In the standard schoolhouse plans
each unit is 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 173
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
In the general intermediate course.
These special Industrial courses are
replacing the general course in many
intermediate schools. Already Al
schools are giving the farming course,
/ {. are giving the housekeeping course,
IS are giving the trade course, AZ the
teaching course, and one the business
course, as compared with total OF

y he TWELFTH annual report of
the director of education for
the Philippine islands, cover
ing the school wear ending


4 ing the school year ending
April l, 1912, has just been
received by the bureau of insular af-
fairs.
1t is very comprehensive state
ment Of the educational program in
the islands, shows that very encour-
aging results have been obtained dur
Ing tie past year in all lines of school
activities and that "the achievement
OF civilization and a high culture" is
well entered upon.
Some of the specific things accom-
plished during the past year are enum-
Grated by the director. Progress has
been very marked in the improve
ment in the quality of English taught
In all the schools whether of primary,
intermediate or secondary grade.
Industrial instruction has been organ
lied and developed to greater extent
than In any previous year. A large
number Of permanent school build
dngs have been completed. The
policy Of acquiring adequate school
sites has found general acceptance
and much attention has been given to
the Improvement Of temporary build
ings. Through the vacation assem-
bly, at Baguio, the bureau has come
into closer sympathy with the vast
majority of its teachers than ever be-
fore. A decided improvement is re-
ported In the personnel Of the teach
ing force. both American and Filipino,
Specialization In Elementary Schools.
In the Philippines specialization
must begin much lower down in the
course than is the usual practice in
the United States, although many edu-
Gators here are coming to recognize
that the earlier this specialization can
be introduced the better. In the is-
lands 1t begins with the first year OF
the intermediate grades, five courses
being provided-the general course,
the course for teaching, the course
IN farming. the trade course, the
course In housekeeping and household
arts, and the course in business. This
specialization is Incorporated into
the course Of study in order that the
child may secure such training as
will directly prepare him for q useful
life.
careful study and comparison Of
education In the Philippines with that
carried on in other tropical countries
enjoying practically the same condi-
tons as obtain there, shows that 1t
is the aim of nearly every one Of these
countries to make education general,
but as a rule the percentage of popu-
lation attending school is much lower
than In the Philippines. In very few
cases Is special attention being given
to industrial education. The elemen-
tary schools are seldom considered in
the plan Of industrial instruction, the
attention being confined to advanced
technical and agricultural subjects.
For a number of years the bureau
has been committed to the policy. OF
providing adequate permanent build
ings for the housing of the public
schools as rapidly as money might be
made available
In the furtherance of this policy
standard plans based upon the uni,
system Of construction. which allows
additions to be made as necessity may
demand without detracting from the
appearance or utility OF the origina
structure, have been prepared.

EDUCATING Exceptional
chil oAEN.

ut Is often the exceptionally bright
child, ever the genius, whom we find
on the wrong side" says Or. Maxim
lllan p. Il. Groszmann, discussing the
education of exceptional children In
the annual report OF the United
States Commissioner OF Education
lust issued. 1.-THE stupid and weak
minded criminal Is not rs dangerous
as tho clever and Intellectual Grim
inal."
DR.. Groszmann urges that publica'
ton be directed 10 all types OF OK
ceptional children, not merely to the
fecble.minded and degenerate. who,
no matter how undesirable a factor
they may be In society, are by no
means the whole problem. He points
out that the problem OF the exception.
al child Is by no mean merely the
problem OF the "defectiye," or the
"subnornal,' or the abnormal child.
Often It Is n case Of misdirected abil.

gether With the difficulties OF social
adjustment in a nation which has
grown through Immigration.
Real progress, particularly in dis.
tinguishiug between the various types
Of exceptional children, is reported
by DR.. Gros1mann. He considers the
great lesson Of the year to be the
need for Intelligent, united effort on
the part of educators, medical nen.
social workers. charity organizations,
welfare societies, juvenile courts II
other agencies that have been active
in the eudeavor to remedy early neg.

point Is that each OF these separate
agencies Is doing c~onmendable work,
but that they must now join forces.
Or. Groszmann asks compulsory ed.

that it Is a mistake to exempt the ex.
