Letter from Fred W. Atkinson
Superintendent Atkinson requests that each division superintendent nominate one Filipino boy from each province in their division to travel to the United States for an education. He believes he will be able to secure the traveling, and perhaps living expenses for forty or fifty boys. The nominees should have a good command of the English language and be “bright, clean, ambitious, and healthy.” Atkinson instructs the superintendents to take their time and make a good selection. He further urges them to keep the matter quiet so that they will not be “pestered to death” by hopeful potential nominees or other interested parties.
