FHE NEW YORK Sun prints

NEW YORK sun prints a
report of Commissioner Of
Education NJ. c. Brumbaugh
of San Juan OF the progress that IS
being made IN the educational sys-
TEN Of Porto Rico. The document
contains statements and figures that
vii be highly gratifying to every
one.
Mr.. Brumbaugh says that the per-
.centage of children of a school age
who attended the public schools dur
ing the last year is 70. This rate is
only 4 per cent below that of Massa-
chusetts, and is higher than the rates
Of Pennsylvania, New York, Kansas,
Virginia. Texas and New Mexico,
which range from IA to 81 per cent.
Here Is good proof Of the popularity,
OF the American educational system
among the islanders. If more were
needed, K could be had in the petit
tions that are coming in for the es-
tablishmen. Of schools in nev dis
tricts.
IN the work of extending the edu-
cational system the authorities have
not been idle In January of TIL =
year. says Mr. Brumbaugh, we did
not have ono school house Of our
OWL" Since that time eighteen agri-
cultural schools have beeL built end
e:ght more are in process Of erection.
Besides these, nine other schools
have been erected, or are in prepare
ton. IN addition to these buildings,
which are owned BY the educational
department., there are 400 rural
schools in operation AID 1,20O more
were to have been ADDED on the Both
of September.
Spain had 10 rural schools at all.
and those in the cities were not open
to the children of the poorer classes.
Looking at these conditions and
comparing them with the educa-
iional advantages that are being
profered and 50 eagerly received,
one is justified III predicting that in
one generation the island will make
a greater advancement than it made
under a century of Spanish rule.
Tie intolerable conditions which
the Foraker act brought about have
been ended, and there is now a pros
pect Of prosperous conditions and
money in the public fund. An island
which has shown such a fair state of
prosperity under a reign Of ignor-
ance can be counted on to make a
mighty advance when an educated
aud thoroughly trained generation
step into the places of their illiterate
forefathers.

Admiral Dewey carries his lunch every
oay to the navy yard, where the Schley
court of inquiry is sitting There is not
a decent lunch room within a radius Of a
miie or the navy yard. and the admiral

The basket is of the finest Filipino

that makes it look seasick when con-

The crowd enjoys the beribbOned lunch

appears to enjoy It's contents, but so far
as can be ascertained no one has had the

There is a musical sidewalk out in the
navy yard. Tt leads to the gunners'
work shop from the wide gate that closes
the main entrance. It is formed of iron
plates about two feet long and twenty
inches wide, and the officers who live in
the houses alongside the walk say they
never noticed its musical qualities until
the throngs began to walk over it on
their way TO the court of inquiry. Now
dozens OF men can be found in the navy
yard who are willing to swear that a

this particular style of walking. can play

can a skilled musician on a piano. The
heels OF the walker. when one steps

to those Of a xvlODhone. Some claim
that they have heard several we'll known
