witonasookY, SPOIL 111, 11921 THE RIVER PRESS. • 7 &hods Are Making Filipinos An English Speaking Race This Is lila type of sohoolroom that Is rapidly making an English speaking nation out of the 10,500,000 inhabitants of the Philippines. 72 a tear la a public school la Ihe Philippines desires t• punish a child, she doesn't have to . apply the Puler. She simply sentence\ the Wend- ing pupil to remain away from school a few days! This is the most severe punishment She can inflict, for Filipino children take as almost abnormal pleasure in going to echo& and acquiring an edu- motion. The legislature, in response to the popular demand for \schoois and still more schools,\ is constantly increasing its appropria- Boas for education, but the schools ea& scarcely be constructed fast enough to oars for the ever-increasing enrollment The school enrollment is now 892,000 without any compulsory attendance laws. When Dewey sailed into Manila Bay there were 2,100 private schools in the islands. Today there are 6,500 schools and colleges, with 17,000 Fili- pino teachers and about 1,000 other teachers, 341 of whom are Americans. The University of the Philippines is the center of learning of the entire Orient, and be the pride of the Fili- pino people. It has an enrollment of 3,600 students. Santo Tomas univer- sity o Manila, older than Harvard, 12 anothWe famous seat of learning. The school system includes normal schools, agricultural colleges, twenty- seven farm schools, a nautical sel000l and a school for the deaf and blind. The Filipino pupil, in addition to learning English and in addition to his regular studies, learns basket making, embroidery and hat weaving, the trades peculiar to the Islands, as well as the domestic sciences and pedagogy. There are more positions than can be filled by the trade school and com- mercial college graduates. The trade and agricultural schools produced $1,- 178,850 worth of goods is 1919 There Is nothing that the Filipino people take mete pride in and that they are mere grateful to the Vatted States for, than their schen system, which has been declared by many com- petent critters to be one of the finest In the world. While the system was implanted in the islands by ameri- cans, every cent of the cost has been cheerfully borne by the Filipino peo- ple. The schools are making an Eng- lint speaking race of the Filipino na- tioo. English is the official language, and it is declared will continue to be when independence is granted. “The Buono boys and girls are well balanced, docile and industrious University ef the Philippines which Has an Enrollment of 3,500 Students. pupils,\ says Junius B. Wood, wh. was Rent to the islands by the Chicago Daily News to investigate conditions there. \To attend school is a privi- lege to a Filipino child or young man, not an unwelcome duty. In the cities those who work days go to school at night. \Today there Ii hardly a barrio where youngsters cannot be found who speak English. One-third of the house of representatives and eighteen of the twenty-four senators speak English. ro the next election, in 1922, the young men of the new schools will be step- ping Into control, and the first great goal of the public school system will have been reached.\ A Passing Landmark of Old Manila This Is a photograph of the famous old Bridge of Spain, Manila. /t is now a departed landmark of the Philippines, for Its place has been taken by one of Vie finest bridges in the entire Orient, the new Jones bridge. The Jones Bridge is named in honor of the late Congressman W. A. Jones of Virginia, author of the Jones law of 1916 which promised the Filipinos independence upon the establishment of a stable government. The old Bridge of Spain is called \the mother of Manila's bridges.\ The original bridge was built of pontoons sometime between the years 1590 and 1600, being known as the Bridge of Boats. The stone bridge shown above was built about 1630. It was twice damaged by earthquakes, and was once partly demolished by a flood. . 1 PRESS COMMENT 1 ON PHILIPPINES The Philippines! (Shenandoah (Ia.) Post) Our idea of the Philippine question Is to get out as quickly as possible and stay out. What do you say? Our Little Brown Cousins (Argus, Rock Island, ni.) There is no mistaking that Filipinos want their independence. And It Is just possible, as they Insist, that they In the islands, better than we Ameri- cans over here, are the best Judges of wlipther they are fitted for independ- er.e. The United States %vents no outburst in the Philippines as England faces In Ireland. The easiest way to head off a rebellion is to give the /elands their independence before they have cause to rebel. Shall We Let Philippines Go? (Cedar Rapids (Ia.) Republican.) The United States cannot continue to hold the Philippines unless this na- tion wants to give the lie to Its own professions In the matter. The United States must keep faith with the world. The American people do not want the Philippine Islands to become their Irish question. Filipinos Are Making Headway • (ML Vernon (0.) Republican -News) The Filipinos are making an inten- sive and Intelligent campaign for in- dependence. They are urging their claims with shrewdness and vigor. They declare that they have proven beyond question that they are capable of self-government, and they believe that with Independence the Filipino will so conduct himself as to gain the respect of the world.
