ILOILO

EDUCATION

Almost all the people are literate. A good number of them have at least a high school education. Besides its public schools for boys and girls, the city has several private institutions of learning among which are the Colegio de San Agustin and the Iloilo Institute, both for boys with the latter also receiving girls, and the Colegio de la Asuncion, the Colegio del Sagrado Corazon and the Colegio de Santa Ana, all for girls. The Protestants have recently established the Central Philippine College which is located in the adjacent town of Jaro. There are also commercial schools in the city as well as a number of kindergarten schools.

NEWSPAPERS

A testimony to the culture of the people is the number of newspapers and magazinės in circulation. Besides the foreign and Manila newspapers and magazines which can be had in the city, Iloilo has four Spanish dailies, one English Daily, two Visayan Weeklies, one Visayan monthly, and one Visayan paper issued every three days. Papers may be easily lad from the newsboys. Magazines may be bought at several stores.

RECREATION

There are four first class theatres in the city showing American or Spanish sound pictures in addition to several cheaper grade and one theatre showing Chinese film. On occasion, world-known artists give performances in the city. Out-of-door recrea- tion can be had at the beach alongside the city, particularly at the Cota Drive which forms part of the beach and serves Iloilo in the same way the Dewey Boulevard serves Manila.
