fields developed. Excellent transportation facilities by railway and 

 motor cars to Bagnio arid living accommodations there, render Baguio 

 available this year to large numbers for the first time. An altitude of 

 5,000 'feet, a temperature generally ranging from 12° to 22° C, pine 

 forests, and a pure water supply, combine to make Benguet Province one 

 of the most healthful places in the world. Fruits and vegetables of the 

 temperate zone are being cultivated in this province. Many miles of 

 first-class wagon roads have been constructed, a club house has been 

 built, and golf links have been laid out. 



Before the close of the coming year, with the masses of the christian- 

 ized Filipinos of the Archipelago immune from smallpox, with the 

 segregation of all lepers in the Islands at the Culion colony, with the 

 completion of sanitary improvements of great magnitude now in progress, 

 with the more complete extension of systematic scientific methods of 

 sanitation to all parts of the Islands, and with the wider dissemination 

 of sanitary knowledge among the people, it is hoped the battle waged 

 under unusual difficulties to conquer disease in the Philippine Islands 

 will have been partially won and some of the great problems in the realm 

 of preventive medicine solved.
