Not a Bad Showing.

By Editor

In the "Missions" department of The Examiner (Baptist) of April 2 we find the following item:—

"Professor Dean C. Worcester, the Hon. Charles Denby, Admiral Dewey, and others are agreed that the Filipinos are better capable of self-government, and otherwise more intellectual, than the natives of Cuba. Our Missionary Magazine now adds that only seventeen per cent. of the Filipinos can not read, while in Spain only seventeen per cent. can read. The Missionary Union is quietly arranging to take up the work in the Philippine Islands as soon as possible."
