Governor of the Philippines: "The
abandoned children Of American
fathers and Filipino mothers are grow
ing up in pernicious surroundings.
Boys and girls become the prey Of de-
structive influences; but when prop
erly guarded and educated they show
signs Of becoming useful and desir-
able citizens, striving for American
ideals"
The care of these children costs $40

rected at Nordicism, it reveals 4 skele-
