names are Filipino; in a few, English. It is hoped that 

 the names suggested will become general throughout the 

 Islands, not because of any special merit in any one of 

 them, but in order to facilitate communication and attain 

 some degree of uniformity in their use. No violence will 

 be done to the local name existing in any one locality, for 

 close questioning will bring out the fact that except for 

 the very common plants local names are not dependable 

 and are applied carelessly and indifferently to various 

 plants. 



If more specific information is desired on any one point 

 discussed in the bulletin, it will be furnished whenever 

 possible by the Bureau of Education through its industrial 

 and publications division, or, if of sufficient general interest, 

 through the medium of The Philippine Craftsman. 



In order that the industrial museum of the Bureau of 

 Education may continue to be a success, it needs the active, 

 hearty cooperation of division superintendents and teachers 

 at all times. Attention is therefore especially invited to 

 Bulletin No. 46 dealing with the industrial museum, library, 

 and exhibits of the Bureau of Education in which the aims 

 and purposes of the museum are fully discussed.

Director of Education.
