Tell the Truth

  

  Miss Enderby, the headmistress, stopped Anna one day in the passage(走廊).

  “Now,”she said,“I want you to tell me the truth, my dear.”“Naturally,”said Anna shortly, fearing something terrible had happened. What on earth had she done? Could that light pat(轻拍) on the side of Betty head have made her seriously ill? Had that tablet(药片)given to Johnny for his headache yesterday caused his death during the night?

  Miss Enderby explained before Anna could think of further worrying possibilities.

  “I have had a most serious accusation(遣责、非难) made against you by Mrs Bond.”

  “Mrs Bond?”repeated Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet little mother of a child. As far as Anna could remember she had never had caused to say an angry word to the girl.

  “Mrs Bond,”went on Miss Enderby seriously,“tell me that you swore(咒骂) at her daughter yesterday afternoon.”

  “Swore?”cried Anna heatedly.“I don't swear. At least not in school,”she added honestly.

  “But never, never at Janet Bond. There's never been any need.”

  “Mrs Bond's story is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon According to her, the child had to spend some time in the W.C, which meant she set out from home a little late.”

  “Just a minute,”said Anna, beginning to understand.“she did come late, very late. I'd called the roll and marked her absence, of course. Then she wandered in , when we'd started our papercutting , and I believe I said she was a nuisance(讨厌的家伙). She didn't appear to hear, and was certainly quite unmoved and cheerful.”

  “Ah, a nuisance.”Miss Enderby jumped on the word.“Yor're sure you only said a nuisance?”

  “Mrs Bond said that you called her child‘blasted(该死的) nuisance’. Is that true?”

  “Indeed it isn't.”said Anna,“The childor the motherhas made it up!”

  Miss Enderby's face softened and she patted Anna's shoulder.

  “As I doubted, my dear, but of course I had to make sure.”

  A woman president? Many American women have bravely but unsuccessfully run for President of the United States: Victoria Woodhull, Shirley Chisholm and Geraldine Ferraro to name a few. But when an American woman named Janet Jagan ran for president of Guyana, she actually won.

  Janet Jagan was a trained nurse from Chicago. In 1943, when she was twenty-three, she went to Guyana to work in the dental(牙科) office of Dr. Cheddi Jagan. Janet Jagan immediately became involved in the Guyanan labor movement, and in 1946 helped to found the Women's Political and Economic Organisation(W.P.E.O.) and the Political Aflairs Committee(P.A.C.), and began editing the P.A.C. newspaper. In 1950 she co-founded the People's Progressive Party along with her husband, Cheddi Jagan. This party was instrumental in achieving Guyana's independence from British rule.

  While her husband gained fame in the P.P.P., Janet Jagan continued as a leader in the struggle for workers' rights. In 1970, she was elected president of the Union of Guyanese Journalists(UGJ), and from 1973 to 1997, edited the Mirror, a national newspaper.

  The People's Progressive Party had refused to cooperate with the government for many years to protest the dishonest control of elections. In 1992, after the first free presidential election, Dr. Cheddi Jagan became president of Guyana.

  In 1997 President Jagan died, and Janet Jagan ran successfully for president. On Dec. 19, 1997. Janet Jagan was sworn in as the first woman president of the Republic of Guyana. Unfortunately, she was only able to serve for 20 months. On August 8, 1999,Janet Jagan resigned from her ground-breaking post for health reasons.
