I. FILIPINO TYPES: MANILA STUDENTS.

APPENDIX. 



students' class standing by type. 



Since compiling the present work, the class standing of the students 

 measured has been obtained from the Philippine Normal School and the 

 Philippine School of Arts and Trades^ through the kindness of Mr. 

 Beattie, and with the assistance of Teodorieo Planta, a student in the 

 Philippine Medical School who copied the grades from the records of 

 the two schools. Only the class standing for the year in which the 

 students were measured was obtained. This is classified according to 

 the type of student into three groups : literature, mathematics, and science. 

 Literature includes history, geography, languages and such general sub- 

 jects ; mathematics includes of course arithmetic, algebra, geometry, etc. ; 

 and science includes physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, and practical 

 courses necessitating handiwork. 



The grades under each of the three classes are treated in three ways : 

 first, the average is obtained, then the high grade and low grade students 

 of each type are contrasted, afterwards the extremely good and the 

 extremely bad students are discussed. 



The class standing is relative and for obvious reasons should not be 

 taken for comparison with other schools or other peoples, but I believe 

 it is a satisfactory basis for the comparison of the students among them- 

 selves.

The Australoid is the only tj'pe that has an average class standing 

 appreciably different from that of the other types. It is lower than the 

 others, and is approached most closely by the Blends. The average of 

 the first three types given is less than that of the tiext three types, and 

 the Adriatic average is the highest of all. The total average of all the 

 types is greater than that of the Blends and the difference is due to the 

 high mark of the types, and the low mark of the Blends, in mathematics. 

 In the practical work of science the Blends are slightly better in class 

 standing than the types and in the common branches of literature thej' 

 are about the same.
