The American Sunday School Union has
been Joined by other Sunday School soei-
ties in an endeavor to cover the island of
Porto Rico with undenominational Sun
day Schools. The union, which has its
headquarters in Philadelphia, is undenoIl-
national, and has been the pioneer in the
founding of thousands of schools through
out the west and southwest. 1t works
only within the limits of the United
States. and, hence, does not go to Cuba.
These organizations have asked Major
General o. o. Howard to cooperate in
this work of planting Sunday Schools.
There is to be named, in addition to
General Howard, a superintendent for the
union. Under him there are to be en-
ployed at least twenty Sunday School
workers. They are to take active charge
of the schools, securing, when possible,
local assistance. 1t is deemed possible to
plant at least half a hundred schools dur
ing the coming spring and summer.
English will be taught in all of them, as
well as the Bible. General Howard mas
given his promise to go and ~naugurate
been guaranteed, not alone to pay sal
aries. but to erect where needed rooms IN
which schools will meet.

Against Cardinal Gibbens's movement
for re-opening the Indian question, in its
relations to school, petitions OF protest
have been sen to Congress by the Amer1-
can Baptist Board, the American Mission
airy Board. the Congregational Home Mis-
sion boards, the American Board, the
Episcopal Domestic and Foreign boards,
the Methodist Missionary Board, the
Presbyterian Home Mission Board and
the Reformed Church Board. These So
cieties disapprove of the naming of q
Congressional Inquiry Committee, and ask
that the general Government now adcpt
a definite, permanent and uniform prl1l-
ciple for advancing education among the
common chool system. Tae protest OF
these Protestant boards is to offset, ii
possible. the petition of Cardinal Gibbons
in behalf of himself and the Archbishops
of the Roman Catholic Church of America
who want a Congressional inquiry instead
of departmental inquiries. In order
as they say, that the merit and defects
of contract schools and Government
schools may be shown, and not kept q
office.
