WHITE AND GOLD 3 EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. tEDITOR's N OTEeThe following is our attempt to reproduce merely the substance of a talk Dr. Barrows, a former member of the faculty and now Director of Education in the Philippines, gave in the Assem- bly Room of the Normal School, on the afternoon of January 10m. The six and a half years since I was here before do not seem such a veryelong time; but since they have been six and a half years crowded with afgreat variety of experience, I may be permitted to throw my re- marks into a form of personal narrative. Six and a half years ago the revolutionary condition in the Philip- pines was at its heighteits crisis. That revolutionary condition Which had taken possession of the minds of the Filipino people was inherited by the United States. After we took possession of these islands the con- test was continued, prolonged, long after the Filipino troops were defeated, in the form of secret organizations throughout the Archipelago. The great question was, what was to be done with these seyen million people? What were the promises to be held out to them? Our government de- cided to do what it has already done here; to rely upon education to bn'ng about social stability; to enlighten not the few, but the entire mass; to educate these ignorant, debased people, living in a scale of life far beneath that which even the meanest human being is entitled to, and increase their industrial ehiciency.

There are half a million pagans in the Archipelago, fellows that spend their time racing over the mountains, taking one anotherts heads OE, and on the great Southeastern frontier, there are about fifty thousand Mohammedans, who form two great political powers, two sultanates, great, barbaric, with an undoubted brilliancy and splendor, though built upon slavery and oppression. I speak not of these, however, but of those that are left, the seven million Christians, who form the population of the greater part of the islands. Their aspirations are the same as ours; they are not shut off by fanaticism, as the Mohammedans, nor by ig- norance, as are the pagans, nor are they steeped in the lethargy and calm of the Buddhists. Their faces are set the way ours are set; you can ap- peal to them on the same grounds. These people are one of the coming people. The other tribes of Polynesia are disappearing.
