PORTO RICO SCHOOLS

Worthless Teachers and Dangerous Poll
ticians Denounced.
Washington, D. c., Nov. I'm. G.
Brumbaugh, commissioner of educa-
ton for Porto Rico. says the school
system now in operation there In
cludes 500 teachers and $4,000 pupils.
This Is only beginning. as there are
100000 children of school age without
school facilities. The report says the
present school law should be abolished
at the coming session of the insular
legislature and a new law passed. A
change in the licensing Of teachers is
needed to protect good teachers from
the competitions and Vaccinations Of
worthless teachers and from the per-
nicious interference Of politicians"
The report urges closer supervision.
One group of American teachers is
called seekers after novelty and new
experiences, mere adventures, who
imposed upon the administration and
the children, and who used the salary
and position of teacher solely to see
a new country for year and then re-
turn fortunately these are gone"
the report continues, land the better
teachers remain to carry on really
helpful and arduous task. The people
OF Porto Rico have patiently borne
with these adventures and quietly
longed for their departure.
Thousands of children In the island,
the report says, are half-clothed, half
fed, and half-housed. At least 80 per
cent Of all the people are illiterate.
There are no public school buildings,
and no public colleges or universities.

Chicago. Nov. To- -Barricaded In a
small room in the steamer Tioga. John
kerwin. q demented stowaway, armed
with hatchet, defied the crew Of the
boat and threatened death to any one
who interfered with him. When the
( steamer reached Chicago and tied up
at the Rush street bridge Kerwin was
still raving, and an appeal for aid was
sent to the East Chicago avenue police
station. Policemen Schanss and Maher
were sent to the boat to take the de-
mented man into custody. Kerwin was
still in the room, armed with the
Ratchet, and he warned the police to
keep away. He was finally captured
BY Schauss, who climbed over the side
OF the boat and entered the room
from the rear through a window hole.
Kerwin was occupied in watching the
persons in front OF him and he did not
notice the policeman approaching from
behind until he was seized. He was
overroWered and disarned. He was
taken to the East Chicago avenue po-
lice station, where he continued his
rawlings, and 1t was necessary to place
him in a strait jacket. Captain John
Wulke, in charge OF the steamer. found
Kerwin on the boat shortly after it
left Buffalo on Saturday. He was
hidden in the hold, and when dis
covered pleaded not to be sent back
to Buffalo, and agreed to work for his
passage to Chicago.
i Kerwin was given employment and
worked almost increasingly until near
ly into Chicago. Last evening he ap-
peared on deck and threatened to kill
the entire crew. Second Mate James
Burns attempted to pacify the man,
but he warned every one away from
him and brandished the Ratchet thre1t-
eningly. Members of the crew seized
him from behind and he was overpoT-
cred and placed in room below. A
Ratchet had been left in the room and.
securing this, he broke down the door.
Then, placing two chairs in front OF
him, he defed the members of the
crew to modest him. At times he
would threaten to come out and at
tack the crew, and when the harbor
was reached he still refused to be
pacified. Kerwin is 80 years old and
asserts that his family is we'll con-
nected In Buffalo. He had been drink
ing heavily for some time previous to
hiding himself on the boat and de-
clared that he desired to leave Buff
falo for good. The steamer Tioga Is
the boat that blew up several years
ago, killing nearly thirty men.
