In the standard schoolhouse plans
each unit is a class room OF standard
size, seven by nine meters. Plans
have been adopted for buildings Of
from one to twenty class rooms with
assembly ROOM offices and storeroom.
Concrete reinforced with steel is the
construction material which meets
conditions best. 1t is specified for the
standard schoolhouse
Already 1876 school buildings of this
type have been completed and 17a
others are in process of construction.
of which 81 lacked very little of COM
pletion and were already occupied at
the time the director made his report.
Methods Correct.
The industrial program is being
promoted constantly through the me-
dunn of provincial industrial super
visors inspectors and instructors form
the travelling corps of the general Of
fee; various publications. bulletins,
and correspondence: through indus
trial exhibits: through the appoint
ment of pensionados to receive train
ing along such lines, and by means
of the special courses offered in the
Philippine Normal school and the
Philippine School of Arts and Trades.
Such satisfactory progress is to be
reported as to convince the director
that the methods employed are sub
stantially correct On entering the
school, the pupil must Immediately
take as part OF each days work GER
tain manual exercises In the nature
of play work at first, but which gradu-
ally lead up to the regular industrial
courses provided In the advanced
primary and in the intermediate
grades. Special courses in farming,
housekeeping and household arts,
trade work, and business are offered
for those pupils who desire to do more
industrial work than that prescribed
y ,he genera! intermediate course.
These special industrial courses are
replacing the general course in many
intermediate schools. Already Al
schools are giving the farming course.
T. are giving the housekeeping course,
35 are giving the trade course. AZ the
teaching course. and one the business
course, as compared with a total OF
1919 conducting the general course.
1t is at once evident, with require
ments so definitely fixed for industrial
work in the schools, the great major
ity o. the pupils who are enrolled must
be engaged in some branch of this
work. An examination of the figures
included among the statistical tables
of this report will show that of the
total enrolment of 233,740 boys and
l3S,S42 girls during the month of
February. 1912 ian average month";
216.290 boy. and 125.203 girls-9l per
cent of the entire monthly enrolment
were doing some form of Industrial
work
From another point of view, 63,0G7
pupils engaged in school gardening
cultivated 3,046 school gardens and
"a 6S2 home gardens dcring the year;
1919 pupils were enrolled in the 4egu-
lar trade school classes; 1868 in regu-
lar trade courses in other schools;
and 1850 in the shops operated in
connection with provincial and other
intermediate schools. In addition to
the above. 1886 pupils were taking
