Batavia, the residence of the Government of Netherlands-India and the capital of the "provincie" West-Javá, is situated in 106° 48′ E. longitude and 6° 7′ S. latitude. The old city is built in the ancient Dutch style and was till the beginning of the 19th century surrounded by fortifications, which have since been demolished. It has always been unhealthy. In 1699 the unfavourable conditions were greatly increased by an eruption of Mount Salak, masses of mud and sand being washed up by the river Tjiliwong, so that drainage became, very difficult. On account of this unhealthy condition only very few Europeans remain day and night in the old city. The fine large houses are employed for offices and godowns, and in the afternoon, when business is finished, most of the Europeans retire to the new town, which is situated south of the old city and built in modern style. Broad roads and spacious squares and nice bungalows surrounded by gardens form there a desirable place. It was, Marshall Daendels who, in the first years of last century, began to build the new town with the construction of barracks and the palace that was designed to be the residence of the Governor-General, but has never been used as such. It is now utilised for Government The palace is situated on the eastside of the Waterloo Square, where are

offices.

BATAVIA AND WELTEVREDEN

to be seen a monument of the battle of Waterloo, another monument to General Michiels, and a bronze statue of Jan Pieterszoon Coen, which was unveiled when the 250 years' existence of Batavia was celebrated. On the right and left of the palace are Supreme Court and Military Club

the Waterlooplein is another and larger square Concordia. At a short distance from

the Koningsplein, each side of which is one kilometre long. The square is surrounded by elegant comfortable houses, the residences of the higher officials and wealthy merchants. There is also a fine church, Willemskerk, near the railway station, and the museum of the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences.

The old city and the new are connected by three railways, two train ways, and wide roads for carriages Different Banks and Banking Corporations have offices at Batavia viz The Netherlands Trading Society (Nederlandsche Handel Maatschappij), Netherlands-India Commercial Bank (Nederlandsch Indische Handelsbank), and the Netherlands India Discount Company (Nederlandsch Indische Escompto Mij). There are also agencies of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, of the International Banking Corporation, of the Taiwan Bauk, Ltd., of the Yokohama Specie Bank, and of the Mercantile Bank of India, Dtd.;

The population of Batavia consisted on October, 7th 1930, of 31,340. Europeans 71,867 Chinese, 6,399 foreign Orientals, and 327,837 natives; total 437,433.

BUITENZORG

The usual residence of the Governor-General is at Buitenzorg, at a distance of nearly one hour by railway from Batavia. The botanical gardens near the palace of the Governor General were made, in 1817, and are well known not only for their beautiful arrangement, but especially for the great services rendered to science and agriculture under the management of the eminent directors, Teysmann, Dr. Scheffer, and Prof. Dr. Treub, All experiments for the introduction of exotic plants into Netherlands-India are made here, with the result that many useful plants from foreign countries are reared and flourish in Java as in their native soil.

SOURABAYA

Sourabaya is the capital of the "Provincie" Oost-Java, in the island of Java, and is advantageously situated for commercial purposes on the Madura Strait, directly opposite the island of Madura. The second largest city on the island, it is the principal centre of Java's commercial activities. It is also the naval headquarters of the Netherlands India. Among its principal buildings are a fine Government house, ja naval arsenal, several shipbuilding yards and a naval flying-base.

Sourabaya's position is naturally protected and it lies on the low alluvial delta of the Kali Mas river which empties into the Madura strait. This strait is the narrow division between the island of Java and that of Madura. Sourabaya, therefore, is the outlet in a trade way for exceptionally rich districts. It has been pointed out else- where that Java is naturally divided into three producing districts, each of which, while yielding much the same products, yields a different grade. This is due to cliinate as well as to soil. Much of the soil of Java is of volcanic origin and therefore exceedingly rich in deposits of a nutritive value. The eastern portion of the island, of which Sourabaya is the seaport proper, contains about 2,000 square miles of agricultural land, most of which has been under cultivation for many years. About 71 per cent. of the population is agricultural. Among the foreigners the Chinese play an important. part. In 1934 there were 27,234 Europeans, 47,175 foreign Orientals, 265,872 natives; total 340,281.

The climate is typically tropical there being only three quarter of an hour's difference between the longest and the shortest day. The climate, however, shows one marked difference from that of other tropical regions for the influence of the sea and mountain-breezes moderates the heat during the day and prevents too fast cooling-. off at night. The pressure is constant with a mean temperature of 80 F. maximum 95% F. and a rainfall of 130 inches. The wet season covers the period from November to January, the dry one from May to August.

Sourabaya is extremely fortunate in point of shipping, thanks largely to its geo- graphical position. Besides a modern, well equipped harbour, Sourabaya is provided with an excellent and safe roadstead. The entrance to the roads is 1,500 feet In width at the west, and the depth of water at low tide is 22 feet. At the East entrance, which widens to the open sea, the depth is about 16 feet and in the roads about 442 feet. Since 1910 very important works, such as several quays, warehouses, etc, have been constructed.

SEMARANG

Semarang, the capital of the "Provincie" Midden Java is situated in 110° 25′ E. Longtitude and 6 L. Latitude. The population of Semarang numbered in 1930 121577 Europeans, 29,780 foreign Orientals, and 175,418 nativės; total 217,575. The city may be divided in two parts, the old part situated near the coast consisting principally of a native population, and a district a little higher up inhabited mostly by Europeans. whilst there is also an attractive suburb called Tjandi situated on the hills about 500 feet above sea level, which lies some two miles to the South of the town. Situated in Bodjong which is the main street running through the town are the Courts of Justice various Government Offices and the principal European shops.

The port of Semarang is an open roadstead, but as fine weather usually prevails loading is only interrupted on a very few days in the year.

Railway facilities are good and extend to Sourabaya, Batavia and Soerakarta from whence they link, up with the main line through the Island. There are also ligh railways to the up country districts; whilst the main motor roads are remarkably good! Semarang also possesses an up-to-date aerodrome.

Padang, the capital of the West Coast of Sumatra, is situated 100 deg. 20 min. 30 sec. E. longitude and 59 min. 30 sec. S. latitude. The population, numbered 51,976 of whom 2,624 (1,313 males, 1,309 female) Europeans, 40,694 (23.084 male, 17,610 female) Natives, 7,212 (3,945 male, 3,259 female) Chinese, 1,456 (753 male, 703 female) other foreign Orientals according to Census, 7th of October, 1930. Padang has a splendid natural harbour, the "Emmahaven," with up to date wharfage facilities. The place is an important market for Import and Export articles. The produce of the West Coast, such as coffee, copra, cassia-vera, rattan, gum damar, rubber, hides, nutmegs, mace, cloves, etc., are shipped to the different ports of the world. The beautiful highlands, with the centre Fort de Kock, offer plenty of opportunities for walking and motoring trips amidst most gorgeous scenery. Padang is one of the healthiest places on the Coast, land and sea breezes contributing materially to lower the temperature. Owing to the absence of monsoons no division of the year into a dry and a wet season can be made, the rainfall being more or less equally divided over the whole year. However June and July are considered to be the dry period.

Padang is now linked up with Medan-Deli on the North East coast by an excellent motor road which passes through a great variety of primeval and beautiful scenery. Comfortable hotels and rest houses are distributed along this 850 kilometer length of road, so that the journey is warranted free from hardship.

