LAST DAY OFN. E. A.
Subject of Education of Women Re
ceiVes Attention.


Washington, July 1.-THE last days
meeting of the National Educational
association began with sessions at the
National theater and Grand opera
mousse The gathering at the latter
place was one of the largest since the
meeting. Supt John H McCahan pre-
sided at the National theater. The re-
port of the committee on normal
schooIS was to have been submitted,
but Mr.. Snyder said that the work was
too much to accomplish at this time
and the appropriation for it had not
been made until February last. The
report VIII be submitted year hence.
superintendent Edward Seaver, Bos-
ton, spoke on the subject of 'Democ-
racy and Education" and President
Charles D. McIver of Greensboro, N. G,
strongly advocated cO-educatiOn. He
said that when a woman was educated,
what she learned was passed on to the
next generation, while what man
learned was made use of by himself,
but rarely impaired to his children.
Supt. Richard Hardy of Michigan
said that systems of teaching should
not be made too rigid and that a sys-
tenn which would apply to one CITY
would not have as good an effect in
another.
He compared the cities of Ann Ar
Dor and Muskegon, Mich, to illustrate
TINS proposition, pointing out that Ann
Arbor was a university city while
Muskegon was an Industrial one
Supt- Alchemy RhOads of Frankfort,
KY, pointed out the great necessity for
the education of the masses and said
that crime and illiteracy made it i'm
portant that everything should be done
to extend the benefits of learning to
the people.
At the Grand opera house. the prin-
cipal subject was women in their re-
lations to schools. The meeting was
presided over by Miss Margaret Suth-
erland of Ohio. Miss Arnold of Bos-
ton spoke of the effect upon teachers
of proper appreciation and encour-
agement by the public. Miss Margaret
Evans of Northfield, Mimi, pointed out
the good work done by women's clubs
and their use as an educa tiOnal factor.
Miss Betty Dutton of Cleveland Miss
Sarah Walter, Willamette Conn. and
Miss Lille Williams of Trenton, N J.
participated in the discussion.

The Porto Rico Expedition.

New York, July ia special to the
Times from Washington says:
The movement of the American army
on Porto Rico may be said to have be
gun. No troops have yet left these
shores openly consigned to the island,
but the continued forwarding of addi-
tionaI regiments to Santiago when it is
recognized that Gen. Shafter has as
large an army as he needs to take that
town is in reality the laying of the
foundation of the Porto Rican eXpedi-
dictionary force. and the hurry orders
that have been sent to the southern
concentration camps for the making
ready of large bodies of troops for ear
" movement mark the preparation for
the superstructure.
The determination of the war depart
ment to send a formidable force for the
capture of Porto Rico has been
strengthened by the resistance made by
the Spaniards in SantiagOAn effort will
be made to avoid the mistakes of the
Santiago campaign. Although the
force to be overcome at San Juan is
smaller than at Santiago, and the har-
Dor is by no means so inaccessible, 1t is
proposed to send larger army on the
next expedition, and one that will go
fully equipped with the artillery and
cavalry it needs. There will be no dis
patching of an insufficient force half
equipped and improperly supplied, as
was done when Gen. Shafter was sent
away from Tampa.
The expedition to go against Porto
80 600 men. According to the Spanish
army register for 1898, the total strength
of the Spanish regular forces in the is
land of Porto Rico is 1919. OF these,
5.214 are infantry, armed with Mauser
rifles, 1872 artillery and I'll are engi-
neers. The total cavalry strength is
ten officers and men. The rest of the
garrison is made up of the civil guard.
which is a sort of custom house guard,
and the police force.
The officers who are to command in
Porto Rico are making exhaustive stud
les of the island, and the army's bU-
reau of information, which has elab-
crate data concerning it on file, is be-
ing drawn upon heavily Detail maps
of the island and of its principal towns
are being supplied to these officers, and
the information which they are most in
need of will be forwarded to them as
rapidly as practicable.
It is thought to be not unlikely that
the army of invasion may have a hard
er time landing on the coast of
Porto Rico than it had on the south
coast of Cuba. The Porto Rico coast
line has few of the inIets and indenta-
lions such that at BalQuiri and there
is no harbOr near San Juan like Guam
