admin
istratiOn in their island than are the
anti-imperialists and some others in
this country. Mr.. J. c. Knudson,
one of the American school teachers
in the Philippines writes papers here
that the natives are eager that Amer
lean occupation should becontinued,
in order that the installation of a
public school system may be carried
on. 1.-THE people are so much inter
ested in the cause of education that
they voluntarily supplement thegov-
ernmental system by establishing
advanced schools built with their
own money"
American occupation has also been
highly beneficial in the Improvement
of sanitation. The ravages of chol-
era, once terribly prevalent in the is
lands, have been diminished in con-
sequence of the measures taken by
the American authorities to purify
the cities. Theresults of this scientific
work are comparable to those OBJ
served in Cuba, where sanitary re-
forms introduced during American
occupation have been of vast benefit
to the people.