Within short, Padang will be an aerial port so that tourists will be enabled to enjoy a birds-eye view of this richly verdured tropical island. Padang has two good hotels and a Rotary Club.

MACASSAR

Macassar, the capital of the "gouvernement" Celebes and Dependencies, is situated 119° 24′ E. longitude and 5 8 S. latitude. The population numbered in the end of 1933 about 74,700, of whom 4,200 were Europeans, 54,000 natives, 16,000 Chinese and 500 foreign. Orientals. These figures do not include the floating population of native coolies working in the docks.

As the principal centre of trade in the north-eastern part of the Archipelago, the place has great importance as a transit port. There is an old wharf 510 metres long (the Wilhelminakade), with custom-houses and godowns for general use and a new concrete quay about 1,400 metres in length (the Julianakade), where the steamship companies have their own waterfront, godowns and offices. The Southern end of the waterfront is connected by a highway, several kilometres long, with the business quarters and warehouses. A breakwater 2,700 metres long protects the harbour from rough seas. Macassar has been closed as a free port since August, 1906. The town is nicely built. A fine thoroughfare, lined with tamarind trees, traverses the principal part, where the Government House and other public buildings are situated, and leads on both sides to large grass-covered squares-the Koningsplein and Kerkplein. A busi- ness centre consists of Passar Street, Wilhelminakade and Julianakade. The pleasan- test living quarters are General van Daalen weg and Hospitaalweg, where houses with colonnades give the impression of a town in southern Europe. Around the European settlement the natives' have made their villages. The surrounding country is low and marshy, covered with rice-fields and kampongs. The mountains, with the Peak of Bonthain in the distance, afford a fine spectacle, especially in the evening, when they are not covered by the fogs that rise from the plains. Beautiful sunsets are to be seen every night from the Harbourmaster's landing-stage.

The city of Macassar is administered by a Municipal Council with a Burgomaster as president. The Council has 17 members (10 of European origin, 5 Natives of Macas- sar, and 2 Chinese), Technical affairs, grounds and the public sanitary service are managed, under the supervision of the Municipal Council, by an Engineer Director of Municipal public works (Ingenieur-Directeur Gemeentewerken). The municipal gas plant is managed by a Director (Directeur der Gemeente-Gasfabriek) under the supervision of the Gasworks Committee, nominated by the Municipal Council. The electric lighting plant is in the hands of the Ned. Indische Gas-Maatschappy.

The harbour (Government property) has been constructed at a cost of about twelve million guilders (£1,300,000) and is administered by a Harbour Board (Commissie van Bijstand) with the Engineer Harbour-Director (Directeur der Haven) as President, under the supervision of the Department of Public Works at Batavia. Marine and shipping affairs are managed in collaboration with the Harbourmaster, and pilots are compulsory.

THE EAST COAST OF SUMATRA

This part of the East Coast of the Island of Sumatra is situated between the Government of Acheen and its Dependencies in the north, the Straits of Malacca in the east, Indragiri (a part of the Residency of Riouw and its Dependencies) in the south, and the Residency of Sumatra's West Coast and of Tapanoeli in the west. It includes a number of States, each of which, under control of the Governor, is ruled by a body known as the "Inlandsche Zelfbestuur", consisting of the Sultan, and his "Rijksgrooten". Tho country is administered by a Governor, 6 Assistant-Residents, 19 Controllers (incl. Gezaghebbers) and 3 Assistant-Controllers. Justice is dispensed by the Court of Justice at Medan, the Landraad of Medan, Bindjei, Tandjung Balei, Tebing Tinggi and Bengkalis, the Residentiegerechten of Medan, Bindjei, Tandjoeng Balei and Bengkalis, the Magistrates, the Landgerechten, and by native Courts or Karapatan. The staple industry of the country is agriculture, and, this being dependent upon imported labour (Javanese and Chinese), the labour ques tion is carefully guarded by a special ordinances. The employer must house his people properly, provide them with medical attendance and food when sick, and monthly payments are compulsory. The question of indentured labour has received great attention in the recent past, resulting in a new Coolie Ordinance which calls for a progressive decline in the proportion of contract coolies to the total labour force employed by estates. At the end of 1933, 94.14% of the labour was free.

The supremacy of the Dutch Government is based upon political treaties with each of the Princes, in whose hands is left the jurisdiction over their own subjects except so far as relates to the infliction of the death penalty and banishment, and the disposal of land or landed property. Land contracts with Europeans, while made between the ruling prince and the concessionaire, are subject to the approval of the Governor. Mining contracts require the approval of the Governor-General of the Netherland- Indies. In all the States the Dutch Government has bought the right to collect the customs duties and the ordinary revenues. Land revenue, collected by Government officials, is at the disposal of the native rulers and his chiefs. The best known of the States is Deli, where tobacco planting was first introduced, and by which name the whole of the East Coast province is, sometimes designated. Deli, Langkat, Serdang and other tobacco-growing districts, are celebrated throughout the world for their fine silky tobacco leaf, which is specially suited for the outside wrappers of cigars, being at once light in weight and elastic and strong in texture. Next to tobacco, the cultivation of rubber (Hevea Brasiliensis) was developed though it has been con- siderably restricted in recent years. There are also important plantations of tea, palm-oil and hemp.

Very important, also, is the export of fish from Bagan Si Api Apito Singapore and Java.

There is also a considerable export of timber from the islands near Bengkalis to Singapore. The production of paddy, though considerable, falls short of the demand by many thousand bags, which are mostly imported from British India and the Straits Settlements. An important oil industry exists in the north of the district of Pangkalan Brandon. The production is in the hands of the Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij. Almost all necessaries of live have to be imported, and a brisk trade between Java, the Straits Settlements, Europe and the East Coast is the consequence.

Medan (Deli), the residence of the principal civil and military officials, is a pleasant little town, laid out in modern style, and administered by a Municipality. It is well provided with schools and hospitals. In the town five European banking corporations -the Javabank, the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, the Nederlandsche Handels Maatschappij, the Nederlandsch-Indische Handelsbank, the Nederlandsch Indisch Escompto Maatschappij have their branches, and there is also one Chinese bank.

There are two hotels (Hotel de Boer and Grand Hotel), a Social Club (Witte Societeit), Racing, Golf and Tennis clubs; also numerous houses of business, Chinesejaja, Japanese, Indian, Malay, Bombay and Tamil shops, etc.

