Finally It Should Be The Earnest Wish And Paramount Aim Of The Military Administration To Win The Confidence, Respect, And Affection Of The Inhabitants Of The Philippines By Assuring Them In Every Possible Way That Full Measure Of Individual Rights And Liberties Which Is The Heritage Of Free Peoples, And By Proving To Them That The Mission Of The United States Is One Of Benevolent Assimilation Substituting The Mild Sway Of Justice And Right For Arbitrary Rule.

The Army Of Grant And The Army Of Lee Are Together. They Are One Now In Faith, In Hope, In Fraternity, In Purpose, And In An Invincible Patriotism. And, Therefore, The Country Is In No Danger. In Justice Strong, In Peace Secure, And In Devotion To The Flag All One.

The Mission Of The United States Is One Of Benevolent Assimilation.

Illiteracy Must Be Banished From The Land If We Shall Attain That High Destiny As The Foremost Of The Enlightened Nations Of The World Which, Under Providence, We Ought To Achieve.
