origin, and these will be more inclined to stay, as they are more in sympathy with the new order of things and have la chance of procuring more desirable parishes owing to the vacancies left by the departure of the Spanish clergy. The church in Porto Rico has been so united with the state and so identified with it in the eyes of the people, that it must share the Odium with which the Spanish rule is commonly regarded
 There are many excellent priests in Porto Rico, and the women and chil- dren are in great part practically Catholic.
 When the congregations have be come accustomed to sustain their priests, the Catholic religion will flour ish much more in Porto Rico than 1t has under Spanish rule. The bishop recently appointed is said to be unwill- ing to serve, and there is need that our government should show an active in terest in the matter.
 With regard to education, Father Sherman says he is net prepared to make anything like a full report. There are many schools both in town and in country. Those in the country are poorly and irregularly attended The children are bright and quick, develop earlier than ours, and many are capa- ble of learning to read and write much sooner than the American children. The prompt sending of teachers of the lower grades acquainted with both English and Spanish would, he thinks, be the best step to facilitate a change in the system of education and to en- able the rising generation to become Americanized. The Catholic colleges both in San Juan and Ponce have such a falling off of support, owing to the war, that he can form no estimate of the work they did and are capable of doing.
 Father Sherman says the system of burial in Porto Rico has been barDar- ous. In places corpses are thrown into shallow graves, sometimes without box or casket Inc cemeteriec are too small and frequently crowded. The state of mortality can be inferred from the fact that the number of illegitimate children exceeds that of the legitimate. Concubinage is said to be common, and is not sufficiently discountenanced either legally or socially. The eradi- cation of this great evil presents one of the most difficult problems in Porto Rico. owing to the mixture of races there. It is often asserted that the Catholic clergy are partly to blame for this deplorable s.ate of affairs, because is said to be expensive. This, says Father Sherman, is calumny.

MORALS IN PORTO RICO
Religion Is Dead on inc Island Says
 Father Sherman.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Assistant Ssc- retary Neiklejohn has made public through the division of customs and in sular affairs Father Thomas E. Sher- mans very interesting and instructive report to General Brooke of his recent trip through the island of Porto Rico
 As far as his observations went Fath- CT sherman says that he found the peo- pie of Porto Rico gentle, docile, and kindly, and that the Spaniards living there rejoice with tkeir Porto Rican friends in the change of sovereignty The disorderly element is a very small fraction in the teeming population of the island. There is some timidity ex- pressed on the port of property hold CTS, but this is largely due to the pa ternal system to which they have be- come accustomed. He says that a lib- eral public outlay on the roads would add immensely to the commerce and security of the island
 Father Sherman says it is common talk that the disorders of the past few months have been caused by bands composed partly of prisoners released by the Spaniards and of Spanish sol diers discharged and remaining on the island. Having, he says, ridden about the island alone, and as a rule. un- armed, for the past three months, hay ing visited many priests and alcaldes and prominent merchants. he is strong ly impressed by the fact that profound respect is felt for American authority and utmost confidence in the courage of any and all of our men,
 Father sherman says that the state of religion on the island is very unsat- isfactoTy. Though in every town of any size there is found a large and handsome edifce, the services are very poorly attended. All the inhabitants of the island, with few exceptions. are nominally at leasG Roman Catholics Very few of the men are more than Catholic in name. They are baptized married, and buried by the priest; that is the extent of their Catholicism. Now that the priests are deprived of gov ernmental aid, many are leaving the country, and more intend to depart be- fore the winter is over. A moderate percentags Qf the clergy are of native

It was a little sugar maid, All painted red and green, Who stood upon the mantlepiece, Where she could best be seen. And she was proud-that sugar maid As proud as any queen. There came a little girl one day, To make little call, Who saw that little sugar maid, And oh, there was a fall! For she-she ate that sugar maid, Ate paint and pride and all.
