SPLENDID PATRIOTIC WORK.
The Womans Relief Corps Branching On
into Wider Fields Of Usefulness.

Alexander Hamilton Woman's Relic,
Corps, of New York, which is the Banner
Corps of the Empire State Department
W. L. c., has been doing some splendid
work along patriotic lines. In the last 16
years they have presented schools and
homes II large silk flags, eight smaller
silk Flags. 10 Sx12 bunting Flags, seven
smaller bunting Flags, besides 10000
linen flags to Coamo, Porto Rico, so that
each child in that school district Nigh,
have its own Flag. In 1902 they offered
rs prize to the two schools in Porto
Rico and Manila which should show the
greatest progress in learning the English
language during the school year an Sx12
bunting Flag. These Flags have been
forwarded, making Hamilton Corps rec
ord 10.O51.
No report has as yet been received
from far Manila. but the Corps has re
ceived the very best of reports from the
Commissioner of Education, Mr. Samuel
McCrum Lindsay, of Porto Rico. In his
letter to Hamilton Relief Corps he says
that "the Flag presented to the school in
Porto Rico making the greatest progress
in the study of the English language has
been awarded TO the Adams Graded School
Of Sabana Grande." He speaks with
pride of the almost phenomenal advance
ment OF the pupils in their language work.
The Commissioner OF Education sent
with this letter several of the papers
written by the children The topics are
letter writing, spelling and dictation, short
stories about animals, translation from the
grade readers (Spanish). compositions
about birds, grammar, English geography,
diagrams, hygiene, and various other
