Excerpt from The Philippine Experiences of an American Teacher: A Narrative of Work and Travel in the Philippine Islands The author trusts that the perusal of the following pages will result in a better appreciation of some desirable traits of Filipino character, in a stronger conviction of the unwisdom of granting, at this time, any greater degree of self-government than the Filipinos already possess, and in a fuller understanding of the work that is being done in the public schools in the attempt to fit the people for the eventual exercise of complete autonomy. It should be noted that, usually, the names of the persons mentioned, and in the last two chapters, the names of the places, are fictitious. A list of the Spanish and Philippine terms used in the narrative may be found at its close. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
