A Fopyish Superintendent.

DR.. NATHAN C. ScHAEFFER, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction OF the
State Of Pennsylvania, seems to be a
Bourbon, an educational bunker. The
fire of modern methods does not burn
in his withered veins. He sits contemp-
tuously apart from the new studies.
Arid aloof, incurious of contemporary
triumphs, he is not ashamed to put into
his annual report this surprising and
regrettable opinion:
I'm adjusting the individual to civilized life no
studies are OF equal Importance with the tradi-
,ional three Rs"
Pray, who and what is "the indi-
vidual'? We don't believe there is mo
sich person. Units have been counted
out Millions exactly unlike have taken
their places; and these millions are not
to be fed on such scrannel stuff as the
three Rs, those foolish fetishes of our
unfortunate predecessors.
The three Rs may have done their
trivial service in ruder, more uniformed,
more severely commercial and practical
age; but they belong to the Old Red
Schoolhouse period. There are old men
and women who mastered these absurd
subjects and thought they had enough.
In these cultured" times people want
something more, and they want it orna-
mental. In Chicago there are wise
children who study municipal reform,
street cleaning methods, the scientific
disposition of garbage and other fasci-
mating branches of sociology, the uni
versal science Even in less thoroughly
modern communities there is diligent
cultivation of music drawing and many
arts and sciences that decorate and en-
broder the youthful intellectuals. What
is the sense Of writing in world OF type
writer's? What is the use of reading in
a world of monographs? And II arith-
metic be merely useful to clerks and
bookkeepcrs and so on, it is unbcautiful
and unworthy of an aesthetic generation.
Merchants complain that most of the
bows who reply to the advertisement
Wanted" are not the boys they want,
can't figure" or write well, and are only
fit to be budding porters. This merely
shows that merchants, conservative
class, are still full of the old supersti-
ton about the three Rs and need to 60 to
school.
What Dr. SCHAEFFBR should have
written is this:
in adjusting children TO improved education
all studies are OF equal importance except the ira
dl,lonal three RS
English grammar itself is being adj
justed. Curiously enough, it is return
ing to old habits. Happily freed from
servitude to the three Rs, school chill
dren have reasserted an ancient preroga-
tive Of English speech. AS they 60 home

laden with books. it is a JOY to hear them

THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF
PORTO RICO,
In the Light OF Recent Developments in
Panama.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sir: While
we may contemplate with qualification the
value to ourselves. commercially. Of this one
of our water reached possessions. events are
moving so rapidly In Panama and elsewhere
in South America that Porto Rico's value to us.
strategically, has become matter Of prime
importance.
In his inaugural address. September. 1901,
Governor Hunt pointed out the signin cance
of the island 8 position. He said: "Transpor-
tation lines will multiply as relations grow
more intimate. and the harbors of Porto Rico
should contribute to this commercial ex-
pansion." And President Mckinley, in his
memorable speech at Buffalo. said
Our Capacity to produce has developed so
enormously and our products have so multi
piled that the problem OF more markets re-
auires our urgent and immediate attention
Only a broad and enlightened policy will keep
what we have. No other policy will get more
In these times OF marvellous business energy
and gain we ought to be looking to the future
strengthening the weak places in our indus
trial and commercial systems, that we may
be ready for any storm or strain"
In this pregnant paragraph President
McKnle was referring particularly TO the
need of expanding our trade with South
America.

Is only 100 miles distant by water travel from
San Juan. The Windward Passage is only
$50 miles distant TO the west, Steamships
from New York to Panama would pass thus

without mourning much delay.
The fact that Porto Rico practically con-
trols all steamship routes of the Atlantic
tropics. the Caribbean Sea. and the West

The Postscript Ouesti on.

To rHg EDITOR OF The SUN Sir Can woman
come between the ardent lover, IL. H. g." and the
insane iady's friend. Il. T. H." In their ridiculous
discussion OF feminine correspondence?
II either OF them could hear waa, the women who
speak OF their silly dnvel say they would truly
desire TO hc "the mereSt OF men"
Why should women be dennite' Do men like
women who project thoughts Into their peaceful
world, DO they admire the woman who plays 50
to speak, with her cards face up! Not since Adam.
The girl with the pretty smile and rosy cheek will
attract them in droves. while the poor thing who
thinks will be left to solitary mental blcSsedness
Naturally during the last twenty centuries
women have gradually acquired this knowledge
and are beginning to apply It In various ways
One is by eliminating the "P. s." Time was when
men like "L T. H." on receiving letters from
women skipped them through" and then knew
by reading the "P. S." what 1t was all about and
with complaccncy adjudgcd themselves wise.
Now those times are over Women make men
choose ranbows In correspondence as In every
thing else. and therefore II Is not due to mascu
line twittlng, but 10 admiration. that woman has
given up her once favorte ending to letters.
