The commission has passed an educational bill-which pro- vides for the appointment of 1000 American teachers and ten- American division super- intendents to serve in the islands. | The importance of this: new measure | can hardly be overestimated. It means, judging -from - what President .

In this way new ideas were brought ‘gradually and carefully before a strange and generally hostile people.
