coeducation FlourishlnQ.
During the Spanish regime coeduca-
ton was thing totally unknown in
the Philippines. The system was to
have schools for boys and schools for
girls exclusively. The converts under
the supervision of the sisters were
mostly the places where the girls were
taught. The boys were In the so-called
religious schools under the manage
ment Of the friars. Now, however,
everything is changed, 80 far as the
public schools are concerned. The
proportion Of girls to boys in the pub
lie schools has increased very rapidly.
During the last FIVE years the attend
ance of boys In the intermediate
schools increased 50 per cent. while
the attendance of girls increased 22S
per cent. In the high schools the at
tendance Of boys increased $50 pei
cent and the attendance of girl,
267 per cent. The Increase of womer
enrolled in the various branches o.
the University Of the Philippines is alst
marked. In 1910 the number was 81
in 1918 1t was 555.

moral. economic. social and political
development Of the people Of the IL
lands who are mono Christian.
The first step taken in pursuance
of this policy was the establishment
and extension of public schools in all
the non-Christian territory. There ID
today an average daily attendance Of
1914 pupils among the non-C Christian
people. In the so-called Mountain
province and In the province Of Nueva
vizcaya, where the mountain peoples
are, there are 318 Filipino teachers.
In the department Of Mindanao and
Sulu there are 183.

the Americas, was that the colonies
should be exploited for her benefit.
The United States reversed this policy
and Immediately began the work of
uplifting the Filipinos.
The first step taken by America on
her occupation of the Philippines was
the establishment Of public schools.
With what enthusiasm the Filipinos
greeted this policy of the new regime
may be deduced from the fact that
the schools of the islands have always
been overcrowded. Today the Philip
pine government supports 5000
schools, with teaching force Of about
1900. The number Of pupils is esti-
mated at 675,OOO. The medium of in
struction is the English language.
The financial support comes from the
Filipino people in the form Of taxes
and donations.
Teachers Mostly Filipinos.
The teachers in the primary schools,
as well as in the intermediate and
secondary schools, are today almost
all Filipinos. The number of Filipino
supervising teachers increased from
200 in 1915 to 294 in 1918. There
are Al American supervising teachers.
OF the teaching force in the secondary
schools A per cent are Filipinos. The
majority Of the industrial supervisors
are also Filipinos. There are six
Filipino superintendent Of schools
and both the assistant director Of edu.
cation and the undersecretary of pub
lie instruction are Filipinos. About
90 per cent of the instructors and pro
fessors in the University of the Philip
pines are Filipinos.
Philippine school activities ar,
economic. Industrial, physical and so
cial in scope. In the words Of DR.. w

as director Of education in the islands

For example, home gardens are re
quired to be planted by pupils unde
the supervision of teachers. There ar
also poultry-raising clubs and pie
raising clubs. The pupils keep record
books showing the cost of operatio
and the net profits from their farmin
enterprises. In this way the school
are kept In touch with the home.
Industrial instruction.
Industrial instruction receives sp,
cial attention. The following figure
give an idea Of the value of the con

for the school year 1917-1S: Embroi,
cries, $12,5OO; lace, $1,000: croche
$4,000; sewing, $4,000; cooking. 50
500; basketry, $4,000; hats, s1.5OC
products Of loom weaving, $500
bamboo-rattan furniture, $4,000.
Most of the schools have domest
science courses, cooking, home ma,

State NOU Ready

of the largest and most important
cities and towns in the state organ
lied for the 1920 tuberculosis
Christmas Seal sale, which begins
on December l and ends on Decem-
Der Is is ready for a record breaking
effort to conserve and promote pub
lie health.
Twenty million tuberculosis
Christmas seals are in the hands Of
county and city hairmen and work
ers, and many thousands have al
neady been sold, far in advance OF
the opening of the sale. Seventy
six of the II counties Of the state
will take an active part in the drive
In addition to the tuberculosis
seals, which sell for one cent each
the people Of Oklahoma will be
given an opportunity this year to
buy Health Bonds. These are model
ed after the familiar Liberty Bond
except that they pay dividends o
health and happiness. They will be
sold in denominations of from s. to
$1,000
Since half the money raised in
each county will be spent in that
county for public health work, it is
expected that the Tuberculosis
Christmas Seal sale will surpass pre-
vious years by far. The total cash
raised each year since the sale began
has been larger than the year pre-
vious, and if the state reaches its
quota of 10 seals per capita, Okla
homa will be at the head OF the list

work, instead of at the foot as al
