ABOUT PORTO RICO.
Capt. Gardner Talks Entertaining
ly of the Needs vf the Island.


Washington, Jan. "a IN Porto Rico
is to become n credit TO the United
States" says Capt Augustus p. Gard
ner, assistant adjutant general OF vol
unteers, In an interesting report to
Assistant Secretary OF War Meikeljohn
upon the educational and other affairs
Of the island Of Porto Rico, land not
q continual thorn in her side, II Is as
certain as the rising OF the sun that
the work OF reconstruction must be
done by men OF ofdisinterested motives"
In considering. says Capt Gardner.
the various elements which 60 to
make up the social system OF Porto
Rico, the most worthy OF 0 detailed
examination Is the method OF eduea-
| tion. IL Is on this branch that the
fruits which 1t is hoped may be gather
ed in the futurs must all ripen.
Capt Gardner says 1t Is safe TO aver
age the number OF schools inthe island
at 600 at the outside, of which less
than 40 are private or religious schools.
The common schools are divided into
superior. elementary. auxiliary and
rural, with one teacher to each school,
whose salary ranges from 1000 pesos,
or say e6Oo per year, in superior
school Of the first class to 800 pesos per
year In rural school. The superior
schools exist only 10 the seven depart
mental cities, In each Of which there
are supposed to be two superior
schools, one for each sex.
Summarizing the situation as 1
whole, there exists on the island I
fairly good skeleton on which TO con
struct school system. The difficulty
arises from the scarcity OF competen
and reliable teachers. In the natur'
Of things, for the present but littl
progress can be made by American
teachers sent to the island. Thei
sphere OF usefulness will not includ
Porto Rico until such time as a know
edge of the English language has be
gun to permeate all classes
With regard to the religious que:
. tion, Capt. Gardner says 1t does nc
appear that the inhabitants OF the II
lands have ever taken their religio
with any degree Of seriousness, prol

See that the fish is carefully cleaned
and cut into pieces after the bone IS

Springs He was the son of the late Dr.
Richard s. Palmer. of New York city. and
the grandson of Courtland T. Palmer
whose large estate he inherited. His fa-
ther died while he was still youth, and
Mrs. Palmer married George G. Haven.
Young Palmer. who was graduate of the
Columbia class of 1889. made his home
with his mother and stepfather. When he
left college his friend. Capt c. F. Good
rich, L. S. N, offered him the post of COM
mander's private secretary, which offer Mr.
Palmer accepted. and for six years he
cruised with Captain Goodrich on the Con
cord and jamestown. Returning from these
voyages. he bought the schooner yacht
Marguerite. aboard which he spent much
of his summer. Later he bought the
schooner Iampa, on which he made pro-
tracted voyage, cruising among the West
Indies. in the Mediterranean and the North
and Baltic Seas. Emperor William of
Germany saw the Yampa while she was
lying at Kiel and was SO pleased with her
that he asked Mr.. Palmer to sell her to
him. After returning to New York Mr.
Palmer complied with the Emperor's re-
quest sending the Yampa over to him last
summer. At the outbreak of the war with
Spain Mr. Palmer Joined an expedition sent
out by the Government to establish signal
stations along the Atlantic Coast On this
tour he went from Maine to Florida, per-
fecting the signal service. On his return
he enlisted an ablebodied seaman on the
st. Louis, which was then in command of
his friend. Captain Goodrich He was
soon promoted TO ensign. At the landing
of the troops at Santiago he was put in
command of a cutter and was occupied for
month in the Decentralization of troops.

in wet clothes. As a result he contracted
heavy cold and was put on the sick list.
After the St. Louis had transported Ad-
mlral tervera and his officers to Ports
mouth MIR. Palmer was taken to New York
suffering from appendicitis. In July a sue
cessful operation was performed and in
August he was sent out to Colorado
Springs His mother and step-sister ac-
companied him. For time he seemed to
improve. but the exposure to which he had
been subjected in Cuba brought on a COM
plication of diseases from which he died
Mr.. Palmer is said to have been one of the
wealthiest young men in New York.
