THE PHILIPPINE EXPERIENCES OF AN AMERICAN TEACHER THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THOSE AMERICANS, WHO, BY NOBLE EXAMPLE, BY BENEVOLENT MINISTRATION AND BY, UNSELFISH LABOR UNDER TRYING CONDITIONS, ARE TEACHING THE BEST AMERICANISM TO THE FILIPINOS Take up the White Mana burden Ye dare not stoop to less Nor call too loud on Freedom To doke your weariness. By all ye will or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The dent sullen peoples Shall weigh your God and you. FOREWORD THE author trusts that the perusal of the following pages will result in a better appre ciation of some desirable traits of Filipino character, in a stronger conviction of the un wisdom 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. FEBRUARY 9, 1906.
