The Madrid impartial takes the
Spanish government severely to task
for announcing reduction of $4,000
in the budget of 1904 for public edu-
cation. This reduces the total appro-
priation for this purpose to $7,O00,O00.
The impartial asserts that the coun.
try is already so backward in educa,
tion and means of culture that all
hope Of progress has almost disap.
peared. For this reason the paper
says that the appropriation for schools
should be greater than that for any
other purpose. The percentage of IL
