TELLS STORY
OF PORTO RICO
Normal Budget)

A letter written to Miss Gardner of
the training school by Miss Bess E.
johnson, ~ and is, is very interest
ing because it gives US a picture of
school life in Porto Rico. Miss John
son is critic teacher in the University
of Porto Rico at Rio Piedras. Part of
her letter is below. 1t was written at
Santurce.
Dear Miss Gardner:
The day after Christmas, and what
a Christmas it has been. Not at all
like anything have ever experienced
10 begin with the weather is just like
June and of course Pm used to the
cold and the snow. The most won
derful part of the vegetation here now
IS the gorgeous poinsettias. Instead
of potted plants the bushes are TWEEN
ty feet high and one mass Of the most
brilliant red you can ina CINE. The
roses too are very pretty now-espe-
clally when you get dozen-just
ready to open.
''The schools here are in a very
critical condition. The rural schools
are taught by many who have no
methods at all, or at most have had
only one year at Normal. The build
ings very crude and supplies linz
tied. The ordinary room has fifty in
it of every shade imaginable, due to
the mixture Of the various races.
Spanish is the prevailing language,
but English is taught in the first
grade orally The third grade teacher
is an American but the children don't
understand her and that isn't con-
ducive to good discipline to say the
least t. The fourth grade teacher is q
native, but does the Spanish in the
upper so the rest of us have classes
in her room. On the whole the grades
are at least two years behind those
in the states, yet as [ said they have
the two languages to contend with.
The experiences of the children are so
different from those Of the children
I'm used to dealing with that l find
it hard to appeal to them. To begin
with no one down here-I mean of the
natives--knows how to play. The
old are as bad as the young, neither
can do any team work at all. I have
srent twenty minutes with the sim
plest relay before the fourth graders
got the least notion Of how it was to
be done. 1t is impossible to appeal to
them from the honor standpoint. Well
although the schools are so far from
what they should be I can say Pm
thoroughly enjoying my year here,
and I'm glad Pm here.
"Tha earthquakes furnish us with
considerable excitement for about a
month. | have seen ever so many
buildings that were destroyed par
TALLY or completely but they were
over on the west coast. The influenza
reached US here too. Our Halloween
parties were given up entirely and
since Thanksgiving almost every
school has been closed. We have
taught only seven days since then but
reported every day for work in the
library during the rest Of the time"

committee in charge being Verna
Bergan, chairman, Marie Wilds and
Adoline Beachem. Glass spirit and
enthusiasm were on high and every
one reports an enjoyable time. At
the business meeting which followed

cred was the class play. After con-
siderable debate it vast chosen and
will be given under the direction of
Miss Perry who has had previous ex-
perience with the play.
Several of the faculty were present

ANOTHER LETTER
FROM OVER THERE

Jan. IS, 1919.
Dear Mother:-I haven't received a
letter from you for so long, why not
write me few lines at least. Hope
you are we'll. am in perfect health.
How are all the folks at home, well
I hope. 1t is so miserable waiting to
go home. Perhaps l can tell you
some of my cereer since / left home.
It is rather a long story so l won't
tell all of it. I enlisted as an aviator,
but somehow or another I didn't get
transportation so I started out as a
doughboy. I left Hoboken docks on
the 14th of December, 1917, and land
ed in Liverpool the 25th of Deem
Der, Xmas Day. We then went to
Winchester, Eng, and trained for a
week and then crossed the English
Channel and landed in Laherve,
France, and then the 41st division
broke up. I then was sent to the LIST
division and then became machine
gunner. The M. G. played great
part in this war. The M. G. was the
worst weapon that Germany had. l
am proud to say that I took part in
every battle that the LIST division had
and like to have you know that | am
entitled to wear four wound stripes
and two service.
This sure was a wonderful exper-
fence for me and would not have
missed it for anything know of. l
assure you that l am completerly re-
formed. You won't know me when |
return. There not many of the V. g.
boys in active service. Are Johnnie
and Frank back yet. / never hear
from them. Here are few sectors
that have taken part in: Alsac
Lorraine, was my first experience. l
was near the village Of Cespreax and
the battle of Cantigny and from there
to Montididier, from there to scissors
and from there to the St. Mihael sal
lent and then to Verdun and the
Orrgone. We were in the other sec
tors that have not mentioned. .,
it is a great life if you don't weaken.
l haven't gotten that far yet, and my
record, am proud to say, is perfect.
You may sure, and that is worth a
great deal to me. am not a hero,
did nothing brave, but sure tried
to do my duty and think succeeded
in doing that. But tell the boys for
me that there is no place like back
home. / am working in a Red Cross
hut near Nevers, base hospital ~.
give my love to all and answer soon.
