Question Of Providing Schooling for
Half a Million.
Where and how shall the 100000
children of school age in Cuba be pro-
yided for, where there is only room
and teachers for 100000? If we could
reach the ears of the mothers of the
$4,000, 900 of people of the great and
powerful n&sion to the north, whose
children are all comfortably clothed
and provided with a snug little desk
in the hundreds of thousands of school
buildings where education Is as free
as air, we, would ask them to come
here and watch the faces of these un.
cared-for waits as they see their more
fortunate fellows go by with their
satchel or packet of books on their
way to school, as the writer has done.
We are sure they would be deeply
moved. II their thoughts could be
portrayed in words as their feelings
are upon their faces. they would
wiring tears from a stone image.
Surely, if the truth of the condition
of these 100000 children could 3e
brought to the minds of these moth-
ers, some action would be taken, some
movement set on foot by which this
moral tragedy could be brought to
an end. For 800 years it has shroud-
ed the greater part of the people OF
these islands in mental darkness. In
the name of God and humanity may
it now terminate!
Surely some public movement might
be set on foot and money raised by
subscription, even if it cannot be
supplied by act of Congress. Some tf
the Rockefellers or Carnegies, who
are endowing colleges and public
libraries with their millions, might
be persuaded to take little interest
in these forsaken, neglected little
boys and girls who are now only able
to hopelessly and sadly look at the
outside of schoolhouse, and who,
unless times quickly change for the
better on this island, are doomed TO
grow up in ignorance and vice, and
