No Recess in EScucIa Dc NiiaS.
An lnovation With
Satisfactory Results

Superintendent Armstrong has been try.
ing an interesting experiment in the Girls
School in San Juan, viz that of doing
away with the customary Is minute recess
in each of the two daily sessions and dis
missing the class half hour earlier in the
afternoon.
Tue play ground of this school which il
situated on the Plaza Colon is hot ant
sunny and the children after each recess
returned to the class rooms in heated
C )ndition that untitled them for good cork
AS it was not wise to let them play or
the plaza or enter the neighboring house.
The recess acaS abolished and Is minute
classes in drawing and sewing now occupy
what was formerly recess time.
The results of this change have been Sc
satisfactory to pupils and teachers alike
that the experiment may be repeated il
some of the other schools.

tie terminals of the Philadelphia and Rea-

Philadelphia, are being extended on a lar

While Mr.. Morgan might like to d. fr

of the White Star, Cunard, Hamburg

that such a combination was neither desira.

impossible. The subsidy feature of the
WLite Star aud Cunard Companies would
seriously interfere with the sale of vessels
which are part of the British naval aux

One of the most important branches Of

that of any other Navy III the would, al

Requests for Information on var Gus

is given without reserve. 10 some cases
foreign naval authorities have cIered TO

information relative TO the harbors Of Porto

to all shipping interests connected with the
Island.
This was service imperatiyey neces

In this connection 1t may not he amiss
to call attention to the good work of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey in Porto Rico.
Their work is not yet completed but it
has sufficiently advanced to show that
their report, when published, will be an
exceedingly interesting and valuable one.

over the: workers until the faces and
hands of all were black and grimy.
Scores of men rushed upon the fire line

short grass, and stamped out the
flame with their feet, with rags, with
old brooms, with pieces of carpeting
and bedding torn from their own

groups threw themselves upon it and
