Education in Porto Rico.

One of the gratifying things con-
nccted with the American occupation
of Porto Rico has been the eagerness
of the natives to secure the ad-
vantagcs of education. NJ. G. Brum-
baugh. commissioner of education al
Porto Rico writing under date of
August 13. says:
I'VE planned summer normal
school for this city for ten weeks, be-
ginning July a. We thought we
might have 200 students from among
the teachers of the island. To our
amazement when the school opened we
had over 500 pupils. and it took the
telegraph service whole day and
night to bring in here a faculty to
take charge of these pupils the next
morning. but we did it and the school
is a great success. 1t has been the
largest triumph for American educa-
tionaI methods that the island has yet
witnessed. and as an immediate out
growth we are now laying the founda
ton of large Insular Normal schoo;
building in the suburban city of RIO
Piedras. seven miles by railroad from
this city. We have seventy acres of
frst-class ground. beautifully situated,
and we are erecting a school building
thereon at 4 cost of 49,. 900 and we Will
open school on the first Of November"
This is a fair sample Of what Ameri-
can progress and enterprise is doing
to enlighten a people less than three
per cent of whom could read or write
folds of the American flag.

Town or County Poor Houses.

The Ellsworth American gives an in
the recent convention of county COM
mssioners in that city on the question
Would it be wise for the poor of our
State to be cared for by counties in
stead OF by towns as ut present."
This question was suggested by Hon.
O. f. Fellows of Bucksport who is
prominently mentioned in connection
with the speakership of the next House
of Representatives. He alluded to the
subject casually on the train in con-
versation with the Penobscot COM
missioners with the result that it was
proved the most fruitful theme of dis
cussion of the entire session. While
the question was up Mr.. Fellows hap
pened into the hall for a moment. and
was called upon to state his views
upon it which he did very clearly and
forcefuly. This plan of caring for
the poor mas IOHS Ueei III Hid'ti'e III
the neighboring state of New Hamp-
shire. The principal argument in its
favor is that of economy. Instead of
each town and city maintaining a sep
arate poor house. there would be but
one under county control. 1t is
claimed by those who favor the plan
that this would make better care OF
the poor possible at a fraction of the
EXPENSE now incurred. 1t is further
urged that such a plan would avoid
large part of the expensive litigation
between towns growing out of pauper
cases. Those who oppose the plan
argue that it is not a humane thing to
separ2te people. whom misfortune has
made public charges from their home
community and associations.
So far as the discussion Of the mat
ter by the convention Of county COM
miesioners was concerned. no formal
EXPRESSION was taken. the matter being
referred to a committee with instruc-
lions to investigate and report at the
next convention. 1t is not unlikely
that the matter may come up for con-
sideration at the next session of the
legislation.

me- ou,leek On The Corn and wheat Crops.

The indictat lions that Europe will be
compelled to depend upon the United
States. to q much larger extent than
ever before. for food stuffs during the
coming year, Under ordinary condi-
tons the needs of Europe require
about 664 900. 600 bushels of wheat an
nually The best authorities on the
continent according to 1.-THE Mark
Lane Express of London. estimate the
wheat crop of the United Kingdom
at Sc, 600, 900 bushels, that of France a:
Belgium and Holland at 10000. 600
bushels, a total of 3?6.0OO.OOO bushels
for the great wheat importing area of
Northwestern Europe. This leads the
great countries of the continent con-
fronted with Il wheat shortage
amounting to 2SS. 100000 bushels 1t is
wheat crop of the United States will
aggregate 675,O00,O0O bushels. The
needs of our own people will absorb
about 400, OO0. 900 bushels of this. leav-
ing a surplus of 5000. 900 bushels. or
just about enough to make good the
European shortage. There can be no
doubt but what the market for all our
food products this year will be eX
ceedingly active, and. as a result, many
t,,,l
into the pockets of our farmers to add
to the general prosperity of the cOun-
try.
The favorable wea ther of the past
few weeks has helped out the corn crop
wonderfully 1t is thought that if it
continues it may bring the yield up to
!, 200, 900, 600 as compared with a crop of
| 1000, 200. 900 which was promised at the
beginning of July-a vastly smaller
than was predicted at the height of
the drouth. Moreover, this shrinkage
in the total yield will involve no less
to the farmers as whole. being con-
siderably more than offset by the rise
in price. Good judges now figure that
this years total corn crop will market
| for fully $40. 900, 900 more than the crop
of last year.
Taken all together the year 1901
seems destined to pass into history as
Il record breaker in prosperity for the
agricultural as well as the other great
interests of our country.
