Report Of a Board Appointed by General
Wood to Formulate a Plan.
SANTIAGO, Cuba. March J.-The re-
port of a board appointed by Brigadier
General Wood to formulate a scheme
for public education in the province OF
Santiago has heee made public. II
states that SO far as is known, there IS
not a single building, 0 a foot Of land
in this province owned by the people for
school purposes and not a single dollar
Of endowment for any educational il
stitution.
On these conclusions the board says:
1.-The immediate need, therefore, for
the people CT Cuba, and especially OF
this province, is that a system Of pri-
mary and secondary education, rs
these terms are understood in Cuba,
or OF primary, grammar and
high schools, as schools are graded
in the United States, supported entirely
from the public funds and absolutely
free to all children Of school age;

as to meet the needs Of the entire popu-
lation; administered with a view to the
highest efficiency and the greatest econ
omy and following courses adapted tc
the changed conditions resulting from
the extraction Of Spanish sovereignty
in the island"
Religious instruction of any nature is
held by the board to be inadmissable,
and for this decision it gives a reason
that "the recent changes in the political
status Of the island have effected a
practical disestablishment Of what had
previously been a state church."
In all schools. English must be taught
and attendance is compulsory, unless it
can be proved that the child is receiv-
