The first woman in the Philippines
to take the lead in agricultural pur-
suits is Mrs. Fedora Zavilla, in Santa
Rosa Laguna. Officials of the bureau
of agriculture speak highly of the eff
forts of Mrs. Zavilla to improve agri-
cultural operations in her district,
stating she has set an example which
ought to be followed by all the farm
ers in the islands. Mrs. Zavilla is
now the foremost farmer in Santa
Rosa district She received instruc-
tion in seed selection, and then she
trained Is of her own men whom
she accompanied to the fields and as
sisted personally in selecting the rice
seed for the next seasons planting.
Why should not Mrs. Zavilla be con-
sidered when the vote is extended to
Philippine men? Will the Is men
she trained be given voice in self
government, while Mrs. Zavilla, with
all her ability, is. dishonored in state
government? What line Of argument
can possibly justify elf-government
for men in the Philippines and not
include women?

Episcopal Women Get Parochial-Vote.

At the Episcopal convention for
the missionary jurisdiction. Of south
ern Florida, Bishop Mann made an
announcement Of unusual interest. It
was to the effect that women members
of the Episcopal churches may vote in
the parochial elections henceforth,
the house of bishops having consented
to the striking out of the word ''male"
in the paragraph of the canon relat-
ing to such elections.
The Florida Record publishes this
particularly, because it was in st.
Johns church in Tallahassee that this
movement Of granting women q vote
in certain church matters was begun.
The first session of the state Episco-
pal convention of the diocese of Flor
ida rejected the proposition on a
technicality, but about two years ago
it was endorsed and sent up to the
general convention, held the past
years and adopted. So that to st.
Johns church belongs the credit Of
this important work,

SCHOOL NOTES

Island Pond witnessed an exhibi-
ton (?) game of basket ball, Tues
day night at. the opera house. The
average weight of the high school
team is 118 pounds, and the Derby
academy team about 145 pounds.
The contrast in the sportsmanship of
the two teams was strongly marked.
Derby played a rough-house game,
but Island Pond, as usual, stuck by
the rules and made no fuss. Derby,
however, interrupted the game to
crab about decisions.-It reminded
one of a contest between a lion and
a mouse.-The p. H. S. boys are
true sportsmen and we are proud of
them; they play the game according
to rule and with all their might,
proving a hard proposition even for
teams much heavier than themselves
and they take defeat in a fine spirit,
with no Grabbing, and a resolve to
win the next time. If we had our
choice, we would pick the Island
Pond style every time. Derby Acad-
envy did not appear to be playing the
easiest game of the season." as the
Express and Standard described last
weeks game, but perhaps appear
ances are deceitful. The Island Pond
boys unite in opinion that this game
was the easiest they have played
in proportion to size and methods of
the opposing team. The following
verse we'll describes the |. P. H. S.
spirit:
"He lost the CANA; no matter for
that,
He kept his temper and swung his
hat.
A better way
Than to lose his temper and win the
day."
, Lawrence Curran and Carl With
row are still absent on account of
illness.
IMPORTANT! Two local teams of
high and grammar school girls will
play a game of basket ball at the
opera house, tomorrow Saturday
night. Admission, 10 cents.
Several returned to school this
week, after being absent OH account
of illness.
About seven dollars was raised at
the box social last Friday night.
