AMERICAN GIRLS WANTED IN TIL
PHILIPPINES.
Freedom" has dwelt severa
times upou the desirability in thes'
islands of young American Women
1t is probable that there are few
places where there is a better oppor
tunity for young women in business
Stenographers and typewriters ART
always in demand, and it is almos
impossible to secure one when wan
ted.
Many clerical positions are open
both in government and in business
offices. Teachers would have little
trouble in securing places.
And where in the world are there
better matrimonial opportunities?
Think of it, girls Of America,
here in the Philippines are probably
ten thousand unmarried young
Americans, with plenty of money
to pay for flowers, ice cream, candy,
and theater tickets, you are missing
the opportunities OF your lives
Cut loose from Cholly ard Freddy
at home, who languidly lounge
about and take care TO be non-com-
initial: save up your spare shekels
and come to the Philippines, where
you will be welcomed both literally
and figuratively with open arms
You will have no trouble in finding
lucrative employment and pleasant
boarding places.
The moon shines just as bright in
the Philippines; young men are
just as attentive; the waves wash
the Malacon as seductively as they
chase one another along the beach
at Coney Island. Yon are needed
here. Seriously, there is no reason
why young American women, with
business training or ability, should
not come here. In all new colonies,
the absence Of the softer sex results
in a hardening Of the colonists.
The absence Of the refining society
of the women does much to coarsen
The man. With comparatively no
society the young man seeks con-
yeniality in the saloons and in worse
places. Social economy teaches
hat man degenerates without fam
ly and social influence.
In no place has this been, or is it
being, demonstrated better than in
With no family ties or encum-
Frances young men feel that they
nave no responsibilities. In place
If the economy and saving habits
,ngendered through necessity in
providing for a wife and little ones,
he young man not only squanders
lis money, but acquires habits and
wills which during the course of
line must fasten closer and closer
ipon him with the result that, in
stead Of becoming valuable mem
Der of society, with ties Of relation
hip and interest binding him to the
of the community, he be
drone in the hive, and an
and worthless drag to
society.
How many young fellows in Man.
la are going to the Devil just as fast
Is their incomes will carry them, or
aster? There are a good many Of
hem. In British Columbia, and
n other colonies of the British En-
oire, the evil resulting from the alb
'ence Of women in the community
vas recc gaized, and remedies adopt
ID. In the early days in Australia,
,hiploads Of buxom, red-cheeked
English girls we're sent out to be-
come the wives OF the colonlsts, and
he country was the better for it.
They made earnest, helpful wives,
and rendered practical and valuable
aid in the development Of the COL
ony. OF course, we do not advise that
The home government ship out to
.hese Islands young women for the
especial purpose of becoming the
wives Of Americans here. That
would be absurd from the American
Self respecting young
women would not come for this es-
pecial purpose.
There must be the inevitable ro-
not the calculating matter
,f-fact reality.
However, there is no reason why
manageable young women should
lot be sent here as school teachers,
,r as government employees; ard
here is no reason why ambitious
young women with their own way
o make in life, should not come
here to find employment in bust
ness. and in government,
