lowed two types of civi'ization-the
religious type and the political type
declared DR.. Trinidad H. Pardo de
Tavera, native of the Philippines, and
one of the three Filipino members OF
the Philippine commission appointed
by the president of the United States
in 1901, in an address at the eleventh
annual commencement of the Univer
sity of the Philippines.
He said he would attempt to show
that the present generation of Fill
pinos gives so much consideration to
the political aspect of their lives that
social interests are forgotten. He as
serted that politics predominates in
their social life at present, just as
religion dominated in the past, He
advocated an education that conforms
with the present mould of progress
and enlightenment not an education
to preserve national things.

I'VE Filipinos should not continue
our former errors" he said. Instead
of that narrow false and primitive
conception we should adopt a broader
more just and more certain criterion
of people or nation We are the re
suit of the union and fusion of very
different races, and although the Ma
lay race enters into the combination
to a great extent, yet the part played
by the Chinese, Japanese and others
especially the Spanish race, is by nc
means small We should not recall
our origin, because it will be of nc
avail in Strengthening our union
which should be our objective.
In our modern education, too, We
must inculcate ideas Numerically op
posed to those of the past, in order
to attain welfare and happiness il
present life. Business, agriculture
and industry are the activities tha'
should attract our youth, who are
now after politics and administrative
careers.

things, for perfect harmony. They
are liberty of conscience, English "a

MOVIE CENSORSHIP

spite of all the agitation for the pas
sage Of such measures on the part of
Of such legislation has been proposed.
Some has merely been introduced.
Some has passed one house. Some
has even gotten a favorable hearing
in the committee room of one house
after having successfully run the
gauntlet of opposition in the other
But always something has interviewed
to prevent its enactment into a law
A typical case is that of Missouri
A bill to create a board of censorship
consisting of three members, one a
woman. at a salary of $4,000 yearly
each, was passed, after a stormy de-
bate, by the lower house at the last
legislative session. For some reason
or other the bill was late in leaving
the house. The senate committee
took it's full ten days. as entitled by
law. in celebrating upon it. The re
suit was that despite the strenuous
efforts of its friends TO get the bill on
the calendar it died in the committee
room. This bill provided for a fee
of So to be levied on the film manufac-
turer for each 1900 feet of film cen
sored. Had it passed, the normal cir
culation of films in Missouri would
have been cut down by approximately
20 per cent, it's sponsors say.
Indiana Kills Bill

kota all considered bills for creating
censorship boards at their last legis-
lative session, and the senate in the
killed bills the house had passed
In South Dakota, perhaps, the bit
terest fight of all occurred. A bill
providing for the creation of a COM
mission consisting of three members
passed in the house. When it reached
the senate an amendment was tackled
on making it compulsory that all
films and all advertising matter be
submitted to at least two members of
the commission, whose decision in all
cases would be absolute and final. In
this amendment the house refused to
concur. on the ground that existence
of a board so empowered would take
away from the people the right of ref,
erendum. The senate refused to re-
tract its amendment. with the result
that the bill passed into limbo.
