SCHOOLS In CUBA.
Are $4,000 Pupils Now, While in 'e7
There We're Only 10000.

New York, Jan IA E. Frye Of
Highland, Cal, who returned yesterday
from Havana, where he spent two years
as superintendent Of public schools in
Cuba, said last night:
There has been a great Improvement
in the condition of the schools in Cuba
While there were not more than 10000
pupils in 1897, there were 142, 900 in May
1900 The highest number ever regis
tered before the war was $4,000 and the
attendance never exceeded II, 600. There
were no public schools, in reality, under
Spanish rule, and the school property
had little or no value. Recently General
Wood got the idea that many of the
schools reported by me. and for which
money was being drawn, did not exist
He gathered this by information sub
mitted by subordinates- In my reports
reported the number of aulaS (schooI
roOnns) while the military officers count
ed only the escuelas (schOol houses) thus
confounding matters But soon ex-
planned the facts to the satisfaction OF
Governor Wood.
Under the system I have tnaugu-
rated no fraud is possible in the schools
of Cuba Under the old system there
were "a professors under pay in the uni
versity Of Havana, where there were
only 335 Students
Mr. Frye says that the Cuban chill
dren are very apt pupils and learn with
great rapidity.

THEssMAN FROM NEBRASKA
He Wants Kansas Exemption Done
Away With.

Assessment and taxation measures will
have considerable prominence in this leg
islature, as there IS a well defined senti-
ment for uniformity and equality in as
sessmentS over the state.
In line with this sentiment Representa-
tive J. w. Bogenrien of Jewell has a
proposition to do away with the $500 ex
emption that is allowed every. head of a
family in this state. 1t will have to be
done by constitutional amendment and
Representative Bogenrieff says that he
will propose to the legislature that the
proposition be submitted to the people Of
the State for a. vote.
He says the time has gone by when the
exemption was a necessity to relieve strug-
Cling settlers of hardships and induce i'm
migration Nov it is an Involvement to
people to try to evade their just share
of taxation by scrimping down to bring
their belongings under the $500 mark. Be-
sides, with the system Of assessing at one
third of true valuation, SO prevalent, a
taxpayer gets q practical rebate of $500.
Mr. Bogenrieff lives on the state line in
Jewell county and attained some distinc-
ton in the last house as 1.-The man from
Nebraska. He lives fifteen miles from
the nearest railroad town on the Rock
Island in Kansas and his postoffice adj
dress is Red Cloud, Neb.
