AMERIcANIz1NG PORTO RICO.
introduction of a School System
Which VIII Generate Amer.
lean Ideas.

In the capital of Porto Rico a uni
Versity on the United States plan has
Just been organized, except that one
Of its ten or II trustees is still lacking.
Sir William Berkeley, one Of Charles
lis colonial governors of Virginia, is
reported to have expressed himself
thus at one critical time: Thank
God, there are no free schools or
printing presses in this colony, and I
hope there will be none for hundred
years, for learning has brought DISC
bedience and heresy and sects into the
world, and printing has divulged these
and other libels."
Berkeley's idea of two and a quar-
ter centuries ago became obsolete in
England's colonies long ago. That
idea has never had any standing in the
United States since this country was
established The school and the news
paper have been in the front line of
the American advance in its march
across the continent Both of them
were planted in Porto Rico and in Ha-
wall just as soon as the United States
authority passed to them. In the three
years and quarter in which the
United States administered Cuba it es-
tablished public school system which
Mr.. Palma's government found ready to
Its hand when it entered power. 1t
has been the aim of that government,
according to the expressions of it's
newspapers and officials, to build upon
that foundation which the United
States created, and thus give their
country better start than any other
nation in the Latin-American quarter
Of the world has ever had, says the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat
The United States proceeded in the
same way with Porto Rico, with this
Inference, that its authority over
Porto Rico was absolute and perma-
nent, while in the case of Cuba it was
only provisional and. temporary Porto
Rico is not opopulous or rich as is CulA.
The chances for change in the condi-
tons as respects schools and the gen.
eral educational appliances are not so
marked as they would be in the larger
Island. The revolution which has been
wrought in Porto Rico, therefore, does
not strike the eye so conspicuously as
1t did in Cuba. A revolution has taken
place, nevertheless, whose conse-
quences will be vast and permanent
Porto Rico has, in embryo, an Ameri-
can school system, which will be de-
veloped along the lines familiar in this
country. This will generate American
ideas, and will lead to the granting
Of American privileges and the crea-
ton of American responsibilities
Some of the papers in this country are
talking derisively about the movement
for admission to statehood which has
started in Porto Rico. Statehood for
the island is not close at hand, but
the free school system which is being
established there is preparing the
groundwork for the intelligence, the
public spirit, the modernity and the
general and particular Americanism
which will make it an acceptable men,
Der of the union at day which is not
very far distant.

What She Thought. .

after consulting the thermometer, came to
the conclusion that she preferred the pub.

While Sir Thomas Upton repeatedly
expressed his confidence in Shamrock
ILLS ability to win back the Americas
Cup, it appeared that his confidence
was not shared by those who were ac-
lively concerned in the management
of the Shamrocks. That Designer
Fife, who had a reputation at stake,
and who knew the challenger as a
father knows his child, had grave
doubts as to Shamrock ILLS ability to
cope with Reliance was evidenced by
the fact that under his orders the bow
spirit Of the challenger was length
ened three feet.
So radical a change in the rig of the
yacht was important, not so much be-
cause it increased the area of the head
sails and changed the trim of the
yacht, but chiefly because, on account
of having been effected on the very

satisfactory Prices on Early Shipments to
Europe.
Washington, D.. C.-The Department
or Agriculture has continued its ship
ment of fresh fruit to Europe this sea-
son, and has just begun to send over
early apples from New York, New
Jersey and Delaware orchards. The
market has proved to be good, and our
fruit has no trouble in competing with
the English and French apples. In
fact, the shipments last year found
such ready acceptance that the first
shipments this year were looked for
and snapped up at once.
The first consignment of early APP
pies came from Delaware, and was
e on the steamship Minnetonka
July %. The returns were received
at the department showing satisfac-
tory prices net at the pier in New
York. They are somewhat higher
than prices realized at home. The
Government will continue the ship
ments on into the fail until the Eng
ilsh and French crop completes with
the American, and after that the
sua shipments of winter apples will
go forward until the Australian crop
comes into market.
