A quarter of a million enrollment of

scholars in tho public schools of the Phil

ippines gives the brightest promise for the

future of the Archipelago In spite of all

protests it has been found by practical dem

onstration that the policy of making the

English language the basis of all primary

instruction was wise There are thou

sands of young Filipinoes who three

years ago had never heard a word of

English who now speak and write it

fairly well There nre 2000 Filipino

teachers who were a few years ago al

most as ignorant of the language but

who arc now giving instructions in it

In many ways the teachers who went

from America have been of signal service

to the country particularly during the

cholera epidemic where frequently the

teacher was the only American in the

town nnd the only one that had any

knowledge of a rational treatment of the

stricken ones Both men and women

stuck bravely to their posts and no

doubt were instrumental In saving num

berless lives Three of tho teachers died

of cholera

The much coveted but in this case

the well earned star of a Brigadier-General

will go to Comrade Chas A Wood
