Abstract: Bryce in The American Commonwealth.
Fulltext: movies and radio. The quality of English, according to teachers of English, has gone down, and of course Spanish is slowly vanishing as a spoken language here. How are we supposed to talk to on another? Each side could state its position without resentment and the public itself would be placed within the market place of this evolving language so that they can, through usage, and the peculiarities of human nature, give final form to the expression of their ideas. — By Alfredo R. Roces in Manila Times, March 15, 1967. REVERENCE AND SELF-CONTROL “It is an old saying that monarchies live by honour and republics by virtues. The more democratic republics become, the more the masses grow Conscious of their own power, the more do they need to live not only by patriotism, but by reverence and self-control, and the more essential to their well-being are those sources whence reverence and self-control flow.” — Bryce in The American Commonwealth.
