ed States" says Mrs. de Veyra. Il do
not mean to infer we are perfect, for
we are not. My people have most of
the defects, l suppose, that other hui
mans have but at the same time we
are far from the people that many
Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we Christian people,
but our race has history that we are
not ashamed of. Throughout the Phil
ippine Islands the people are nov
working earnestly to improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own af-
fairs. We all love America for giving
having promised us our independence,
which is one of the dearest desires of
the entire citizenship of the islands,"
To American women whose ideas of
Fiipinos have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyras gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reve-
lation. She is sought by women's clubs
because of her charming manner as an
fmpromptu speaker on the subject
nearest her heart-the women of her
country.
At recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English a concise
account of the work of a woman's club
in Manila which supplies milk to the
babies of the poor and trains mothers
to care for their young children. She
told of another woman's club which
has branches all over the Philippine
Islands and which maintains day
nurseries for the children of the work
ing women, provides Christmas cheer
for the lepers, the insane and the con-
victs, and gathers data to influence leg
islation for the benefit of Filipino wo-
men and children.
The four little De Veyras, shown in
the picture, having attended the pub
lie schools in Manila, slipped right into
the same grades in the schools of
Washington. Even little Mary, the
baby of the family, speaks three Ian
guages-her native tongue, Spanish
and English.

Permit us to present the De Veyra
family.
The Hon. Jaime c. de Veyra is the
Resident Commissioner from the Phil
ippine Islands to the United States and
has Just been elected to a second term
of three years AS Resident Commits
sioner he has seat on the floor of
the American Congress, the privilege
of taking part in debates, although no
vote.
Commissioner de Veyra has an inter
esting wife and four bright Filipino
kiddes The De Veyra family, individ-
ually and collectively, constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa-
biities Of Filipinos that the Philippine
Islands have in Washington.
The commissioner is a 100 per cent
Filipino, a Visayan, and is one of the
foremost leaders of the party in power
In the islands. During American occu-
patton he has been successfully gov
ernOr of his province, member of the
Philippine legislature, cabinet mem
Der and executive secretary of the
islands.
Like many statesmen of the Philip
pines, he was originally a newspaper
man. He was one of the founders of
FL Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill
Pine paper published advocating Phil
ippine independence. The paper came
under the censorship of General Nc
Intyre, and on the appearance of the
first number the editors were left in
the singular position of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.
Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband, is
a Give wire" in the Philippines cause.
She is the best known Filipino in
America. She is an interesting public
speaker and is constantly giving illus
trated lectures at women's clubs and
other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra is a
publicity bureau all in herself and has
put the Philippines on the map, so far
as the women folk of Washington con-
gressional circles are concerned

been much misrepresented in the Unit

WE'RE READY TO BE SHOWN

The Fairmont Independent remarks
that "A farmer who is a strong re-
publican and doesn't believe in the
Nonpartisan league suggests very
properly that the newspapers and
orators give some attention to the
profiteers and lingo howiers and let
the Nonpartisans take a rest. This
party states that the continual abuse
Of the Nonpartisans and the passing
by without any censure of the prof.
teers, is making more Nonpartisans
every day. The men who are re-
sponsible for the sugar famine, the
price of print paper. and other com
modities, as the Independent has be-
fore stated, are a menace to any
government and should be deported
or shot" We would like to read at

HOW THE ARMY MAKES GOOD
AMERICANS

Foreigners outstrip uneducated
Americans in acquiring the knowl-
edge the army has to offer in its re-
cruit educational centers, asserts Fl.
H. Railey, writing in The American
Legion Weekly. The foreigner can,
as a rule, read and write two or
three languages, while the American
illiterate cannot\ even read or write
his own. OF the Center at Camp Up
ton. Long Island, N. Y. Mr.. Railey
says:
"Of the 1900 students, only fifty
percent are native born Americans
and the majority of these are, or
were, i%lliterates. Among the balance
are representatives of forty-six ma
tons from Iceland to Argentina, and
eveay religion from Mohammedans
to Holy Rollers. Men who in Europe
today would be fighting each other
sleep side by side in the old barracks
Of the National army.
when the recruit arrives at the
center he is Quarantined for fifteen
days, instructed in practical hygiene,
fitted out, drilled and taught ele-
mentary physical exercises. AS soon
as possible he takes a Psychological
test and is classified on the basis Of
his intelligence rating.
"A shrewd and successful attempt
has been made, In the construction of
the course Of study. to take account
of human nature. There is, for in
stance, "a letter home in the mans
own hand and composition at the end
of two weeks" The man is urged to
do his best, because OF "the nobility
of his work" He learns good habits
under camoufiage and becomes the
teacher of those duties and ideals
which 1t Is desired he shall get"
ITO illustrate the point, an ~instruc-
tor took me into one of the advanced
classrooms. Here sat men of forty
five years or more with boys of
eighteen, all writing letters. In
stead of telling these men, said the
captain, that they should brush their
teeth, sleep with their windows OPP
en-, keep their uniforms clean and
neat, and so on, we have them write
letters to their chums at home, de-
scribing such duties as part Of their
daily life here. Thus, they are the
teachers as we'll as the pupils, and
they take immense pride in their
work"
aside from disseminating a
broader mastery of English, a wider
familiarity with the ideals and ira
ditions of America, the army hopes
to eliminate bolshevtsm and hyphe-
mated ~Americanism, for each student
who enters its schools leaves with a
more genuine and efectual feeling
of devotion for the land Of his new
freedom. And the joy he takes in 1t
is pathetic but wonderful to behold

THE LEGAL RIGHT TO REMAIN
IGNORANT

The legal right to remain ignorant
is annually granted to thousands Of
children in states where child labor and
education laws are backward. Ac-
cording to an account of the admins
tration. Of the federal child labor law
soon to be published by the children's
bureau of the United States depart
nent Of labor, only 7S3 children out
of 1866 to whom certificates were is
sued, or less than four per cent, had
attended or completed the eighth
grade though completion Of the eighth
grade is generally regarded as nee
essary to secure even the rudiments
of an education.
Only one Of these five states has a
compulsory school law for children UP
to sixteen, even when unemployed,
and that law permits many ex-
emptions. Both parents and children,
through ignorance of the value Of
schooling, are apt to take advantage
of the legal right to dodge an educa-
ton. In a recent study Of school at
tendance in Cleveland 1t wes found
that 1850 children were SO irregular
In their attendance at school al to in
terfere with their studies. and that
the reasons for staying out of school
were in many s trivial. Among
foreign groups, children were kept at
home Of bargain or market days to
act as interpreters for their mothers.
In addition to lax school attendance
laws, three Of the five states permit
children sixteen years old and younger
to go to work ever If they can not
read or write or have never been to
school. Two require only that the
child applying for work shall have
gone to school for a brief period dur
ing the preceding year Among the
other States in the United States
twenty three require the completion
