education of the Filipinos, and the de-
velopment of the resources of the
islands of the Philippine archipelago.
officials Of the government were
shocked and appalled, not only by the
numerous cases of leprosy, but by tSe
careless indifference with which the
disease was considered and the small
effort which was made to prevent the
spread Of the dread scourge and to
isolate those afflicted. But immedi-
ately upon taking command in the
islands the United States began to
consider the matter. and has devel-

comfort Of the 5000 known lepers in

the gratifying promise that leprosy
may be finally eradicated from the
Philippine islands.

people who could not take care OF
themselves or who had no friends to
