pared with the growth of the United
States, which was fifteen times as
great during the same period. Re-
1ieved of the devastating effects of war
and the rayages of disease, it is be-
lieved the population of the islands will
increase during the next few years at
rate never before equaled in their
history.
The establishment of accurate tables
of mortality has disclosed a number of
unexpected results. 1t is surprising to
find that the death rate among the ma
tives is very high, and correspondingly
low among the foreigners. The NOR
tality among the Filipinos is greater
than of any European race whose
records are known, and is doubtless
not exceeded anywhere unless it be in
some of the more unhea1thful provinces
of British India. The greatest loss is
shown among children less than one
year old. the rate among these having
gone as high as 322 per thousand. This
is said to be a forfeiture of infant life,
due to ignorance rather than to the
Mothers allow children to be-
gin eating solid food when they are not
strong enough to digest it, which is al
most certain to cause cholera infantum
and commissions. Every effort is being
made to make the natives understand
that babies three or four months Of
age must not be fed on such things as
rice mangOes and bananas.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-08-27

Time has shown that the foreigner
scribed for a hot climate can live in
the Philippines with almost as much
immunity from disease as if he were
residing in the United States. This is
proved by the record kept by the army
and navy officials both in times of
peace and war. Of course a person
may quickly become diseased from dis
sipation or disobedience to the rules
governing tropical diet. The use of
liquor in a hot country is almost GER
tain to be disastrous. Although long
exposure to the climate is enervating,
this can easily be overcome by frequent
sojourns in a higher or cooler region.
GREAT NEED OF EDUCATION.
The great necessity for education in
the Philippines is shown by the discov-
cry of the fact that less than ten per
cent. of the entire population could
speak a common language. 1t was
supposed that the majority of the peo-
pie understood Spanish. but this has
been proved incorrect. 1t was the poll
icy of the friars to learn the language
of the people, rather than to teach their
own. so t-e.- could interpret the law
arbitrarily. There were many people
counted as literate who could speak
some Spanish but were unable to read
or write it. AS result of the educa-
tional system now in vogue throughout
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-08-27

the islands the bulk of the population
will soon be able to affiliate by means
of the English language.
There are now 357, 600 children attend
ing school in the Philippines. A few
less than a Thousand American school
teachers are engaged here at the pres
ent time, and they have about five
thousand native teachers assisting
them. The number of American teach
ers will gradually diminish as the sup
ply of natives eligible to engage in the
work increases. The difficulties en-
countered by the first Americans who
came here to teach can hardly be de-
seribed. They succeeded Spanish in
structors who taught the pupils to
write upon banana leaves with a
pointed stick. The process of counting
was to cut notches in a piece of wood.
Some of our teachers had to build their
own school houses, manufacture their
own benches, and then work for
months without states, books, or other
material. Those who could not procure
building material conducted their
classes under shade trees.
TEACHER IS A LEADER.
Some critics have insisted that too
much money has been spent upon edu-
catiOnal work, but that contention can
hardly be justified. On account of the
natives having so long been amenable

DEADLY PNEUMONIA.
These Doctors Do Not Believe That It's Incurabie.

These Doctors Do Not Believe That
 It's Incurable.
 Pneumonia is a self-Iinited disease, which can neither be aborted nor cut short by any known means at our com- n1and," is the sentence which opens the section on the treatment of Iobar pneu-
 norlia in one of the most popular Of American textbooks of medicine. Read ing this. one need not be surprised to learn from an article in the American Journal of the Medical Sciences for June of the present year that 53S cases of pneumonia out of a total of 991 treat ed in the hospitals of Philadelphia, ter, minated fatally. Whether this moral ity of over 50 per cent is regarded as Justification for the pessimistic belief of the medical authority quoted, or as the result of a do-nothing policy born of the acceptance of his despairing ut terance will depend upon the therapeu- tic faith or lack of it of the reader. Of course, these figures do not fairly ex- press the real mortality of pneumonia, for the hospitals receive the most des- perate cases-the old, the social wrecks
 those broken down by exoesses of all kinds, by exhausting labor, and by pri- vations, and the actually moribund-but even the commonly accepted mortality of 15 per cent is one that brings re- proach to the therapeutic art. .Consump-

