 In an article contributed to The Pearl of the Orient, Mir. Rose writes The Filipinos, contrary to the repre- sentations of some critics of the coun- try who call them children who have to be told all they ever know or think or do, are original and at least as students are able to think for them selves. The boys are for the most part hard, steady workers, willing to earn their education, and as for the products of the manual training de- partment, their work is next to per feet.
 It is also very gratifying to find the type of men we do already on the field. There is a strength of person ality about them that makes us very glad to be numbered with the mission aries. It is inspiring to line up with them in the battle that confronts us on every side in the Philippines. It is in schools like this at Jaro that the educated, thoughtful industrious Christian future of the country is be- ing assured.
