No doubt many visitors were interested in the Igorrotes or in
some other one slight feature which left no deep impression of
the actual condition of the islands. But everyone who went
attentively through the Philippine village knows just what kind
of people the Filipinos are, and learned much of their customs
and their industries, and also acquired a fair knowledge of the
resources of the islands and the many problems confronting our
Government. The Philippine exhibit was one of the greatest
features of the fair.

_Humane Education Society._--The pamphlets issued by the Humane
Education Society during the progress of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition are far-reaching as an important factor in true
education, and can not but result in good. Children through
their influence will be trained in habits of kindness to the
dependent lower creatures, become gentler to each other, more
amenable to authority, and better in their conduct. Through the
efforts of this society Bands of Mercy have been organized in
the various schools and churches throughout the country, and as
a result children become more humane.

Pamphlets of instruction of methods of forming humane education
societies were given out with other literature on humane
treatment of animals which could not fail in arousing interest.
A grand and noble work is being done throughout the world by the
humane societies. Too much can not be said in praise of the work
being accomplished by the little children as members of Bands of
Mercy.

for me to give an accurate report of all the important exhibits
viewed by jury group 129. There were several things I consider

you will no doubt receive reports concerning them. One was the
"Model Nursery," which no doubt appeals to all womankind.
Another, the school exhibits in manual training, drawing, nature
study, and kindergarten exhibits. Most of this work is developed
through the training of the powers of the child by our great
army of noble women teachers.

classes into which it was divided represented: Savings banks,