haps the pneumonia commission of the health department of New York, will take up and elacidate. However tena- cious of life this microba may be under favorable conditions, we know that it is exceedingly vulnerable. In sputunl, moist or dry, it preserves it's vitality for a long time, nineteen to fifty-flve days in different experiments, but in cultures it soon dies. Its long life in sputur1l may be attributed to the protection af- forded by the albilminous envelope, for F. c. Wood has shown that when the dried sputum is pulverized the contaiIl- ed pneumococei perish in from one to four hours, even when kept in the dark, and in about one hour, when exposed to the sunlight. Given a nicrobe, which parishes so quickly under adverse con ditions, growing in culture in the access sfble alveoli of the lungs, it ought to be a comparatively easy matter to arrest it's growth. And so it would appear to be,if we were willing to accept the testi- mony of those who have to deal with the disease in actual practice. It is commonly said the mere fact that many remedies are vaunted as being of ser~ vice in the treatment of any disease af- lords sufficient evidence that read remedy does not exist. This is doubt ! less true in some cases, but it may also indicate that the disease is so easily cura!ble that 1t yields to various meth- ods of treatment. Pneumonia is one of these diseases, and into which cate- gory one would place it-whether of
 the incurable or the easily curable--
 must depend upon the character of the
 evidence presented.
 Tn the olden days--in the first half of
 the last century-bleeding was the ac- cepted treatment for pneumonia. This
 has gone out of fashion, in the treat
 ment not only of pneumonia but of all
 other diseases, and it is unlikely that 1t
 will be adopted again, although not a

PICTURE OF THE PRESIDENT

How He Appeared to a German as an
 ,..s .Elemental Force.p
 The White House in Washington will always remain some thing never to be forgotten, not only on account of the honor paid us by the president at our reception. but also on account of it's noble simplicity and the grand style in which it Is furnished. It is the true pattern of an American house, in which everything necessary is close at hand, but in which there is nothing super tiuous And with what simple formali- ties was our reception by the president carried out! A somewhat numerous but noiseless company of attendants in the anteroom, and no police, no mili- tary. In the reception room itself there was no one present but we ourselves, the visitors, introduced by the president and viee-president. Soon the doors open and Roosevelt appears between two civilians, evidently secretaries; adju- tants, perhaps, I should say

ton is called ''the great white plague" |" but pneumonia in its season is the champion killer. From October 1, 1904, to March 4, 1905, the mortality from consumption in Chicago was 11.4 per cent of the total mortality, while that from pneumonia was IS per cent-aIl excess of 49 per cent of pneumonia over consumption. Is this dreadful waste of human life inevitable? or is it a direct result of the nihilistic teaching of au- thorities who are grounded in the doc Urine of 'self-limited'' diseases, and doggedly refuse to listen to the asser- tions of others, as acute in observation and as honest in purpose as themselves, who claim that medicine is not power- less in the face of this devastating dis ease, and that pneumonia has been and often can be cured without waiting for the crisis on the seventh or ninth day? Let us hear the testimony of some of these competent observers that Osler and others so incontinently throw out of court.
 The pathugenic organism of Iobar pneumonia is admitted to be, the pneu- mococcus or micrococeus lanacolatus. It is possible, and probable, that other microoganisms, such as the influenza bacillus and various streptococci, may cause a disease indistinguishable from that excited by the pneumococcus, but such cases are exceptional and may be ignored in the present review.
 The pneumococcus is omni-present and is found, we might say, almost con stantly, in the secretions of the mouth and throat of seemingly healthy per sons. What endows it with special vi- ru1ence in certain cases-whether a temporary depression of the resisting power of the individual or the stimulus supplied by the synergetic action of some other microbe-we do not know This is a matter which it is to be loped competent Investigators, per-

A very animated conyer- sation Is often developed. into which the president draws those who stand around him or the adjutants by his side. Very soon he is heard laughing bit too loudly; now he gives a man a hearty clap on the shoulder that Is al most audible; then again he brings his hands together with a smack There is nothing in the way of majesty about him; one feels that he lets himself go completely, and then again remarks that behind this almost savage nature force is concealed 8 consunmate diplo- matist.
