'Ciba llnbeg 11 There are enrolled at present in the public schools over 200,000 pupils. Night schools are reaching at least 50,000 more. This number could be doubled at once if money were to be had to pay the native teachers. For ex- ample, I have in my town tive barrios which desire a public school but which have not had any this year because of lack of money. This bad financial con- dition is due to the fact that more than half the land in this town or pueblo triar land, and that the triar lands were released from taxation during the past year. At the first of the year only one of these b-arrios requested a school, but now all desire it. Thus it can be seen that the enrollment could be trebled in this town if money could be had. This is the case in nearly all the towns of this province and many other provinces. We are all at times terribly discouraged and the dithculties we meet with are often enough to discourage the niost optimistic, but although we have had TO modify our view of the capacity of these people very nia.terially, we still feel that the work is going to be a success. We are going to keep on, and the time will surely come when the Filipinos will appreciate our etiiorts and meet them with corresponding effort on their part. We are really doing a glorious work. We are opening the eyes ot the blind. We are bringing to a benighted race the light of reason. As to the representatives of the old Normal, I feel thai we are fairly hold- ing up the reputation of the school.. The other day when our division super-- intendent was visiting nie, he was talking of the work of different teachers and happened to remark, f'That man Fairchild has as much hard sense as any man in the province. I was proud to say, CtHe is an I. S. N. U. boyf' We have all been raised in salary and that would seem. to show that our work here is counted worthy. lt is certain that we are all doing our best. and that is all any man can do. We all send our greetings to the old school and best wishes to the class of 1903. Guo. M. PALMER.
