seventies it averaged twice that
amount. while in the late eighties and

Nearly 400 years ago some Moham-

From to 10 per cent of the Moros

task of teaching their own people.
This policy Is meeting with surprising
success
The great aim, however. has been to
induce the Moro to lead an industrious

work and become peaceful citizen
