'I am not uecrying the educating
of the Filipinos nor objecting to the
money it is costing because they will
never be able to govern themselves
according to our standards until the
masses know more than they do now.
There are some educated and able
men in the Philippines but where
few have monopoly on the knowl-
edge of the governing business the
fellow who "don't know" will get the
worst of it. This will not only apply
to this bunch of islands but to any
place where few men have the
cinch, and they would not be human
if they did not play it to some degree.
There is no doubt but that every
American teacher here has taught the
pupils that any kind of honest toll
was honorable but very few have had
any occasion to demonstrate it prac-
tically This will be the greatest
stumbling block in the way of our
educators in bringing these people to
realize the right conception of educa-
ton. 1t is not like going into an
illiterate American community. There
the educator will find a foundation
upon which to build, while here an
excavation has to be made, that is,
so much has to be unlearned which
is harder than the learning. The
customs and superstitions, many of
which are not compatible with our
ideas. have been inground into these
people for centuries, and many of
these things must be eradicated from
their minds before our notions will
take root and thrive.

they could make good. Tact and
faculty to adapt onself to circum-
stances are far better assets than
80 u per cent average in a teachers
certificate. / knew a man and his
wife who were endowed with a good
stock of common sense and energy,
coupled with a knowledge of how to
do things, who were put down in a
poverty stricken town in Cebu to
teach. The principal food of that
vicinity was corn and fish. When
the corn crop failed they wore fewer
clothes and harrassed the sea for
more fish. The rinderpest had killed
most of the carabaos, which were
used as farm animals, and most of
the farming was done with bolos as
not many could afford hoe. The
school teacher induced some of the
farmers to plant magney or s.sal. The
first crop was sold at about half the
market price but even at that the
few who had planted became COM
paratively prosperous so that others
planted. Now there are thousands
of acres planted. the people get full
market value for this sisal and the
town is one of the most prosperous
on that populous island. The wife
taught domestic science and now that
town is one of the very few in that
province where a person can get a
decent bite of bread. Planting
magney and baking bread were prob
ably not in the course of study but
these teachers did more for the peo-
pie than if they had stuffed them full
of verbs and pronouns.
What these people need to know
most is how to help themselves by
work Many of them are industrious
enough if they only knew how to di-
rect their energies. Nearly all are
economical and frugal from necessity.
Thrift will be the hardest for them
to learn and the only way to teach it
is by creating an incentive.

for the Educational Bureau to make
