MaryW commented on the word Thomasite

In an effort to "civilize" the Filipino people, the Americans established a public education system and made English the medium of instruction. Legions of American teachers, known as the Thomasites, were recruited by the US government to teach Filipino children American history, politics, and cultural traditions.
