cici1,enry~ rather than the higher
education of a select few, ",IS the best safeguard ror
a democracy.
So it was that in 1901, a band of American
teachers set our to perform an arduous rosk. Armed
wirh books, pencils, paper and slates, fired by the
highcsr ideals and a genuine desire to help build a
nev.•narion across the seas, hundreds ofyoung 1ncn
'md women tmincd by some of the best
educational instirutions in the United Stntts
established a modem public school system which
was to have fur-reaching effects on the Filipino
way oflife.
Sent throughout the archipelago, they worked
zealously in a country vhosc numerous: c1hnic
groups differrcd in language, religion, manners and
customs. Floods, typhoons, tropical diseases and
the lack oftransportation facilities added greatly to
the challenges oftheir work, but their earnestness
and innate pioneering •pirit saw them through
those seemingly insurmoun1:1ble difficulties.
Nearly one hundred years later, the United
States and the Philippines look back at an
Ainerican experi1nent that has no counterpart ln
world history•. Herc then, arc American
contributions to Philippine education.

them walked down the gangplank into the
annals ofPhilippine history.
Within a short span oftime, manyofthe
teachers, now referred to as T homasices, funned
out to the provinces to begin their tasks.
One of the first and most far-reaching
decisions made by American education:~
authorities in the Philippines was to give all
instruction in English. 'Ibis was probably the
greatest single unif)•ing factor during the
American period.
Early American teachers also instilled a
respect for the dignity of labor. Gardening
was one subject which helped do that as
towns learned to take pride in their school
gardens, laid out Yith meticulous care by
teachers and their students.
Financial problems plagued the new
teachers. Lack ofadequate communication
with lllanila hampered their work, and often
their salaries would be delayed for months.
This meant that supplies would not be

:wailable. Bur the Filipinos were so anxious to
keep theirschools going that they made it
poo;sible for classes to be run without financial
assistance. Municipal officiili rumcd Oi:t their
offices as classrooms. Ordinances were enacted
and the fines for violarlng 1hcm were used to
run schools. EYen storekeepers exrended credit
for food. Siruarions like the;c brought out the
best in the Filipinos'con1muniry spirit.
The Amcrimn teachers were also the best
salesmen ofdemocracy in the Philippines.
Through their precept<!, their classroom
techniques, their d...Jing> with the people,
their beha'ior, and their pcrs<>naVsociaVofficial
rdarlonships, ~-ilipinos formed their concept of
democracy. By their impartial treannent of rich
and poor, the American teachers showed the
real meaning ofequality.They raught their
pupils notjust to nlcn1ori1.c but to think,
enabling them to voice their opinions and
m:inifest their inherent VOrth as individuals.
