SO we'll started i'm on the first day

appear much to Americans, but to
them it is Il great deal, as all of the

something to have had picture of the
class the first day. Nearly every one
was attired in "breeeh-clout," and a

they would have to wear more clothes
in the future. The next day they were
different set of boys. One big
change l have had to make, and one
that has been a hard one, is that Of
making them keep quiet. 1t is the
custom here in the schools to let the
children study aloud. You can mag
inc the amount of noise so good
healthy boys can make when they want
to. l had plenty of trouble for the
first few days trying to break them of
the habit, but now they are as quiet
as they were noisy before. There are
two Filipino teachers with them to
teach them their eatechism, but since
they have begun to study English they
GERS take a great deal of interest in
the school and the doctor has offered
a money prize to the boy who has the
best record in school. If that won't
money is the dearest thing on earth to
them. Some Of the boys reminded me
of our American boys in their dislike
of school. The other day one OF the
native policemen came in with eight
boys tied together. They did not want
