MANILA DAILY BULLETIN 



1918, the Philippine Legislature voted $15,- 

 000,000 in addition to the regular appro- 

 priations to he used in placing free elemen- 

 tary schools within the reach of every child 

 of school age in the Philippine Islands. The 

 expenditure of these funds covers the next 

 five years and is distributed so that by the 

 end of 1923 there will be teachers, buildings, 

 books, and equipment enough to give for all 

 children of school age in the Islands an ele- 

 mentary- education. 



No expression of the wishes of the Filipino 

 [>eop!e, who are solidly behind this measure, 

 could show as high confidence in the schools 

 established under American guidance and 

 maintained by Philippine resources as the 

 passage of this far-reaching measure which 

 will not only double the number of pupils in 

 the schools but will increase the salaries of 

 municipal teachers at least 30 per cent. This 

 action dispels the many doubts expressed 

 on many occasions as to the continuance of 

 the American system of education after the 

 ideal of Philippine independence has been 

 achieved. 



The system of education established in 

 the Philippine Islands by Americans is des- 

 tined to remain and to exert its influence 

 thruout the Far East. The Filipino people 

 can be relied on to continue, with the help 

 of American teachers, the most important 

 work that the United States has undertaken 

 in the Philippine Islands a work unique in 

 conception, successful beyond expectation, 

 and influential in the development of the 

 Far East a work that owes its past, its 

 present, and its future to the cooperation 

 of Americans and Filipinos.
