The exhibit contains transcriptions of two letters. The first, dated March 5, 1906, is from the Secretary of Public Instruction, General James Francis Smith, to the Director of Education, David P. Barrows. Smith objects to two parts of a book, entitled Stories of Long Ago in the Philippines, written by Hugh Odell McGovney, a former instructor at the Insular Normal School. Smith states that these two sections should be eliminated or the book should be suppressed. In the second letter, dated March 7, 1906, Barrows responds that Mr. Hodgson will be happy with Smith’s opinion. Barrows requests permission to send Smith’s letter to Hodgson.
