NEW LANGUAGE HAS EVOLVED
Americans In the Philippines Havo
= Departed In Largo Measure From
Familiar Tongue. -

Fifteen years ago the American flag
first floated over q Malay archipelago
In the far Pacific. Spanish was the
current speech among the upper class
es there. The common people spoke a
dozen different dialects-unintelligib
one to the other.
We came, saw and possessed, and,
shortly after the flag, boatloads Of
teachers arrived with the school books
and pedagogy of the west
The teachers brought American lit
erature with them. They brought
American songs, American games,
American ideas and American ideals
and they brought the American man.

Meanwhile reflex action was quiet
ly at work. Without realizing it the
newcomers were being Influenced by
the new land and the new people.
New methods of living were en-
forced on the Americans. Their rules
OF health did not always apply. Day
after day they were surrounded by
people observing strange customs, fol-
lowing a totally different moral code
Gradually the cuatoms became less
strange, the moral code less different
and the tongue less unfamiliar. While
endeavoring to establish their ways
and methods, the Americans uncon-
sciously were yielding to the ways and
methods of the country.
Many things of great value in the
old order had no place in the new. In
particular the old manner Of speech
often failed to convey the meaning in.
tended
The Americans daily encountered
things they had no names for. They
met conditions which could not be apt
ly described in their own tongue. The
Filipino obligingly furnished the name
or expression from some one of his
vernaculars and it passed into the cur
rent speech of the American.
Then certain officials, trades, articles
of clothing and food that had names in
English would be repeatedly referred
to by the Filipinos in their own dia-
lect when they talked with their teach
eTs. Gradually the teachers came to
use the same expressions.
We have been a separate nation
from England for over 100 years and
