Note 3 — Chapter XIII · (continued 2)

Fred W. Atkinson, formerly general superintendent of public instruction in the Philippines, says: “The early work of the Jesuits in training the Filipinos was commendable, and along right lines in furnishing a common school education. It would have been productive of permanently good results if this order had not been supplanted by the local padres, under whose direction the common branches suffered through lack of attention.” See Report of Commissioner of Education, 1900–1901, ii, p. 1317. ↑