THE EAST COAST OF SUMATRA

The port of Belawan Deli, at the mouth of the Belawan River, is in communication with Medan by road and railway, the lines of which extend a long distance up country, giving also communication via Tandjoeng Poera and Pangkalan Brandan with Koeta Radja (Atcheen) and to the south via Tebing Tinggi, with Tandjoeng Balei (Asahan), Koeta Penang and, via Pematang Siantar, to the west with Sibolga, Fort de Koek, Padang, Korintji. Improvements and extensions to the road system are being carried out by degrees. Other important ports are those of Pangkalan Brandan, Tandjoeng. Poera, Tandjoeng Balei, Bengkalis, Bagan Si Api Api and Laboean Bilik and Pakan- baroe. There are Wireless Stations at Medan, Bengkalis and Bagan Si Api-Api. Brastagi and Prapat, the former nearly 5,000 feet above the sea level and the latter on the shores of the Toba Lake are popular holiday resorts with modern hotels where golf, bathing and riding may be enjoyed. At the last census (1930) the East Coast of Sumatra had a population of 1,673,623, Medan being credited with approximately 75,000.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Named in honour of PHILIP II, King of Spain

The Philippine Islands have been picturesquely described as 'a magnificent rosary of glowing islands that nature has hung about the heaving bosom of the warm Pacific.' The archipelago is bounded on the north and west by the China Sea, on the east by the Pacific Ocean, and on the south by the Celebes and Sulu Seas. The land area is 115.000 square miles, while the land and sea area embraced within the treaty boundaries is 833,000 square miles, which is greater than the land and water area of Great Britain and Ireland. The Philippines extend from North to South between 5 and 22 North Latitude, and from East to West between 117 and 127 East Longitude, or approximately 1200 miles from North to South, and 700 miles from East to West.

AREA AND POPULATION

The total area of the Philippine Islands is 114,400 square miles. This is larger than the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware put together.

The Philippine Archipelago is composed of 7,083 islands, of which 2,441 are named and 4,642 are not. There are 11 important islands, each of which has an area of more than 1,000 square miles. Luzon has an area of 40,814 square miles; Mindanao 38,012; Samar, 5,124; Negros, 4,903; Palawan, 4,500; Panay, 4,448; Mindoro, 3,794; Leyte 2,799; Cebu, 1,695; Bohol, 1,534; and Masbate, 1,255.

The Archipelago is divided into three great groups of islands designated as Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Luzon includes the provinces of Abra, Albay, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Cagayan, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Cavite, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Isabela, Laguna, La Union, Mountain Province, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Rizal, Sorsogon, Tarlac, Tayabas and Zambales, and the island-provinces of Batanes, Marinduque, Masbate and Mindoro. The second group, the Visayas, is made up of the provinces of Antique, Capiz and Iloilo, on the island of Panay; Occidental Negros and Oriental Negros, on the island of Negros; and the individual island-provinces of Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Romblon, Samar and Palawan The third group, Mindanao, is made up of the provinces of Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Davao, Lanao, Misamis, Surigao, Zamboanga, and a cluster of islands forming the province of Sulu.

According to the Philippine Census of 1918, the total population was 10,314,310 chiefly of the Malay race, 91 per cent. of whom were Christians receiving the benefits of the blending of the Oriental, the Spanish, and the American civilizations. This part of the population included 9,428,291 Filipinos; 43,802 Chinese: 5,774 Americans; 7,806 Japanese; 3,945 Spaniards; 1,140 English; 286 Germans; 182 French; 125 Swiss; and 977 of other nationalities. Only 932,953, or 9.4 per cent., were non-Christians and pagans, but even these are now fast taking advantage of the all-pervading system of public schools.

PHYSICAL FEATURES AND CLIMATE

The coastline includes many fertile coastal plains. Added to these are the Central Plain, the Cagayan and Bicol Valleys of Luzon; the Central Plain of Panay; and the Agusan and Cotabato Valleys of Mindanao. Most of the large islands are crossed by well-defined ranges, running, as a rule, in a north and south direction; Mount Apo, in south-eastern Mindanao, is the highest peak, with an altitude of 9,610 feet.

The part of the archipelago north of the islands of Mindanao and Sulu comes within the typhoon area and violent storms are of frequent occurrence during the rainy season July to September inclusive.

The climate in the lowlands is tropical, but compared with most other tropical countries it is neither unhealthful nor unpleasantly hot, even to people born in the temperate climes. At certain seasons of the year humidity in the atmosphere makes the heat trying, but the thermometer seldom registers the temperatures not uncom-

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

monly experienced in New York, Washington, or Tokyo in the height of summer. Moreover the periods of extreme heat and extreme humidity, in the Philippines, do not coincide. The hot and dry season occurs in the greater part of the islands during the period March to May, while the heavy rains fall between June and September. Speaking in general the heat in most parts of the islands is never extreme, and sun- stroke is so rare as to be almost unheard of. Due to the fact that the islands are con- stantly fanned by refreshing sea breezes, the nights are pleasantly cool. In the higher altitudes the climate is temperate, and at times wintry. At the mountain resort of Baguio, 180 miles north of Manila, log fires are to be found burning in the living rooms of most homesides during the greater part of the year.

The northern part of the archipelago lies within the typhoon area, and violent storms which usually have their origin in the Pacific, east of the Philippines not infrequently sweep over the islands leaving destruction in their wake. Timely warning of the approach of a typhoon is invariably published by the Weather Bureau of Manila, so that every possible precaution may be taken to prevent unnecessary loss of life and destruction of property.

The islands are at times subject to great seismic and volcanic activity. Of the active volcanoea, Mayon, in the province of Albay, is noteworthy because of its symmetrical shape, which is an almost perfeet cone. This volcano has broken forth in destructive eruption on several occasions within recent years. During the eruption of 1900 lava flowed from its crater to the sea, a distance of nearly ten miles. In January, 1911, Taal Volcano, on a small island in the middle of Lake Taal, 40 miles south of Manila, burst forth with titanic violence, causing great loss of life and annihilating a dozen villages. Other important active volcanoes are Canlaon in Negros, Apo in Mindanao, Claro Babuan on a small island north of Luzon, and Catarinan on the island of Camiguin. This volcano made its first appearance in 1856 as a column of smoke between two rocks. In the following year it underwent violent eruption, attended by earthquakes, and by 1860 it had attained an elevation of 700 feet. nearly all the islands of the archipelago extinct volcanoes exist.

The Bureau of Health is the Government branch in charge of enforcing measures and promulgating rules and regulation for the promotion and protection of public health and for the maintenance of general sanitary conditions. Its jurisdiction extends to all the cities, towns and barrios of the Islands. Due to its work, there has been noticeable general health improvement all over the archipelago during the past two decades. The system of sanitation actually enforced in the Philippine Islands is conceded to be on a par with that of any other civilized country in the world. The people of the Philippines are beginning to realize the advantages of a well-organized and nation-wide system of sanitation. The old attitude of distrust towards sanitary rules in the country has disappeared; the people to-day are exerting all their energies toward promoting the gospel of clean and healthy living. Hospitals are fast increas-, ing throughout the Islands, and every day they are gaining ground in the estimation of the people. In Manila, the largest and one of the most up-to-date among the hospitals is the Philippine General Hospital. There are 10 hospitals in the ctiy of Manila and 21 in the provinces. Activities related to child welfare in general are looked after by the Bureau of Public Welfare. The Board of Pharmaceutical Examiners and Inspectors has the immediate supervision and control of all pharmacies, drug-stores, dispensaries and similar establishments, both private and public, in the Philippines.

