TRADE lWIIllrH PORTO RICO.
Great Increase of Exports and I'm
ports Over Previous Years


Commerce Between the United States
and Porto RICO during the two months in
which the new tariff act has been IN cpe-
ration shows an enormous Increase over
that OF the corresponding two months OF
the preceding year. This is the more OBJ
seTVable because OF the assertion which
has been frequently made during. the past
few months that the island is practically
impoverished since the storm OF last Au-
gust Notwithstanding the conditions due
to the storm both as to material for ex-
portation and facilities for purchase, the
exports TO the United States in May and
June. 1900 We're so per cent in excess of
those Of the corresponding months OF 1899
and the imports from the United states
We're more than double those Of the same
months in 1899.
In May and June, 1899, the imports into
the United States from Porto Rico, as
shown by the reports of the Treasury Blu
reau Of Statistics were 81 ,461 1913. and IN
May and June 1860, they were s., .12e.
In May and June, 1899, the exports TO FOR
to Rico from the United States were $685.
9S7, and in May and June. 19 they were
S1,5S7. 47S. Thus the imports into the Unit
ed States from Porto Rico show in May ana
June, 1Se0, an increase of 90 per cent over
those of the same months of 1899. both II
| which occurred prior to the storm OF that
year, and the exports from the United
/ States TO Porto Rico show an increase OF
40 per cent over the corresponding months
OF 1899.
The figures of the total commerce with
/ Cuba Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philip
pines, show in each case q marked growth
especially in exports. To Cuba, the total
I exports of the year are $26,513.6i3, against
! SIS, 6l6 377 in the fiscal year 1899, ana So
/ SOL C5s in 1898 To Porto Rico the exports
/ in 1909 are 81 $40, 435. against 2.6S5,S4S il
1899, and $1,505, 945 in 1898, To the Ha-
/ waiian Islands the exports for the veal

1899, and s., 90T 155 in 1898 To the Phi

SCIENTIFIC Child-stuas.

DR. c. Stanley Hall, President of Clark
University, makes in this months ''Fo-
rum a strong plea for scientific child
study He says that there is much I'M
reasonable opposition to this on the ground
that it will develop self-consciousness in
the child. and cites the illustrated account.
= bl:shed in a Chicago yellow journal of
norzIal school girl who wanted to fill out
a questionable on crying, and who, after
Waiting in vain for a fortnight. until her
composition was due. actually pinched Eer
oc3y brothers ears TO get material. In re-
ply to such absurdities as this one might
say that if the girl had 10 wait two
weeks to hear her little brother cry, and
then was Obliged to produce the wall by
artificial means he must have been a
somewhat remarkable infant.
Scientific child-study. as a rule involves
only such observations as fond young pa
rents generally make without any scientific
end in view. Anybody who has been in
the house with a small baby knows Of
what importance arealI its works and ways,
and with what joy its doting mother halls
the fact that it has learned to recognize its
own foot at sight There is no particular
reason why all this close and affectionate
study should not be made TO serve the ends
of science, if the scientific man sees that
| it can.
| When it comes to the study of older
I children, however, there is some danger
| for amateurs. The child of former genera
! tions, perhaps, suffered from too little
! study and consideration. The child of to-
| day is likely TO suffer from too much. Lit

| century, was taught certain plain rule!
