Today she is an instructor of the blind
and proofreader at the Pennsylvania In
sttution for the Blind, at Overlook. a
suburb of Philadelphia and the wonder
full success of her education, as we'll as
her usefulness goes far to diSprove the
oft-repeated assertion that the mind of
the oriental is not susceptible to western
influence. Even the instructors who
wrought the marvellous development of
Helen Keller can hardly claim greater
success than has been achieved here.
Not only is Miss Gutzoff thoroughly
educated and adept in the usual arts and
sciences of the academic curriculum, but
she is also first-class typewriter. an
expert teiegrapher and an accomplished
= musician. She is artistic To high de-
gree, her fancy needlework, with it's per-
feet symmetry and remarkable harmony
of coloring, being the envy of experts
in that line who are possessed of sight.
In fact, to her wonderful versatility she
owes the distinction of being the first
oriental woman to occupy teachers
position in public institution in the
disappearing world.
Her Childhood Recollections.
Born in central China. of Chinese pa
rents. Miss Gutzlon has a slight recollec-
ton of her childhood. Indistnctly she
remembers that with several other chill
dren there were seven others in facu.
all OF whom had been blinded by the
bloodt thirsty bandits who raided the vii
lage of Ma Gao she rescued and
taken to the coast by missionaries. Later
she was adopted and brought to the
United States by the wife of Rev. DR.
Charles Gutzloff. English Episcopal
missionary. the purpose being to have the
educated Chinese girl return to her native
land as Mrs. GutZloff's co-worker among
the blind of the Celestial empire. After
a years study in the institution for the
blind al Columbus. Ohio however. death
claimed the girls benefactress and she
was committed 20 the of wealthy
gentleman named Chaplin. who trans
ferred his protegc to an institution at
Geneva N y. where she remained for
two years. Later she was sent to an in
stitution for the higher education of the
blind at New York city. where her pro-
ficiency in all branches of study attracted

widespread attention and resulted in pro-
curing for her, at the instance of a Mr.
Douglas. whose name she bears. a trust
fund sufficiently large to insure to her a
thorough education in the higher aca-
demic branches.
Nor was her education along industrial
lines neglected She attained such pro-
ficiency in the art of needlewOrk, en-
broidery. crocheting. etc, that the prod
uct of her needle found a ready sale in
the stores of New York and led to her
abduction from the institution by a
woman who hoped to reap pecuniary
benefit from her industry.
The hue and cry raised over her abduc-
ton. however, scared off her captOr and
Miss Gutzloff was returned to the 'insti-
tuition. whence she eventually graduated
with high honors. Her selection for the
position she now occupies soon followed.
The appointment of an oriental woman
to teach occidental things to occidental
pupils was radical departure from the
general order of things but the results of
her work bear ample testimony to the
wisdom OF her selection. No woman of
any race could more fully command the
confidence and affection of her charges, to
whose moral. mental and physical we'll
being she is devotng her great talents.
and for whose benefit she has devised
valuable methods tending to simplify the
teaching of the blind. In this connection
perhaps her most notable achievement
has been the translation into Chinese.
through the medium Of the system of
Used dots. of religious literature.
The PENNSYLVANIA institution is co-edu-
cational. and Miss Gutzl offs class con-
ssts of some thirty-five pupils. ranging
in age from fifteen to twenty years. 81 per
cent of whom have never seen the light
of day. III addition to the ordinary stud
les, she instructs her pupils in the arts
of typewriting. needlework, music. ETC.,
and yet finds time to supervise the read
ing Of the proofs of all tex books used
by the institution. Commenting upon the
value of her work, Rev. Mr. Poole, a
Chinese missionary, said:
Imparts Spirit of Cheerfulness.
And she teaches optimism, which, per-
haps. is of more value to those unfor-
Inmates than anything contained in the
curriculum Indeed she seems 70 impart

lack of sight often relieves me of the ne

of my friends-which is perhaps another
blessing. Thus humor must be added to
Miss GutZloff's other attributes