The death rate among the European and American residents of Manila is said to be lower than the death rate in New York or Chicago. This may be accounted for, however, by the fact that a majority of such residents do not establish themselves in the islands until they have reached adult age, and they almost invariably return to their more temperate homeland as they approach the declining years. Moreover, as a rule, only the physically fit venture to leave their own country for the purpose of carving out careers for themselves overseas. Ideal health resorts are found in the highlands.i such as Baguio in the Mountain Province, (5000 feet above sea level), and the settlements in the vicinity of Lake Lanao, in Mindanao. The medicinal qualities of the waters of Sibul Springs, Los Baños, Klondyke's (on the Benguet) road, and many other hot or mineral springs, are known to be of great value.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

In his trip around the world, Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese, in the service of Spain, discovered the Philippine Islands on March 16th, 1521. Spain, claiming the country, colonized it in 1565, when Legaspi, the first Governor of the Philippines, founded the first Spanish settlement in Cebu. The city of Manila was founded on June 24th, 1571.

The early history of the Philippines is a record of continual trouble. Conflicts. between the civil and ecclesiastical authorities led to internal contentions, while both Portugal and the Netherlands coveted these rich possessions and liarassed the Spaniards. In 1606 the Dutch blockaded the ports with five ships, which were, however, destroyed by the Spanish fleet. Attacks were also made at different points by powerful Chinese piratical fleets. The most celebrated of these was the invasion by Li Ma Hong, who with 2,000 men landed at Manila in 1574, but was defeated and driven out by the Spaniards and natives, under the leadership of Juan de Salcedo. In 1762 the capital was taken by the English, the private property of the inhabitants being saved from plunder on the condition of the payment of a ransom of £1,000,000, half of which was paid in money and the other half in bills upon the Spanish Treasury. In the meantime, however, peace had been concluded, and the islands were restored to Spain, payment of the balance of the indemnity not being insisted upon.

The Filipinos were given representation in the Spanish Cortes in 1810. galleon trade instituted by the Spanish Government ending in 1815. The port of Manila was opened to the commerce of the world in 1830. With the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, direct mail service with Spain was inaugurated and railroads and telegraphs were introduced into the Islands. Attempts to throw off the Spanish yoke were made in 1822, 1841, 1842, 1872 and 1896. On June 12th, 1897, Philippine Inde- pendence was proclaimed in Cavite, and the Philippine flag was officially unfurled.. Upon the outbreak of hostilities between the United States and Spain in 1898, the Insurgents offered to co-operate with the former. The offer was accepted with the result that while the Americans took and held the city of Manila, the Insurgents overthrew Spanish authority throughout the remainder of the Island of Luzon and established a government of their own with General Aguinaldo as Dictator. Com- modore Dewey sank the Spanish squadron in Manila Bay on May 1st, 1898. The Philippine Republic was established on January 23rd, 1899. The Treaty of Paris, providing for the cession of the Philippine Islands to the United States, was ratified by the Senate of the United States on February 6th, 1899. Civil government was established in the Islands on July 4th, 1901. The first Philippine Assembly was inaugurated on October 16th, 1907. The new Philippine Autonomy Act, commonly known as the Jones Law, came into force on August 29th, 1916. To-day, with the exception of the Governor-General, and the Vice-Governor, the administration of the internal affairs of the country is practically in the hands of the Filipinos.

GOVERNMENT

The government of the Philippine Islands is administered through three separate and co-ordinate branches-the executive, legislative, and judicial.

The Governor-General is the chief executive of the Islands and represents the sovereign power of the United States. He is appointed by the President of the United States by and with the advice and consent of the United States Senate. Under him are the secretaries of six executive departments-the Department of the Interior and Labour, the Department of Public Instruction, the Department of Finance, the Department of Justice. the Department of Agriculture and Commerce and the Department of Public Works and Communications. With the exception of the Vice- Governor, who is appointed in the same way as the Governor-General and is at the same time Secretary of Public Instruction, all the other secretaries are Filipinos. Under each executive department are the different bureaus of the Government.

The Philippine legislative body is composed of two Houses-the Senate and the House of Representatives. There are in all 93 representatives and 24 senators, ré- presenting the City of Manila and the 48 provinces of the archipelago, all of whom are elected by popular vote with the exception of nine representatives and two senators who are appointed by the Governor-General to represent the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, Mountain Province, Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Davao,

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Lanao, Sulu and Zamboanga. The number of registered voters is approximately a million.

The provincial and municipal governments are within the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior and Labour. The Executive Bureau, through which the former Department of the Interior, now Department of the Interior and Labour, exercised administrative control and supervision, was abolished effective 1933, and the thirty-eight regularly organized provinces and two so-called special provinces of Batanes and Palawan are now directly supervised by the Department of the Interior and Labour. Through the Bureau of non-Christian Tribes, the Department of the Interior and Labour exercises its administrative control and surpervision over nine specially organized provinces. The chief executive in each province is a provincial governor, who is elected by popular suffrage except in five specially organized provinces under the Bureau of non-Christian Tribes, namely, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Lanao, Mountain Province and Sulu, where he is appointed by the Governor- General subject to confirmation by the Philippine Senate. With the provincial governor are two other members of the provincial board, which constitutes the legislative branch of the provincial government. In all the regularly organized provinces as well as in the two special provinces of Batanes and Palawan the two members of the board are elected by popular vote. In each of the specially organized provinces under the Bureau of non-Christian Tribes, the provincial board is made up of the provincial governor, the provincial treasurer or the provincial secretary- treasurer (who is an appointive official), and a third member who, in the case of the provinces of Agusan, Davao, Nueva Vizcaya, and Zamboanga, is elected by popular vote, and in the case of the provinces of Bukidnon, Cotabato, Lanao, Mountain Province, and Sulu, is elected by the votes of the councilors and vice-presidents of the municipalities and municipal districts. The municipal president is the chief executive in each town or municipality and the local legislative branch is a municipal council composed of the president, the vice-president, and from four to eight councillors, depending upon the classification of the municipality, except in the case of the municipalities under the Bureau of non-Christian Tribes whose number depend upon the number of the barrios in the municipality. The president, the vice-president, and the councillors are all elected by popular vote. In the special provinces under the B.N.C.T. there are still some municipalities with appointive presidents, but the vice-presidents and councillors are elective.

The Philippine judiciary system consists of the Supreme Court, as the highest tribunal; a Court of First Instance for each judicial district, except the ninth district, which has five judges, the same covering the city of Manila; the Municipal Courts of Manila and Baguio; and a Justice of the Peace court for each municipality. The Supreme Court is composed of one chief justice and ten associate justices, all of whom are appointed by the President of the United States with the consent of the United States Senate. The Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction over the Courts of First Instance. An appeal lies from the decision of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands to the Supreme Court of the United States in certain cases.

EDUCATION AND LITERACY

Public education in the Philippines is free, secular and co-educational, and the prin- cipal aim is to make the people socially proficient. As a means to this end, emphasis is placed upon the spread of literacy on the basis of a common language-English. The Bureau of Education maintains a complete system of public education. Public elementary and high schools are distributed throughout the Islands. Insular schools for special education are maintained. The enrolment of students in the public schools is increasing every year and now exeeds one million. Private schools, patterned after the public schools, besides the old Spanish schools and colleges which still survive, have sprung up in the Philippines in recent years. The enrolment in private school and h colleges is around 115,000. These schools offer primary, intermediate, secondary, collegiate, technical and vocation courses, and come under the supervision of the jer Department of Public Instruction. Practically all these offer instruction in English, and even the old Spanish schools and colleges have English as the medium of instruc tion. Upon graduating from the high schools, the students are admittel to higher 9. institutions of learning, among which are the University of the Philippines, established and maintained by the Philippine Government, the University of Santo Tomas, the Colegio de San Juan de Latran, the National University, and the University of Manila.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

English and Spanish are both used as official languages and are widely spoken in the Islands. The English language is becoming the dominant language. There are six established native dialects with some printed literature, namely, the Tagalog, Visayan, Ilocano, Bicol, Pangasinan and Pampangan.

