CUBAN 'TEACHERS AT HARVARD.
PRESIDENT ELIOT CoRRECTs AN EXAGGER-
ATED REPORT FROM HAVANA

Cambridge. Mass. Feb. IS (SpecaD. -Presi-
dent Charles w. Eliot Of Harvard University,
when seen tonight concerning the report that
Harvard had offered to furnish free tuition in
the Harvard Summer School for 1000 Cuban
teachers and to provide for them during that
time, gave a detailed statement, in which he
contradicted many points.
He said that Harvard had made offer of
this kind request came from Cuba in a letter
from Mr.. Frye asking if Harvard would give
tuition in the Summer School to these teachers,
and Harvard replied that she would. The num-
ber 1000 was not stipulated, was there any
promise made to provide for these teachers dur
ing their stay in Cambridge. Such under
taking President Eliot said, would be absurd.
AS to further details in the matter nothing has
been decided. The courses which the Cuban
teachers would take would depend largely upon
the number of them who could speak English
readily. and the number who came would de-
pend on the arrangements which would be made
with the Government for transportation
President Eliot expressed decided approval of
the plan and said that he thought it a
most judiCiGuS one. The new influences which
the Cuban teachers would meet would have a
beneficial effect education in Cuba AS to
the plan Of the teachers spending six weeks In
travel and sightseeing, the good results of such
idea must be clear to every one, and there is
little doubt that much assistance would be given
by railroads and many of the municipalities to
say nothing of private generosties.
