"NV. Cameron Forlies, Philippine commissioner siw-e
1904, has written a very aide article for the Atlantic
Monthly, in which he sums up the results of American
occupancy of the islands. In ten years, says Mr. Forties,
public order has been placed upon a sound basis, the
church has been separated from the state, finances have
been improved, fjood roads are being constructed ami over
a half million children are attending school.
Mr. Forbes deals with the school issue fairly, for Eng
lish administrators say that the roads should have re
ceived greater attention and the schools less, lie sums it
up in the terse statement: "We have been criticized for
letting the Filipino think that lie is as good as anybody
else,
"However," continues Mr. Forties, "the commission
is definitely committed to the policy of schools, of rais
ing wages, introducing labor-saving machinery and, in
11 word nhii-tintr the islands ill the track of Japan. With
v., . r -
health lietter guarded and industry thriving, they should
presently support TJ.V)00,(MM) people. It industry doe
not thrive, the educated young Filipino for whom no u
portunitv is opened to make a living may become a greater
problem than the educated Halm of British India.
"Encouraged to think himself 'as good as anybody,
the Filipino has elected a native assembly, committed by
a four-fifths majority to a program of immediate inde
pendence. The children are learning to read the Declara
tion." .
"(IOODOLD TIMES."
Professor William T. Sedgwick has been lecturing 1
Columbia students on the dirt and discomfort of "the good
old times," according to the N'ew York Addition. Iteyond
doubt those elements existed. It was to the disadvantage
rif tli( p.nrlv nineteenth centurv. too. that sixteen hours
made a day's work in the mills and that whisky was only
20 cents a quart, while tea was .$." a pound. Yet "the good
old times" were present. They always are present.
The days when men's health and hearts and hopes are
at their best; the days when men see most in life and get
the best out of it; the days when sunshine and rain are nat
ural incidents and not complaints these are "the good
old times." They do not depend on the appoint nient of
health officers, the application of steam heat, the inven
tion of telegraphs, telephones, electric lights and automo
biles. Our fathers had "good old times" and so had our
grandfathers. Otherwise it would be so much the worse
for us and most modern contrivances still would be nnin
vented. These are our "good did times," which we enjoy
today. We can appreciate them without being sorry for
the people who were born ahead of them. They, too, were
happy in their way. The men and women of a later gen
eration will esteem their times lietter than ours. It is the
pleasure and privilege of every age to exult over its pred
ecessors. "When "the good old times" stop, the world may
as well drop out of its orbit. It still may go round, but
it will no longer go ahead.
