Since World Book Company published its
first text for the Philippine schools, in 1905,
the Insular Bureau of Education has extended
its work to the remotest corners of the
Archipelago; and the land of the Moro, for
centuries unpacified, now constitutes several
effective school divisions. Though wonderful
progress has been made in the assimilation of
Mohammedan and Christian Filipinos, one
of the chief needs of the Philippines is still
for a better understanding between these
two groups; and another need is for a better
understanding reciprocally of the people of
the Philippines with the people of the
United States. It was to aid in meeting these
needs that Dr. Orosa, after years of service
among those of his fellow countrymen who
are of the Mohammedan faith, undertook to
write The Sulu Archipelago and Its People.
The publishers offer this little book in full
confidence that it meets the requirements of
their motto, "Books that Apply the World's
Knowledge to the World's Needs"