That" she replied, would not be in
accord with my idea of red. Perhaps |
should even be bold enough to differ With
YOU and to suggest that the color of your
hair is auburn.
Save for her complexion, facial charac-
teristics and the texture of her hair few
would suspect that Miss Gutzloff is Chi

as an American and is a profound adj
mirer of everything pertaining to Amer

Altogether this little Chinese woman is
very entertaining and a delightful per-
sonage. She has very pronounced ideas
of humor and is light hearted and spirit
ed. Possessing pleasant voice. convinc-
ing manner of speech and splendid COM
mand of the English language. she re-
minds one very strongly of the late Fran
ces F.. Willard. Modest to a degree. she
has strong aversion to publicity, trait
which is responsible for the fact that al
though she has been connected with the
institution for many years few save those
actively interested in the work among
the blind have been aware of her exist
ence. Indeed. she steadfastly refused to
talk of herself or submit to being photo
eraphed until it was pointed out to her
that the world should know what Chris
tianity and education had done for
poor blind Chinese girl.

few highly priced rifles out of the thatch
of the nipa huts. Again hitting the trail
amid the hearty good-byes and good
wishes of the populace. the soldiers were
reasonably sure of running again into
their erstwhile amigos out in the bosque.
The fighting was not always pleasantly
one-sided. either. Mai. Rowland tells of
little occurrence that pretty nearly ter
minated his budding career before it had
fairly begun to blossom. 1t was one day
in 1890. when Rowland was still a shave
tail. that he and his captain, now Maj.
William H. Allaire. U.S.A.. adventured
CUT into the bosque to make few Fill
pinos good. Rowland had discovered IA
neat little hill from which the enemy
could be surprised as they went to and
from a considerable work that they had
erected in the valley opposite. Knowing
the way. he was with the point the
most advanced portion of the advance
guard.
Now, the point consists of only four
men. so that upon approaching the hill
a Filipino officer suddenly jumped UP.
waving his sword and giving the firing
commands to his men, the situation looked
bad. Rowland brought the officer down
with his pistol. but the volley the insur-
gent officer had commanded found one
victim-the American lieutenant-who was
severely wounded in the right arm. Hold
ing his arm behind him to conceal the
wound from his men, he ordered them to
take cover and retire slowly
AS they fell back firing on the enemy
who had begun to crowd them. fire was
opened on the little party from a new
direction, and it was apparent that they
were nearly surrounded. The keen marks
manship and rapid fire Of the Americans
however. prevented the Filipinos from
closing too precipitately. Yet they were
getting closer and closer and the newt
able moment was at hand when even their
unskillful use of their firearms would
surely find some more victims. when the
captain and part of the company arrived
on the scene. Their coming was more
than opportune AS the captain at the
head of his men came in sight Of his
desperately beset Lieutenant. he grabbed
a gun and fired apparently point blank
at Rowland. When the latter turned
around to see what the captain had been
shooting at he discovered a Visayan on
the ground not more than twenty PAGES
from him. shot through the forehead. He
soon learned that the native had sneaked
up close through the jungle and had IL
bead on his back when the captain laid
him low.

The latter was to accept the surrender in
the name of the civil government,
Benevolent Assimilation.
Atibadoy surrendered according to agree
ment, and the civil governor allowed him
to go back into the bosque to work upon
his fellow brigands and induce them to
surrender also In this he was fairly
successful. so much so that in short

was not sentenced and is today leading
peaceful and prosperous existence in Sa-
mar.
The veteran brigand. Otoy. however
did not come in. The ways of outlawry
had been his for so long that he preferred
to remain without the pale of the law
rather than to come in and immune him
self for life in fulfilling the sentence that
the civil law had ready for him. He
gathered together his family and friends
and disappeared into the more inacces-
sble parts of the island. He is there yet
but he no longer has following, and the
civil government. through it's constabu-
larry, is quietly working to round him up
SO there are no more Pulujanes and the
Island of Samar is at peace. The scouts
after eight months of continuous field
duty. were able to begin to establish
themselves in camp. Two of the four
companies of the battalion are stationed
at Borongan and the other two at Camp
Hayt. Target ranges have been built at
both stations. and the battalion has set
tied down to receive the peace training
that will round them out into perfect
soldiers after their long, active service
After one has read all that has been
published in the newspapers of the United
States about assertions that occur from
the army right here in this country
the marvellous record of the Philippine
Scouts in the number of assertions
from them is truly worthy of notice.
Maj. Rowland said, in answer to
question on this point. that there are
men now in the 4th Battalion who origi-
nally served in the scout companies eight
years ago. when they were carried as
quartermaster' employees. The records of
the battalion show that in all that time
eight years-there have been only three
desertions and of these three only one
was proved to Ne bona-fide case of de-
sertion. The dsserter in this case was
tracked down by his mates and killed by
the members of his company one day
when lie attempted to escape from the
