The question of the right Of colleges to
compel students TO attend religious w0r-
ship, which has for a long time been much
debated at Williams College, has been
brought into great prominence by John b.
Gale, an alumnus, OF Williamssown, Mass,
and a prominent lawyer, and he believes
compulsory worship is against the law OF
the State of Massachusetts, which says
that no interference shall re rnade by any
man with another's religious worship. Mr..
Gale intends to bring proceedings against
the Williams College corporation at once
in order that the matter may te finally de-
termined. The student body ard the facul-
ty are much stirred up over the matter.

PORTO RICO SCHOOLS.
Children Are Intelligent and Very
 TractAble.

Trectable.
 Washington Special Chicago Tribune: Porto Rican children in the schools gre. as a rule, bright, intelligent ana tractabla. according to reports of th@ Superintendent of Education. They have not the superabundant vitality 0A American children and are not given | to mischief making and pranks during school hours. If they have a fault, iA might be said they are almost too pliable that they receive new ideas and impressions too easily without thought.
 This characteristic is in part racial. but has been accentuated by the sue perficial methods of teaching formerly in vogue.
 In town schools a child's age is a fairly good Index to his advancement, but in rural districts boys of 12 and 14 years are frequently found who are just beginning to read The best pro- kress in study Is made between the ages of and 10 years. Few boys and no girls over 14 years of age attend school. With able teachers they make rapid progress. but the work to be O9 permanent value must be reviewed fre- quently. as the tendency toward super ficial study Is exceedingly strong.
 In the cases of irregular attendance
  the country districts many heads of fanilies manifest most surprising indifference ao to the education of their children. This Is not true to such an extent in the towns. and the town schools are all full to overhowing.
 As compared with American children the Porto Rican5 do not advance s6 rapidly for various reasons. In tho country the attendance is irregular, ia rf h0A xrlA weather. and long distances. The children in the country and the poorer ones of the town are not properly fed The principal food they have is cofIee. rice, beano and codflsh, when 1t can be obtained. Many do not attend school on account of the lack of eloth-. ing. n

No Oil Pools in the Gulf of Mexico.

No Oil Pools in the Gulf or Mexleos Philadelphia Profits.
 The Gulf of Mexico, contains no oil pools. The story of their existence immediately south of. the Beaumont fields has been exploded. One of the first batch of the corps of engineers and geologists sent out by the Uni- Versity of Texas under the law passed bS the Legislature at It's last session. authorizing a mineral survey of the State. has thoroughly investigated thla eo-called oil poul. They have just completed their work so far as thia pool Is concerned.
 Dr. W. B. Phillips. professor of field geology of the University, who Is at the head of the State Mineral Survey, re@ ceiyed several cans of the alleged oil which was taken from this Gulf pool. 1t took but a casual investigation t6 determine that the substance which haa been taken for oil is nothing mora than sea ooze. which comes from tha decomposition of animal matter found in the bottom of the Gulf.
 This ooze when stirred rises to thG surface and has the effect of Quiets ing the waves the same as oil. ThiG pool Is now just west of Sabine Jetty. It has moved more then eight milea within the past few years. It covers an area cf about five square miles.
 The character of this ooze examined by pr. Phillips shows conclusively that the so-called oil of this pool haa no connection with the oil fields Of Beaumont.