Not including the various dialects of the Mohammedans of Mindanao and Sulu, or of the Mountain tribes of Northern Luzon, or of various tribes of Pajans.

AGRICULTURE AND MINERALS

Cane Sugar is by far the most important product of the Islands. Extensive areas of cane are under cultivation in Negros, Panay, Central Luzon, Cebu, Mindanao and Leyte, and modern mills and refineries have been established, in recent years, in thees localities.

The Philippine Islands is an agricultural country. The people depend chiefly on domestic agricultural products for their livelihood, and approximately 88 per cent. of the total exports of the Islands is made up of the produce of the farms. The soil is fertile to a degree, being for the most part volcanic in origin and exceedingly rich in all varieties of sedimentary deposits. The total area of cultivated lands in the Philip- pines at the present time is estimated at 6,296,178 hectares, or 20 per cent. of the entire area of the country.

Rice is the staple food-product of the inhabitants of the Islands. It is their most widely cultivated crop. The area devoted to its cultivation is nearly two million hectares. Considerable quantities of this cereal, however, are still imported, chiefly from French Indo-China. Through the efforts of the Bureau of Plant Industry local farmers are realizing the advantages of scientific methods in rice farming. Seed selection is given due emphasis. Several irrigation systems are now completed, many more are in process of construction, and others are being projected. This is bound in the near future to do away with the ravages of droughts, which are of periodical occurrence, and at the same time make feasible the growing of two or three crops a year in the rice sections of the archipelago. The extension of cultivated areas is also receiving due attention from the Government and the local farmers.

Manila hemp, which the Philippines supplies to the world as first-class cordage material, is produced from the leaf stalks of the Abaca plant thriving extensively in the Islands only. The fibre is also used for making binder twine, and from the old disintegrated Manila ropes is made the well-known and much-used Manila paper. the Philippines, Abaca fibre is extensively used in the manufacture of cloth. In the making of baskets, slippers, mats and other articles, the fibre has been tried with excellent results. Within the last few years a very important use for the fibre has been found in the manufacture of hats.

Coconut palms are grown extensively and copra and vegetable oil constitute a considerable source of wealth. Tobacco is grown successfully in the fertile valleys especially of Cagayan river, and is exported to the United States and Spain in the form of Cigars and leaf tobacco. The best and choicest class is raised in the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela in northern Luzon.

Sugar-cane thrives very well, principally in the island of Negros. The most noteworthy feature or sugar-cane growing and sugar manufacturing is the increase in the number of sugar centrals during recent years. The extension of the cultivated area and the introduction of tractors and other farm machinery of good varieties, use of fertilizers and proper culture have largely brought about the increase in production.

Among the other crops with great agricultural possibilities are maguey, sisal, corn, coffee, rubber, kapok, cacao, cassava, peanut, vegetables and fruits. Cattle-raising as an agricultural pursuit is also very promising.

Gold continues to be the barometer of mining activities in the Philippine Islands. Its production has been increasing annually until in 1932 the total output has reached approximately 10,500,000 pesos. This production has placed the Philippines as the fourth greatest gold producing area under the United States flag. In quarts mining, the Benguet and Masbate districts have been consistent producers for a number of years. At present the Benguet district produces about 95% of the total output of gold. The three great producing mines in order of their importance are the Benguet Con- solidated, the Balatoc, and the Itogon mines, all of which are located in Benguet. With other new mines that started milling during the early part of 1933, it is pre-

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

dicted that gold production during 1933 from lode mining alone will reach 14,000,000 pesos. In addition, there is a small production from placer operations and from desultory mining in other parts of the Islands.

With the present market price of gold, other districts are being prospected and companics are being organized to explore claims that show possibilities. Of the new districts that are being explored both for lode and placers the following may be mentioned: the Abra-Bontoc-Kalinga districts of the Mountain Province, the Ipo- Salacot districts of Bulacan, the Pantabangan-Peñaranda districts of Nueva Ecija, the San Nicolas district of Pangasinan, the Iponan-Cugman districts of Oriental Misamis, the Curuan district of Zamboanga, and the San Teodoro-Puerto Galera districts of Mindoro. Renewed activity is also reported in the Paracale-Mambulao district of Camarines Norte and in Suriago where the Tambis Gold Dredging Company has been working since it took up the interest of the Lianga Mines Limited in Hinatuan River. No silver mining is done in the islands, but silver is produced as a by-product of gold mining. Small quantity of platinum is also recovered in connection with placer operations.

The native furnaces of Bulacan continue to be the only source of iron production. Development of the chromite deposit in Camarines Sur is now being pushed to reach the production stage at an early date. Other metallic deposits worthy of considera- tion are the copper of Mankayan and Suyoc; chromite of Zambales and Pangasinan; iron of Surigao and Calam bayanga Island; manganese of Ilocos Norte and Masbate; and lead and zinc of Masbate and Marinduque.

Coal is being produced from Cebu, Mindanao and Batan. Two cement plants, one in Cebu and another in Binangonan, Rizal, manufacture Portland cement for export and for domestic consumptional Lime factories in Rizal, Tayabas and Iloilo produce quick and slack lime for use in sugar refineries. Exploratory drilling for petroleum in Bondoc peninsula encountered slight indications of petroleum and natural gas but the quantity was not sufficient for commercial exploitation. Small quantity of bituminous rock of Leyte is now being mined for road construction. Guano and phosphatic rock are also being produced from the deposits of Capiz, Pangasinan, Tayabas and other provinces.

Timber forests are found in all the principal islands of the archipelago, covering an area of about 65,476 sq. miles, or 57.21 per cent. of the total area. Not less than 53,352 sq. miles are commercial forests. These forests contain some of the finest timber in the world, especially for cabinet work. Many species of the Dipterocarp family arc used as substitute for mahogany and are sold in foreign markets as Philippine mahogany. Minor forest products such as rattan, oils, copal gum, tanbark, dyebark, and dyewood are abundant.

The Government owns more than 99 per cent. of all the standing timber of the Philippines, and the Bureau of Forestry has control over them. The public forests are not sold, but are developed under a license system. There are at present 107 sawmills, which are equipped with modern machinery fit to meet the big enterprise of the Islands.

FISHERIES

Fishing, until recently an undeveloped industry in the Philippines, is rapidly coming to the front. Although commerical fishing is largely in the hands of the Japanese each year sees a greater investment of Filipino and American capital.

