		The first goal of this undertaking was to prepare grammars and dictionaries of these languages, the second was to train Micronesian educators in the principles and practices of bilingual education, and the third was to develop vernacular materials for use in Micronesian schools.

		This is not possible for me while I am here where I lack everything and yet I have the conceit and the pretension to write a Tagalog grammar which, if it cannot be better than the published ones, at least should offer something more than they.
