Synopsis

This book examines the principles and methods of the extraordinary educational system developed for the people of the Philippines following American occupation in 1900. The author explains that the successful system was based on adapting instruction to the existing needs and conditions of the people, using natural tools and conditions, and respecting native characteristics. These educational principles include an emphasis on practical skills like farming and trade to help Filipinos transition from a life of poverty to one of economic independence, with this practical approach to instruction also designed to inspire democratic ideals. This book is unique in its analysis of the key educational principles used by American educators in the Philippines and how these methods, grounded in a deep understanding of the people and their needs, resulted in extraordinary developments in the country.
