ippine Normal School since 1910, and
also in the various vacation assem-
blies of teachers.
The first thing a Filipino girl does in
the sewing class in school is to make
for herself complete outfit of cloth
ing. This work she usually begins in
the second grade. but sometimes in
the first or third Armed with an en-
broidery frame and other apparatus
Gin most cases made by the boys in
the same SCHOOL,, she advances in pro-
ficiency through the various grades
hemming and embroidering cotton
squares, fine linen, handkerchiefs,
waists, and so on. The more expert
girls turn out masterpieces in French
net and embroidery. In lace they
make all varieties of pillow lace"
including "torchion" Spanish lace),
Maltese, Ceylon or Indian, Irish GRO
chet etc Battenburg is also made
for local use. but it is not encourag-
ed for export, because the Japanese
can make ii more eheaply.
An idea of the extent of industrial
education in the Philippines may be
gained from the fact that nearly AGO.
600 school pupils are engaged in some
kind of industrial work. For the past
four years industrial instruction has
been prescribed in the primary course
for both boys and girls, and the work
is Systematically called on in an adj
vanced stage in the intermediate
schools. Twenty six well-equipped
trade schools have been established in
Manila and the various provinces;
there is college of agriculture at Los
Banos, and a college of engineering
has been added to the University of
the Philippines. The Filipinos take ID
the educational program, Industrial
and otherwise, quickly and profitably:
and the civil government finds its du-
ties much less onerous now that the
military invasion of the Islands has
been superseded by the educational.

boys receive manual training from the
very beginning. In the lowest grades
they make articles that they can use
and sell, both in their own localities
and elsewhere. The most important in
dustry taught the boys is hat-weaving.
1t is a prescribed exercise in the pri-
mary schools. THE Bureau of Educa-
ton at Manila considers it one of its
legitimate functions to give such
training in the making of good hats as

Director of Philippine education, in
1910, after the courses had been in
troduced, and the development of the
work has more than justified his
claim Chief among the products are
the famous "buntal" hats, made from
the leaf stem of the opened buri leaf.
The schools do not attempt to replace
hand machinery with modern apparat-
u.s. for it is recognized that there is
real demand for the products of care

Braced out by hoops of steel;
They're wearing now close-clinging

In which they connet kneel
