waterworks. battleship. and probably

waterworks. a battleship, and probably
none of them had ever ridden in a
buggy. When they reached Manila,
they all called the street cars, trains,
because they had studied about trains
but had never seen any. They went i'm
the big factory where they make ice
and they all thought they were going
to die before they got out because it
was so cold and the thermometer was
ten degrees above zero at the time
they were there too. You see they had
never been where it was SO cold. They
had never seen buildings before, that
were more than two stories high and
they had never seen such large stores.
When they reached Cebu on their way
to Manila, the boys from Cebu who
were going to Manila to compete in
the Carnival, were also Visayans and
they considered these girls from Mis-
amis as one of their crowd. So they
wanted to do something nice for the
girls and they bought each one of them
nice big red apple. Apples don't
grow here you know and they thought
that would be great treat. 1t cost
them five cents for each apple but
they paid it and gave them to the girls.
Each girl took her apple and looked at
it for awhile for they had never seen
apples before. The Supervising teach
er, who was with them, told me that
he had to tell them to take bit be-
ore they knew how to eat them. Each
one took bite and he said he noticed
that they did not eat any more but
he did not say anything until the Cebu
boys went away and then he asked
them what was the matter. Every
one of them gave their apples to the
Supervising Teacher because they did
not like them. They had never tasted
apples before and they did not like
the taste.
And now there is lot of talk about
taking these girls to Shanghai, China,
this summer to play in the Eastern
Olympic Meet, so that the Chinese
and Japanese girls can see what Fill
ippino girls can do. If they go there
will be another team to go also, for
the Chinese and Japanese girls do
not play ball. ! guess you are tired
hearing about these little brown girls
but thought perhaps you would be
Interested in knowing what they are
doing. But did you notice why they
got chance to go to Dumguete and
Manila and why they may get
chance to go to Shanghai? 1t is be-
cause they did just what their teach
ers told them to and played baseball
just the way they were taught and
just as hard as they could. 1t was al
so because they took those long walks
to play games in the other towns near
Oroquieta. That was what developed
them and made them strong so that
they could win in Dumguete and Man
lila. 1t was hard work and especially
hard here, where the afternoons are
very warm. You know it is very hard
to work when it is very hot, even to
play baseball, but these girls liked to
play and they worked hard and that
was what made them win. Well, l
must stop now for | have written you
a pretty long letter and | have some
others to write.
Sincerely yours,
Paul j. Morgan.