The waters along the extensive coasts of the islands teem with common varieties of food-fishes. Among those found in commercial quantities are anchovies, sardines, silversides, mackerels, snappers, pampanos, tunas, sea-basses, mullets, milkfishes, barracudas, porgies and parrotfishes. The local market is under-supplied and con- siderable quantities of fish and fishery products are imported. With the more exten- sive use of modern fishing equipment and methods of transportation so that the in- terior towns can be supplied there will be a decrease in the imports of this character. The commereial canning of fish is now an established industry in the islands. Others sea-products found in the Philippine waters are shark-fins, sponges, trepang, pearls, and pearl-shells, top-shell and widow shells.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

MANUFACTURES AND INDUSTRIES

The Philippines is a prospective industrial field. The country has available raw materials such as Manila hemp, copra, leaf tobacco, lumber, shells, lumbang, nuts, castor beans, clay, limestone, bamboo, buntal, dye-woods and cassava for the different lines of manufactures and industries. Manila and a few other cities are centres of these industrial activities. However, some of the big establishments such as sugar centrals, rice and lumber mills are found in localities nearest the sources of materials.

The production of coconut oil constitutes one of the principal local industries. The first modern coconut oil mill was built in 1911. The world-war gave an im- petus to the industry, thereby placing coconut oil at the top of the list of Philippine exports for 1919. Sugar production, however, is now the most important industry. The first sugar central in the Philippines was established in 1910. Many other centrals and improved machinery were then installed in almost all the leading sugar sections of the Islands. Consequently, after 1910 a considerable increase in the sugar exports of the Islands was noted. Early in 1920 more than 30 sugar centrals with a total daily output of over 20,000 tons of centrifugal sugar were in actual operation. Manila cigars and cigarettes are the output of Philippine cigar factories. Aromatic cigarettes made from Virginian leaf tobacco locally raised or imported are now manufactured in the Philippines. The rope and hemp-braid factories are yearly turning out finished products to the value of millions of pesos. Within recent years, rice milling has become a principal local industry. To-day there are more than 460 rice mills, with a maximum daily capacity of 50,000 cavanes, distributed throughout the archipelago.

Among the local household industries, mention may be made of weaving, embroi- dery and hat-making. The output of the simple native looms, which are found in practically every household in the provinces where weaving is done, increased as the industry found an ever-widening local market. The most important of these native cloths manufactured are the "sinamay" and the "abatex," both of which are made mostly from the abaca fibre, the "piña" made from the pineapple fibre, the "jusi" made from imported gummed spun silk fibres in threads inixed with mercerized cotton or the native abaca, piña and maguey fibres, and the "Abel Iloco or Ilocano cloth manufactured in the Iloco provinces from both native and imported cotton threads. Philippine hand-made embroideries are of cotton and linen; no silk is used. The materials chiefly used in the making of Philippine embroideries are nainsooks, batiste, voile, georgette, crepe de chine and net-cotton. These materials are imported form the United States. The principal articles of embroideries made are lingerie, children's clothes, handkerchiefs, table cloths and underwear of various classes, which are for the most part prepared according to orders received from the United States. The work done is of a very good grade and brings good prices. On account of the abundance of suitable local materials for hat-making and the excellent prices offered for Philippine hats, the manufacture of hats is a profitable industry. Philippine hats are made from native materials such as bamboo, buntal, buri, sabutan and pandan.

The other industries of the Islands worth mentioning include shipbuilding, foun- dries and machine shops the making of shoes and slippers desicatted cocoanut, cement, refined sugar, pearl buttons, cutch, canned pineapple, wooden and wicker furniture, soap, vegetable lard, margarine, butter, starch, paint, leather, toilet articles and other pharmaceutical preparations, matches, salt and pots, besides the aerated water and mineral water factories. Among the potential industries are paper making, gold and chromite mining, glass, perfume, alcohol distilleries and beer, wine and liquor factories, caustic soda, rug and coir mat industries.

THE LABOUR MOVEMENT

The economic development of the Philippines has brought in its train the formation of many trade unions, organizations and mutual benefit societies intended for the protection and advancement of labour's interests and for mutual help. The first Jabour organization established in the Islands was "Union Obrera Democratica (Democratic Labour Union) on February 2nd, 1902, in the city of Manila. Subsequently, the formation of labour organizations was given greater impetus as the workers were stimulated by the success attained in dealing collectively with their employers in their demand for higher wages and better working conditions, until at the end of 1923 a

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

total of 120 such organizations with a paid membership of 150,000 were in existence in the whole Archipelago, the majority of them being located in the city of Manila. In the Philippines there are three national labour organizations controlling the majority of trade unions and other organizations, viz., Congreso Obrero de Filipinas (Labour Congress of the Philippines), Federacion del Trabajo de Filipinas (Federation of Labour of the Philippines) and the National Confederation of Tenants and Farm Labourers of the Philippines.

TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS

The bulk of overseas shipinents are made from the port of Manila, although considerable business is handled, direct, through Cebu, Iloilo, Zamboanga, and Davao, which, with Jolo and Legaspi, are the other ports of entry.

While all of the open

ports have good harbours, only Manila, Cebu and Iloilo have wharfage for deep-draft vessels. At Legaspi and Davao, deep draft berths are under construction; Zamboanga can accommodate vessels drawing up to 28 feet; and Jolo has a small wharf effording. the same depth. Nearly a thousand vessels are now operated in the coast wise trade.

Manila, the capital and chief port of the Islands, is on the largest bay in the Orient. The harbour at the entrance of this bay is landlocked. The anchorage space for steamers is protected by a semi-circular breakwater within which is a basin large enough to accommodate all vessels of the size of the "Empress" liners. Regular steamship lines are maintained between Manila and Hongkong, China and Japan Ports, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, New York, Australian and European ports.

There are at present 1,272 kilometres of railroad car-lines in the Philippines. They are owned by two companies-the Manila Railroad Company, which is owned by the Government; and the Philippine Railway Company. În Manila and in the province of Rizal, electric car service is maintained by the Manila Electric Company, the total extent of its lines being 88 kilometres.

Next in importance to railways in the domestic transportation of the Islands are motor vehicles. During the year 1932, there were registered 41,585 motor vehicles of all classes. Many private individuals and companies authorized by the Public Service Commission are engaged in land transportation both for passengers and frieght.

Funds for highway construction and maintenance are provided for from the following sources: cedula or poll tax and a small percentage of the land tax, gasoline tax, motor vehicle tax and annual insular appropriations by the Philippine Legislature. The first systematic programme of road construction and maintenance in different parts! of the Islands was inaugurated in 1908 by ex-Governor-General Forbes, who was then Secretary of the Departwent of Commerce and Police. There are today 8,167 kilo- meters of hard surfaced roads, 4,279 kilometers of lightly surfaced roads and 2,218 kilometers of earth roads, making a total of 14,664 kilometers of roads.

The construction of good roads open to all kinds of traffic in different parts of the Islands has been properly attended to by the Philippine Government during the past 20 years.

There are at present two cable lines and one radio communication service in operation between the Philippines and foreign countries. Zamboanga is in radic communication with stations in North Borneo. The increased need for better and more extensive facilities for internal communication has been met by the rapid extension of telegraph and telephone lines, submarine cables, radio system and mail service.

In 1933, there were in operation 523 telegraph offices, including 85 radio station with 488 combined telegraph-telephone offices.

The chief mail distributing centre is Manila. provincial post offices in Luzon by electric cars, main ports in Visayas and Mindanao by steamers. service is in operation are Cebu and Panay.

