be said that American children are

TION.

Every year now sees an increase in
the number of young Filipinos living
in the United States; and there are
some facts in connection with this
immigration which must be of interest
to Americans, and especially to Ameri-
can Catholics.
Last year the Wood-Forbes mission
visited the Philippines to examine the
condition Of the Island and to report
conclusions to the American govern
ment. Last December their report
was published and, to the displeasure
of many Filipinos, it made strong
plea against the granting of immedi-
ate independence.
1--WE are convinced" wrote Major
General Wood and the Hon. w. G..
Forbes, in their joint report, "that it
would be a betrayal of the Philippine
people, misfortune to the American
people, a distinct step backward in the
path of progress, and discreditable
neglect of our national duty, were we
to withdraw from the islands and ter.
inmate our relationship there without
giving the Filipinos the best chance
possible to have an orderly and per-
manently stable government.
We recommend that the present gen
eral status of the Philippine Islands
continue until the people have had
time to absorb and thoroughly master
the powers already in their hands
1t is likely, therefore, that the Phil
ippines will remain under the Ameri
can flag for some time.

is a fair candidate for home for the

There are an awful lot of things in
our American life that have run to
seed, and the school is one of them.
OF course, this is natural. Rubbish ac-
cumulates. There is no cure for it
but regular house cleaning To re-
call our elementary schools to their
original intention would be patriotic
service of the first class. To do this,
all subjects should be thrown out ex-
cept those that are proper to the pub
lie elementary schools, namely, read
ing, writing and arithmetic 1t will
be said that the children are capable
of more. Some of them are, most of
them are not, and those that are, are
forced so fast that they have no roots.
The word class means a fleet. and
the speed of fleet is the speed of the
slowest ship. At present, the teach
er has not the time to give to the
slow-brains, though the slow-br
are often in after life the most eff
cient. Everything is sacrificed to rap
id promotion, to outward show, and
the body of the class is left in hope
less illiteracy. The smart ones will
take care of themselves; they would
take care of themselves if there were
never teacher. The stupid ones will
always be stupid, just as the Lord
made them, and what is the use Of
wasting a hundred dollar education
on a ten cent brain? The children
that suffer in our system are the av-
erage children-the children who need
help, who need drawing out, who need
direction, who need stimulation, who
need in word, education. If our ele-
mentary teachers could keep this in
mind-or rather those who have the
running of the elementary school
we would in a few years get twice the
results with half the money.

RELIGION IN PHILIPPINES

first took over the Philippines the
teaching of English has been very
widely extended, and the teaching of
religion lowing to the spread of the
American public school system) has
greatly decreased At present nearly
one million young Filipinos are being
brought up under system of educa-
ton that respects all religions and
teaches none" AS the population of
the Philippines is nearly eleven mil
lions 10,956.730 according to the CEN
sus taken in 1919), it follows that
Filipinos in the proportion of nearly
one in eleven are being brought up
under the public-school system. The
Catholic bishops (notably the Arch
bishop OF Manila, DIR. O'Doherty) and
many priests, are doing splendid work
for Catholic education; but there are
many obstacles to the work, the chief
difficulty being that the Filipinos them
selves contribute only very little to
such objects as the upkeep of Catho-
lie schools.
AS the knowledge Of English in
creases, the number of Filipinos who
emigrate to the States also increases.
These emigrants are nearly all Catho-
lies, but, as may be readily under
stood from the circumstances just de-
scribed, many of them know very lit
tie of their religion or its practices.
Some of them only too easily fall vic
tins to the ever-watchful Protestant
proselytizers.
OF the 10000 foreign students in
the United States the Filipinos rank
next in number to the Chinese. 1t
has been calculated that there are
1900 Filipinos studying in American
institutions. OF these a few are sup
ported from home; many are self-sup-
porting, dividing their time between
work and study; and some are sent
out as government "pensionados." The
.pensionados" are entrusted to the
care of the educational agent of the
Philippine government, DR.. w. w.
Marquardt of Washington.
