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 of young 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 of life. 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 of transportation facilities added greatly to the challenges of their 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.

On June 12, Philippine independence from Spain was declared, and on June 23, a Rc\'Olutionary Government "'as set up. By NO\·cmbcr 29, the ;\lalolos Constirution was appro\'cd, which pro,;dcd for a free and compulsory elementary school system.

A few days after Dewey's •ictory, tl>c first American $Choo! in che Philippines was established in Corregidor. Ritl1er William McKinnon, Catholic Chaplain of the First CaLifornia Volunteer Regiment, then became in.stn1mcntal in opening S<.."\o"-cn more schools in Manila.

The group which gnthered thnt morning wns a restless and excit<'<f flock of young men and women selected by the U.S, Civil Service Commission for assigrumnt to the newly­acquirc:d U.S. tarirory on the doorstep to

China. The 600 that came to the Philippines on the converted cattle cruiser Minnewaska, renamed the uansport 1/xunas, \Vt:re not the first American teachc:rii. sent over but the biggest group. Ahead of them, on the Sh,'l'idon, came 48 others who took over where the discharged army officers left off. By 1902, the number of American teachers swelled to 1,074.

Within a short span of time, many of the 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 of adequate communication with l\llanila hampered their work, and often their salaries would be delayed for months. This meant that supplies would not be

The Amcrimn teachers were also the best salesmen of democracy 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 of equality.

From the beginning, ho\vcvcr, the inajor obstacle to the gro\vth of the university \vas the lack of buildings. The different colleges \Vere therefore scattered on various campuses.

C lass officers \Vere elected, and class socials \Vere held. 1'"here \Vere \vcckly convocations, lectures, discussions, and progra1ns of literary and musical interest.

In 1948, University President Bienvenido Gonzales, with foll support from Philippine President Elpidio Q\iirino, rransferred 1nosr of the college,s to rhc sprawling 493-hectare main campus in Diliman, Qi1ezon City.

Today, U.P. lists 55 different colleges, schools, instirures-, and centers, inclusive of an elementary school, a preparatory school, two high schools, plus branches in Baguio, Cebu, Iloilo, Los Banos, Davao and Tacloban. Many of these units have been shaped by "accidents of histori' such as the College of Veterinary Medicine, which was orga1fr«d to combat an epidemic of rindcrpcst in 1908, or the Inscinite of Economic Development Research, which was an offshoot of President Ramon Magsaysay's Stace of the Nation address in 1956.