From this point, mails are sent

trains and auto-busses and to th The other islands where mail trater

Experiments have been made recently with aviation as a factor in the mail ar passenger service, both domestic and foreign. Airplanes are at present operated und regular schedules between Manila and Baguio, between Manila and Cebu via Iloil and between Iloilo and the towns of Bacolod and La Carlota in Occidental Negros.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

BANKING AND COINAGE

Among the principal banking institutions doing business in the Islands, are the National City Bank of New York, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, the Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China, the Yokohama Specie Bank, the Philippine National Bank, the Peoples Bank and Trust Co., the China Banking Corporation, the Bank of the Philippine Islands, and the Philippine Trust Co.

The coins used in the Philippine Islands are of the following denominations:- Peso, one-half peso (50 centavos), peseta (20 centavos), media peseta (10 centavos), five centavos, and one centavo.

The Philippine Commission maintained this parity by passing the Gold Standard Act on October 10th, 1903. The new peso coined contains 20 grammes of silver, .800 fine; the 50 centavo piece contains 10 grammes of silver, .750 fine; 20-centavo piece, four grammes of silver, .750 fine; and the 10-centavo piece, two grammes of silver, .750 fine.

The paper money is issued in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 500 peso denominations. The Philippine peso is equivalent to fifty cents in United States currency.

The P200 denomination of paper money now in circulation in the Islands was formerly issued by the Bank of the Philippine Islands, but its issuance has been discontinued.

Manila, the capital and the largest city of the Philippines, is situated on the western side of the island of Luzon, at the mouth of the Pasig River, which practically divides it into two parts and empties into Manila Bay. The city is almost in the centre of the archipelago. It is distant two days by sea from Hongkong, four days from Nagasaki, five from Shanghai, and 17 to 28 days from San Francisco or Seattle, according to the varying speed of the different vessels on the run.

The city of Manila was founded by Legaspi on June 24th, 1571. The erection of the fortifications around the present Walled City (Intramuros) was begun about 1590. In 1645, 1863 and 1880 the city suffered considerable dainage from earthquakes. The first newspaper was published in Manila in 1811. The port was opened to the commerce of the world in 1834, and the railroad line to Dagupan was completed in 1891. War having been declared between the United States and Spain, the fleet of the former on May 1st, 1898, sailed into Manila Bay and totally destroyed the Spanish fleet, practically with no loss to the attacking side. Thereafter Manila was blockaded until August 13th, when, a military force having arrived, the Americans took possession of the city.

Manila is the leading centre of foreign and domestic commerce as well as the principal port of the Islands. The bulk of the imports and the exports of the country passes through this port. Foreign corporations engaged in business in the Islands have their main offices and storehouses in Manila, whence branches are established in other local trade centres.

The harbour of Manila is almost landlocked, and its deep anchorage basin is protected by a semi-circular stone breakwater. Four piers with modern cargo- handling equipment project into the harbour. The first is reserved for the use of the United States Army. The second, 600 feet long, is capable of stowing about 5,000 tons net. The third, which is 650 feet in length, has a stowing capacity of about 9,000 tons. The fourth pier has about four times the cargo capacity of the third and a berthing capacity sufficient to accommodate four of the largest type of ships at one time.

The mouth of the Pasig River is used as anchorage space for steamers and sailing vessels engaged in inter-island commerce. Here can be seen launches moving in and out, towing cascos loaded with cargoes from steamers in the bay or from the warehouses on the banks of the river. The esteros or estuaries provide additional transportation channels to different parts of the city.

Manila is the main terminal of the Manila Railroad Company, with lines from northern to southern parts of Luzon Several provincial roads enter the city, thereby making motor vehicle transportation feasible. Electric tramways run in the principal streets of the city and its suburbs.

The population of Manila, according to the Philippine census of 1918, was 285,306. Of this number, 259,437 were Filipinos, 17,760 Chinese, 2,916 Americans, 2,050 Spaniards, 1,612 Japanese, 664 British, 201 Germans, 121 French, 71 Swiss, and the rest of other nationalities. There were 20,379 people to the square mile.

The area of the city of Manila is 13.72 square miles. For all administrative and other municipal purposes the city has been divided into the following 14 districts: Tondo, San Nicolas, Binondo, Santa Cruz, Quiapo, San Miguel, Sampaloc Intramurose (Walled City), The Port, Ermita, Malate, Paco, Pandacan, and Santa Ana. Tondo ist inhabited by natives of the working class and is the most thoroughly Oriental. San Nicolas, Binondo, and Santa Cruz are the business districts; Intramuros, the extant example of a medieval town; while The Port with its piers, warehouses and other shipping facilities is the commercial Manila of the future. San Miguel, Ermita, and Malate are the residential districts.

The total length of the streets and roads in Manila is 240.97 kilometres. Some of these are wide and handsome avenues, of which the Luneta, Taft Avenue, Riza

Avenue, P. Burgos, Azcarraga, Isaac Peral, A. Bonifacio Drive, Katigbac Drive, and the Dewey Boulevard are the most notable. The width of the street varies from 10 to 15 metres, while that of Dewey Boulevard is 75 metres. Cassia, acacia, inabolo and other trees are found along the borders of many of the streets. The pav ing is mostly macadam with some asphalt, some wooden blocks and some cobbles. The Escolta in Binondo is the main business street, and in it most of the American and European stores and bazaars are found. The Rosario, another broad thoroughfare in Binondo, is occupied chiefly by Chinese shops and is a busy quarter. Rizal Avenue- is a growing business centre.

Among the parks, whose total area is 1,143,727.09 square metres, are the famous Luneta, Mehan Gardens, Plaza McKinley, Harrison Park, and Burnham Green. There are monuments to Dr. José Rizal, the foremost Filipino hero and martyr, on the Luneta; to Legaspi and Urdaneta, the soldier and the priest, respectively, who implanted Spanish sovereignty in the Islands, facing the north end of the Luneta; to Magallanes (Magellan), the discoverer of the Islands, in Magallanes Landing; and to Anda at the foot of A. Bonifacio Drive, Charles IV. in Plaza McKinley, Benavides in Plaza Santo Tomas, and Queen Isabela II, in Malate.

Foremost among the hotels is the Manila Hotel. Other hotels of importance are the Luneta Hotel, St. Anthony Hotel, Delmonico Hotel, Plaza Hotel, Oriente Hotel, La Palma de Mallorca Hotel, Bay View Hotel and Great Eastern Hotel. Of the important buildings, mention may be made of the Ayuntamiento, the Malacañang Palace, the University of the Philippines, University Club, Metropolitan Theatre, the Philippine Normal School, the Philippine School of Arts and Trades, the Bureau of Science, the Philippine General Hospital, the Army and Navy Club, Elks Club, the Y.M.C.A., the Masonic Temple, Pacific Building, Uy Chaco Building, Filipinas Building, and "El Hogar Filipino" Building. The total number of buildings in

Manila is in round numbers 10,000.

