CAMPAIGN

AN ISLAND

AM TO TEACH ADULTE

An islandwide campaign for the education of Illiterate adulta in the Philippine Islands has boen discussed by the advisory. board of the National Supreme; Council, says the Manila Bulletin.

The council's committee on public instruction has drawn up a tentative plan, as followe

To teach all adults above 18 years of age reading and writing. in the dialect of the locality, elementary Philippine history and civics and simple arithmetio before June 14, 1931

To strengthen the basis of democratic sooisi organization by incrossing the number of literate oitizens, ABAJO

To strengthen the bonds of union of all the Filipinos by enabling everyone to read and write

ORGANIZATION, AGE

The national supreme council will designate June 19, 1926, Rizal a Birthday, by proclamation, as the formal opening day of the campaign throughout the Islands

Civio parades and programmes will be organized inall municipalities on that day, by the local committee of the national solidarity, with tho as sistance of the principal of the central school and two public spirited citizens:

The provincial committee on national solidarity, together with two public spirited citizens appointed by the same,will constitute the provincial literacy board, and the municipal committee on national solidarity, together with two public spirited citizens will constitute the mun- icipal literacy board. They will be directly in charge of the literacy work in their respective jurisdictions.

Pledge: The following pledge will be distributed to all intermediate, high school and univarsity students: "Having received of my country the gift of education, I owe it to her to pass it on to others less fortunate than myself. I will therefore, before this year is over, teach at least one illiterate adult how to read? and write in my dialect. This I Bolemnly pledge myself to - đò with the help of God."

The provincial and municipal literacy board will also establish night schools to be known as citizen schools" for the teaching. of illiterate adults. These schools will be held, during vacation months in order to utilize the. services of the teachers and students, or, on moon-light nights only, during the months that the country people are not at work in the fields, Volunteer teachers: of the citizen schools will contribute service to the national subscription campaign, in lieu of money, and will receive. a- certificate for the service,

The manager of Messrs. John Pound and Co. informed a re- presentative of The Observer that the sale of purses declined 75 por cont. when sovereigns wore withdrawn.. Up to that time,” he said, "men used to carry what is known as the pigskin Portsea purse, with sovereigns in, one division and silver-in the other, coppers being carried loose in the pocket. A few carried metal sovereign-cases attached, to their watch-chain-a thing we are never asked for now. The salo of the sovereign case has been taken by that of the note-case, which still sells freely: Womon, of course, have always carried pursos, ofthor in their handbag or attached to it by a chain: but even women have not been buy- ing pursos to the same extent as formiorly.

When one building has been completed to the first-floor level, the shuttering is removed to the site of the next building. The second set of shuttering then comes into operation for the up- por storey.

The houses are of the non- parlour type, with solid walls throughout, and the cost of £425 por house-including drains, foncos, electrio wiring, gaspoints; compares with £500 for 1 similar house in brick.

This figure of £425 works out at 10d. pur super foot.
