DEVELOPING A
 NEW COUNTRY

Material prosperity in the Philippines has kept pace with the progress along other lines" says Eleanor Franklin Egan, in the November Everybody's. "The most important problem which confronted the pioneers of development. as it did the teachers in the agricultural and trade schools, was the difficulty of impressing upon the heart and mind of the Filipino sense of the dignity of labor; for the better class Filipino has always consid- cred any kind of physical effort degrad- ing. But, in spite of this, there is to the credit of American capital and enterprise the making of deep-water harbors where no harbors were before; the perfecting of the coast survey and the lighthouse ser vice, which renders navigation compara- lively safe in all parts of the archipelago; the development of inter-island trans portation which gives the producer in all the islands regular opportunity to market his produce; the building and maintenance of roads and bridges; the beginnings of the development of the country's splendid mineral resources; the construction and extension of railways, and the survey of new lines in various parts of the Islands; and, finally, the furthering of agriculture.
 Successful agriculture is, of course, the foundation upon which the Philippine nation must build itself And since the productiveness of the soil is almost un- limited since almost anything will thrive luxuriantly that is given ground in which to root itself, there is no reason why the nation should not build itself strong 1y and arrive at a time in it's history when it's own resources will be such that 1t will no longer need the protection or guidance of any other people. This IS the end we are striving for.'
