The Educational Exhibit.
Aug. %, 1901, three years after
the first landing of the American
troops, the transport Thomas" drop
ped anchor in Manila bay, with a
shipload of American teachers on
board. With the arrival of this large
working corps of trained teachers the
real work of the Philippine Bureau of
Education began.
Only one who knows what the con-
dition of the schools was at that time
can appreciate what has been accom-
plshed during the past three years.
A conservative summing up of the
work done is given in the statement
that the English learned by the Fill
pino people in the past three years is
greater in amount than the Spanish
they acquired in the four hundred
years of Spanish rule.
The Philippine SCHOOL.
Philippine school is in active oper-
alton on the Exposition Grounds and
is probably the most interesting single
feature OF the exhibit. This is held
in a school house of bamboo and nipa
palm, an exact duplicate of a country
school building in the islands. Fill

teacher exactly as at home. and the

At one end of the porch was the
tea table, its polished surface show

Is the largest single exhibit on the
Worlds Fair grounds. 1t covers forty
seven acres of rolling country and in
cludes a hundred buildings of all sizes

shack of Negrito to a reproduction
of the Cathedral at Manila. There
are nearly 1900 natives of the reser-

different tribes, and showing all the
stages of economic development from
the aboriginal, who is only a step from
the lowest type of humanity, to the
scout, who is a regular in the United

weaves fabrics of great beauty.
