ISlCgBA IN A HOLE 2

The Cuban government has faI ed to
hoat it's $354QO0,0OO loan. Not only
this, but American immigration into
that country is insignificant.
The world is somewhat skeptic&& OF
Cubas permanency. Spanish com
tries take to revolutions like ducks to
water, but President Palma may prove
wise in his leadership ana bring The
country to prosperity yet.
The critics see ia the EN- barrassment
of Cuba 6nal annexation o tue United
States. This wish is father to the
thought. But the failure, of that coun-
try to win confidence at this early
stage is not worse THAI that which
embarrassed other countries in their
infancy. Let US hope for the best tor

UNCLE SAINTS SCHOOL,

The magnitude of the educational
interests of the United States ia COM
pretended by but few people. Ac-
cording to statistics from a reliable
source the cost of the school system OF
the country, public and private, is no.
less than S50O,000,000. Our public
common schools, which provide for
more than 100000 children, cost
s1l3.274, 1854 in 1900. OF this $50, OS3, 500
went for sites, buildings, furniture and
apparatus, 1885, 3l, 1898 was paid in sal
aries for teachers and superintendents,
and the rest went chiefly in the care OF
buildings, grounds, etc. There are
274,32 buildings in the United States
used for school purposes, and their
value. including the land and contents
of the buildings, is placed at 1926, 1873,
736.
Today there isenOugh schooling sup
piled to give every citizen 096 days OF
solid education as his life supply. Fifty
years ago the average was but 426 days,
and when the nineteenth century open
ed the average wac but 81 days. Today
Uncle Sam gives his children more
.han twelve times az much schooling
as he did hundred years ago.
