WASHINGTON, D. c., November r.
superintendent PEARS, Of Haskell In
dian Institute, Kansas, in his annual re-
port, says that although at times the
results of the work of education among
the Indians do not satisfy the onlookers.
to those who are in the work, and there
fore have opportunities to observe the
gradual development of individuals, there
is more and more encouragement and sat
isfaction. AS proof of the permanent
good results Of training OF the Indians,
the report says that of ninety-flVe grad
yates previous to the classes Of 1907. at
least seventy-seven are at work earning
their own living, and In many instances
aiding parents, or supporting IN re-
spectacle way little family OF their own.
Of the forty-f1ve graduates of the class
of 1902, it is stated that there is rot one
but is qualified to make record equal
to the earlier graduates. The under
graduates also are making excellent re-
cords The fact. however. that the per-
centage of successes among under-sradu-
ates is not as large as among graduates

ton. said:
THE election went off remarkably we'll.
The insular police proved able and ETH
cient, and the quiet orderly manner in
which the election was conducted in every
district of the island reflects credit upon
the people of Porto Rico. This was
the first real contest, because two years
ago, when the first election for dele
gate to Washington and a House of Dele
gates IN the insular legislature was held
only one party went to the polls. This
time both Republicans and Federals
voted in nearly all the precincts, and the
Federal party made a good showing. The
present Republican delegate to Washing

large majority
Professor Lindsay says reports OF riot
and blodshed in Porto Rico were much
exaggerated. ION the first registration
day October IA. he said, there was
much excitement. and some disorder in
places, but at time was there any
danger of disturbances with which the
civil government and the police could not
cope successfully. Nor were the dis
turtances any more serious than those
that occur at election times in some parts
of nearly every State in the union
