get them in hand. The exploring parties
above referred to have opened the way. The communities organized
under teachers of the Bureau of Education seem to promise something as
well. Last fall when I left the islands search was being made for the
right sort of an American teacher to put in charge of school interests
at Baler, with jurisdiction over the Ilongot villages appurtenant
thereto. The people of Patakgao since my visit have accepted an
invitation, then made, to send their young men and boys to the barrio
of San Juan, a village in the mountains back of Pantabangan, where a
school is conducted and where several of these youth are now living
in charge of a native man in whom the Ilongot have confidence. The
Bureau of Education meets the slight expenses of this educational
experiment. This work of social development, here as in a thousand
similar places in the Philippines, will be best done by the American
teacher, but the task is inviting only to the man in whom the spirit
of youth and adventure and fascination with human problems runs strong.

Mr. Murphy's last report concluded, "I believe the schools can do
these people a great amount of good and solve the government's worst
problems. The work, however, is dangerous, as the man who undertakes
it has no protection but his own diplomacy in handling the people. If
trouble comes it will be from the young bucks, desirous of gaining
a reputation."

[4] Other anthropometric data on the Igorot besides that here presented
are as follows: In 1905, at San Francisco, Dr A. L. Kroeber measured 18
men and 7 women of Bontok and published the results in the American
Anthropologist for Jan.-Mar., 1906, p. 194. The stature of these
men varied from 1460 to 1630, the average being 1550. The average
arm-reach was 1572, the average nose length 41 and breadth 40, the
index varying from 85.7 to 135.5, while the average nasal index was
99.8. The average head length was 186 and breadth 148. The cephalic
index varied from 73.40 (dolichocephalic) to 85.47 (brachycephalic),
with an average index of 78.43 (mesaticephalic). The data for the
women were: stature 1486, arm-reach 1491, nasal index 85.7 to 108.8,
average 99.7, cephalic index 78.59. These measurements conform closely
to my own taken upon Igorot of surrounding localities.