On account of their architecture and interior decorations, the churches in Manila are among the chief objects of interest. The largest is the Catholic Cathedral in Intramuros. The city has also charitable institutions, prominent among which are the Hospicio de San José, an orphan asylum and home for aged women; the School for the Deaf and Blind; the San Lazaro Hospital for the insane and those suffering from contagious diseases; the sanatoria of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society; the Government Orphanage for the care of orphan and destitute children; the Settlement House for the temporary shelter of destitute persons; and the American Guardian Association for destitute children of American and Filipino parentage.

Manila is the educational centre of the archipelago. The city has many schools, both public and private, and their number is increasing. Four schools for vocational education are maintained here by the Insular Government. The University of the Philippines-embracing the Colleges of Liberal Arts, Law, Medicine and Surgery, Engineering, Agriculture, Veterinary Medicine, Education, Schools of Forestry Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Fine Arts, a Graduate School of Tropical Medicine and Public Health, and a Conservatoire of Music-is located in Manila. Other high insti- tutions of learning are the National University, the Philippines Women's College, Jose Rizal College, Ateneo de Manila, the University of Manila, and the University of Santo Tomas, which is managed and maintained by the Dominican Fathers. this there are Schools of Theology and Church Law, Jurisprudence, Notarial Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Business and Engineering.

The city and its suburbs receive their drinking water by pipes leading from the reservoir at Montalban, about 15 miles north-east of Manila. The water is laid on to almost every house, both domestic and business. For the purpose of improving the water-supply and extending its benefits to the neighbouring towns, its administration and ownership has been transferred from the city of Manila to a Government Corporation, known as the Metropolitan Water District, since July 1st, 1919. In addition, there are 15 artesian wells which furnish water free to the public. The sewerage system is known as the separate system-one for storm drains and the other for sanitary sewers. The leading hospitals are the Philippine General Hospital, San Juan de Dios Hospital, St. Paul's Hospital, San Lazaro Hospital, Mary Chiles Hospital, and St., Luke's Hospital. There are 14 playgrounds provided with apparatus and placed under the charge of a playground director and staff of assistants. For fire prevention, the city has eight fire-stations.

Manila is also the principal industrial centre of the archipelago. In the city are found coconut-oil mills, cigar and cigarette factories, rope manufacturing firins, hemp braid hat factories, breweries and distilleries, furniture factories, lumber mills, marine railway and repair shops, foundries and machine shops, vulcanizing plants shoe and soap making establishments, and ice plants.

The automatic telephone system extends throughout the city and its suburbs. Electric light has been placed in public parks, streets, hotels, theatres, and other buildings. The city is provided with theatres, baseball grounds, tennis courts, and golf and race courses. The principal clubs are the Army and Navy Club, Casino Español, Elks Club, Wack-Wack Golf and Country Club, Manila Golf Club, Columbia Club, Golf Club, Manila Club, Piroal Blanco, Philippine Columbian Association, Club Filipino, Oriental Club, University Club and the Palo Club.

The city of Baguio is the summer capital of the Philippine Islands. The name means typhoon. It is situated 160 miles north of Manila, among the Benguet moun- tains. Its elevation is 1,450 metres, or about 5,000 feet. At many points it is over 5,500 feet. The city has an area of 49 square kilometres and a perimetre of 30.6 kilometres. Its population (according to a census taken in 1918) numbered 5,462, con- sisting of Igorots, Christian Filipinos, Americans, Japanese, Chinese and Europeans. The mean monthly minimun temperature is 14′9 deg. C. (58'8 deg. F.), and the mean monthly maximuin 230 deg. C. (73:4 deg. F.). The annual average of the humidity is 86.4. The forests are pure pine.

Baguio was discovered by a Spaniard, Alfonse Martin Quirante in 1623, and six years later Guillermo Galvey, a Spaniard, led an expedition to Baguio. Dean C. Worcester, visiting the Philippines in 1892, in the interest of science, met by chance a Spaniard, Señor Sanchez, and Baguio may be said to owe its origin to this chance meeting. The First Civil Government in the township of Baguio was established in 1900. A committee composed of General Luke E. Wright, Governor-General; Dean C. Worcester, Secretary of the Interior; Horace L. Higgins, President of Manila Railroad Company; Major L. M. Maus, U.S.A., Medical Corps; and Dr. Frank S. Bourns, journeyed from San Fernando to Baguio to investigate the possibilities of establishing a moun- tain resort and health station. On the strength of the committee's recommendations, the Philippine Commission appropriated money for Baguio's initial development. The first Sanatorium (now the Post Office) was constructed in 1902. D. H. Burnham, a landscape architect, visited Baguio in 1904 and drew the Burnham Plan for the development of Baguio. The Baguio Country Club was organized in 1906, and in 1908, the Baguio Hospital and Mansion House were constructed, and Teachers' Camp was opened. In 1909 five large Stanley automobiles made a through trip on the Benguet Road (now Kennon Road) for the first time. In the same year the township of Baguio was incorporated under the name of City of Baguio with a charter.

The township has a City Council consisting of five members, including the mayor and vice-mayor, an Igorot Advisory Council of five members, and various Government departments. Heads of the various departments, the Vice-Mayor and a third City Councilman, meinbers of the Igorot Advisory Council, are all appointed by the Gover- nor General with the consent of the Philippine Senate. The two other meinbers of the City Council are elected by popular vote. For obvious reasons, two or more positions are filled by only one person without extra compensation. The Mayor is also

the City Engineer and District Engineer. The City Treasurer is also the City Assessor, Mining Recorder for the Sub-province of Benguet, and Registrar of Deeds for both the city and the sub-province. Tlie City Health Officer is also the Chief of the Baguio Hos- pital. The City Attorney is also the Provincial Fiscal of the Mountain Province. One Councilman is also the Superintendent of the Philippine Constabulary Academy. The Vice-Mayor is usually a ranking officer of the United States Army Post at Camp John Hay. The arrangement that the Mayor is also the City Engineer makes the City Government very similar to the City Manager system of government in vogue in many important cities of the United States.

The activities of the City Government embrace the operation of the following utilities: Hydro-electric plant, ice plant, telephone system, water supply system, sewerage system, pai! and garbage system, city slaughterhouse, concrete pipe factory, rock crusher, and land transportation. The first city hydro-electric plant was completed in July 16th, 1921, the second city hydro-electric plant was completed in April 21st, 1924, the ice plant began the production of ice in 1912, the telephone system was inaugurated in 1908, the water supply system began operation in 1910, the sewer system began operation in 1913, the pail and garbage system inaugurated in 1911, the city slaughterhouse was established in 1911, a concrete pipe factory was established in 1920, a rock crusher installed in 1916, the Baguio Central School (2 stories concrete) was completed on March 16th, 1923, the Sanitary Camp was established in 1913, the Vegetable Market Building (stone) was completed in 1918, Baguio Auditorium (formerly grandstand) was inaugurated on April 25th, 1924, and the Baguio Branch Library (branch of the Philippine Library and Museum) was established in August, 1921.

Tomas Mountain, Antamok Mines, Topside, Mansion House, Country Club, Wright Park, Fines Hotel, Government Centre, Quezon Hill, Burnham Park, Easter School, City Hall, City Market, Constabulary Hill, Bua Dormitory, City Camp, Brent School, Saint Louis College, Baguio Central Schools, Baguio Hospital, Baguio Branch Library and Busol Cave Reservation.
