The Native Girl
Makes Good

Another thing that makes for
the superiority of native girls in
their work is the attitude toward
their jobs. Every year large num-
bers of American girls go to Porto
Rico to teach school. They are in
the governments employ. Only in
rare cases do they stay longer than
two years, and usually one year is all
they care to work. They are out
mainly for adventure and the work
does not mean to them what it does
to the native teachers.
"Or the other hand, the native
girls intend to make their careers
right there in Porto Rico. 1t is
their lifework and they are striv-
ing to make good. Of course, they
make better teachers than the girls
who are out for a lark and are
teaching on the side in order to
make expenses. I've no doubt many

lence.
Only in the last twelve or thir-
teen years have women Uttered the
business world in Porto Rico. One
OF the first women who worked
there went from the United States
thirteen years ago. Now it is al
most as usual there for girls and
young women to go to work as it
is for them to do so here.
Teaching and stenography are
the principal lines of endeavor. And
the native girls make the most sat
isfactory workers in both fields,
as rule. For one thing all of the
native girls speak English and South
American Spanish. 1t is absolutely
necessary for the stenographers to
have two languages. English is
taught in the public schools, but the
Spanish is necessary for doing bust
ness, since so many of the firms
have to deal with South America.

Strength
Increasing

From 1867 to the year precein
the great war in Europe the suf-
frage question has been before every
Parliament that has sat at West
minister, and, with one exception
(1880), there has been a determined
attempt to bring vote at each
years session. Increased strength
in Parliament for the advocates was
revealed at each succeeding session;
consequently, there was at no time
solid ground for discouragement.
Women in many countries or indie
pendent states long have had limited
rights. But only widows or spin
sters owning property and paying
taxes have been accorded the priv
llege of voting even in municipal
elections. National recognition, or
full franchise rights, in Britain,
France and other countries of West
ern Europe, as well as in America,
has remained to develop as one Of
the most important consequences Of
the great war. The war gave
woman spectacular opportunity to
establish hes' worth, more than ever
before, as a citizen entitled to the
privileges Of franchise and Office
holding. Britain and the United
States are now recognizing the fact.

TIME British Parliament has
had before it for some time
the bill which struck out every
disqualification of women citizens for
public service, and the sweep Of the
reform reached from service on
juries to service in the higher
House Of Parliament, the House of
Lords. Under it English women
could be mayors, aldermen and
judges; they might become doctors
Of medicine or surgery, or attorneys,
anywhere within the confines of the
United Kingdom. They could con-
tend or compete with their brothers
in any occupation, profession or
business. Thus they might be leg
islators as we'll. There would be
peeresses in the upper chamber.
The growth of this feminist move
ment in Britain reached its sub
climax after nearly three quarters of
a century Of effort, and yet Britain
was not the precursor in the cam
paign that has spread throughout
every country in the classification of
western civilization" 1t remained
for Sweden, then Finland, then Bo-
hemia, to inaugurate the equal
rights-for-women fight in Europe.
England and Wales fell in line next,
but received the idea only to a linn
tied extent.

Troop 19 has postponed all regular meetings and functions of the troop for the summer. This action was taken for several reasons. There are only about 15 boys left from the division of the troop about six weeks ago. and many of these are off on vacations to last through the entire summer Others are holding positions which do not allow them sufficient time for scout ing, and when the few that are left are counted over, the troop officials find that there is too small a number to carry on active scouting.
 The first Friday in every month the boys still in town are to hold meet ing. It will be through these monthly meetings that the boys will keep in touch with each other. These meet ings insure the reorganization of the troop at the end of the summer. /
 The first Friday after school starts, all the boys will meet again, and start things over. Plans will be made for the wint9s work. The scouts are planning to get new members for the troop, when every one is back in har ness again. Only boys 15 years old and above will be accepted in troop 19. Others who apply for admission, will be referred to Troop 36, the sister troop of IS. Troop 36 is composed of DOyS. lo years or age ana uHuer, WHo were formerly members of Troop IS.
