David P. Barrows, A List of Philippine Baptismal Names (1905)
“ Schneider found that very great difficulty is experienced by American teachers in determining the correct spelling of the proper names of Filipino pupils enrolled in our schools. Filipino teachers also are frequently careless in this matter, and, through neglect and the absence of proper standards, the spelling of proper names in the Philippines has undergone great corruption. The necessity for such a list as this is certainly apparent to anyone who has had the task of properly enrolling pupils in a school. ”
