The Need of Schools in Porto Rico.

The children are clamoring for
education, not for play or time to
waste, but to learn TO grow great
and grand like the Americans.
There + o no proper schools
for them, there are practically no
school houses, but a room where
the so-called teacher boards is ut
ilized for the purpose. There is
absolutely no discipline. Chill
dren come and 90 as they please.
They sit on a long bench or on
the floor. Dirt abounds, and but
one book is used for study from
which they are supposed to learn
to read. AS a fact, however, they
do not learn anything A curlos-
ity and n farce is the present sys-
TEN of schools. Can We face the
situation silently? Could you
glance once at the bright
faced youngsters as they came out
from the school of but an hour in
the morning, you would never for
get the intelligent, bright look
which meets yours, and you would
be convinced hat something
ought to be done for them. There
are some few exceptions in the
larger towns, but not by any
means enough to offset lack of
system Of education. From "Por.
to Rico from a Woman's Point of
View" by Mrs. Guy V. Henry, in
the American Monthly Review of
Reviews for August.
