Bishop falIows Of Chicago Tells
Conference Of filipinos

Mohonk Lake, n. T., oct. 23.-The
need of extending missionary work
among the Moros and the pagan
tribes Of the Philippines was brought
Ia the attention of the Lake Mohonk
Conference of Friends Of the Indians
and other Dependent Peoples today
by the RI Rev. Samuel Fellows, Pro-
testant Episcopal bishop Of Chicago.
Bishop Falows. who spent some
months in the Philippines early this
year, said that the difficulties of the
task were Well worth surmounting
because these savage tribes were the
most yirile and energetic of the Arch
iplago
The wild tribes number zoe, 900 and
the followers of Mohammed about
100000. The Mohammcdaus include
the Moros, who embrace the Malay pl-
rates that for more than 300 years
have terrorzed the Orient. They have
been characterized as "A ferocious. cru
81 body Of men, treacherous and ra-
pacious to the last dee rec. But yet"
said Bishop Fallows there IS a
splendid human material out Of which
la make thoroughly human men and
women"
Much has been done" he said, for
the Filipinos proper by the Roman
Catholic ana the Protestant churches.
But little effort has been put forth
70 reach the two classes | have men
toned in this broad missionary move
ment. The RI, Rev. Charles ii. Brent,
ID. d., the Protestant Episcopal Bish-
op of the Archipelago. has alone con-
contracted his laborS upon their moral
and spiritual uplift. 1t has been
work OF faith and labor of live in spite
of all the Inherent difficulties con-
nected with 1t. The results already
achieved give the promise and poten-
cy Of a most inspiring future"

neneficient work of the Philippine
school system and what II is doing
for Philippine freedom was described
at the Lake Mohonk conference by
DR.. Paul : Monroe. professor of the
history of education In the New York
Teachers college. Dr. Monroe has
Just returned from a year in the Or
tent, much Of which was spent in the
Philippines. He said, in part:
In this work are engaged 500 Am
orican teachers, 1000 Filipino teachers,
instructing about 100, 000 Filipino
children. This Is about fifty per cent
If the children of school age. II h
animated that there are about 100000
natives who can understand and use
simple English. This in itself is no
small element In tho new freedom,
Tor IT, gives them not only that great
81 breadth Of view and of action which
comes 10 anyone for the acquisition
Of language besides tho native one,
but IL gives him some command OF o
literature and Of a culture which is
but slightly developed in his native
tongue. This use of English gives him
