Photographs are employed in
teaching English in many schools in
the Philippines. In one division,
that of Nueva Ecija, island of Luzon,
they are used in this way in %
central schools and II barrio schools.
Educational authorities in the is
lands desire that the English spoken
shall be as similar as possible to
the language of the United States,
and, as it is impossible to employ
the thousands of American teachers
that would be required to bring this
about, the use of monographs with
