A

A misleading tiha e of the situation

appreciative of what has been done for

the Philippine Islands t”
The question was propounded re-
cently to a group of men, women, and
youths of high school ape assembled at
• home entertainment. Tlie substance
of all replies proved that those present
knew the Philippines! First, as « place
Inhabited by sawigrs who hunted
human head., used poisoned arrows and
curious knurs, and nte roast dog.
Second, as the scene of Admiral
Dewey's Battle of Manila n«y. Third,
M a place where Gen. Pershing gained
early military experience In putting
down a rebellious native leader and his
followers. And fourth, as a tropical
country where coco-iuts grew abund-
antly, and the native women make
embroidery.
How much exact information can you

that in location and natural resources
tho Philippines are today the mast

Islands “came under the complete and

ritory of the United States over which
