ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
Board Of School Commissioners Debates
Conditions at High School.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
Ia 10 1Q(A


ROCKVILLE. Md, January 10, 1904.
A special meeting of the board of public
school commissioners for this county was
held here today for the purpose of provid-
ing means for the relief of the crowded
condition of the Rockville High School 1t
was represented that the building is mad
eouate to comfortably accommodate the
large number of pupils enrolled, and quite
a number of children have been re-
fused admission because of lack of room.
1t is claimed that under the existing con-
ditions the teachers are unable to do JUS
tice to either the pupils or themselves De
cause of the vast amount of work required
to be crowded into the day. 1t was de-
cipal and Prof. s. A. Lehman, principal or
the school at Gaithersburg, was chosen for
the position. 1t was also decided TO rent
additional quarters apart from the msh
school, for the primary grade The changes
mentioned are expected to afford tempo
rary relief, but the opinion is general that
the erection of a new and up-to-date high
school building for Rockville cannot De
much longer postponed.
The question of closing the colored
schools of the county was also considered.
The state appropriation for the nnainte-
nance of these schools has recently been
greatly reduced. The sentiment of the
board was in favor of closing the colored
schools in March, but definite action was
deferred until the next meeting, Wmch Will
be held February 4.

GOVERNOR HUNTS MESSAGE.
Recommendations to the Legislative
Assembly Of Porto Rico.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
SAN JUAN, P. R., January 49, 1904.
Governor Hunts annual message was
read yesterday at the opening of the second
and last session of the second biennial legis-
lative assembly of Porto Rico. and was
well received. 1t is deemed here strong
and able state paper.
The message opens with words of encour-
agement and urges the people to have cour-
age for the future; it also tells them that
recent events have attracted attention to
countries about here, and that Porto Rico
leads in demonstration Of the fact that
American government will uplift a pa
triotic people. ef s;io
The governor advises the people of the
island to go ahead and further commend
themselves to the people of the United
States. He urges strict economy with no
increase In taxation except in excise taxes
on liquors and tobacco. He earnestly recon-
mends that the island adopt an American
and means for better municipal service.
In view of the facothat by far the greater
number OF deaths in Porto Rico are from
tropical aenemia. the governor asks for a
eradication of the disease. thus hoping to
oeneht the entire tropical world.
Ioucnlng on the coming biennial elections,
ne urges fairness and advises the creation
to American systems, All
One of the most important recommends
tons is that there shall be a prompt settle
ment by a special tribunal of all questions
now pending betweenthe Catholic Church
in Porto Rico and the government. This is
delicate but vitality essential problem In
the island.
The governor declares against road con-
struct!on by contracts and calls for a re-
peal of the law under which such work is
now being done. He recommends trial OF
the contract system for maintaining roads.
He advises leases, rather than sales, of
government lands, the income from such
leases to be devoted partly to education.
He recommends, among other things. sur
veys and Torrens' system of land registra-
tion laws against carrying weapons.
strongly favors industrial schools and asks
for an increased appropriation for the ex-
hibit of Porto Rico at the st. Louis expo
sition. He declares that this is no time for
tagging or for local partisanship which in
terferes with progress The entire message
is couched in forcible. earnest and scholar
ly language, and is intensely American in
spirit.

Good i'm Cold Air.
From Good Health.

'As the result of sedentary habits.
there is not sufficient oxygen taken
into the lungs. The lungs do not ex-
pand as they ought to, so enough air
is not taken in. Then the overheated
air is diluted, and one must breathe
seven times to get as much oxygen
as in breathing six times out of doors.
and so, breathing only imperfectly
and slowly. because not active, the
amount of oxygen taken into the
body Is insufficient. One exercising
vigorously in the cold air out of doors
breathes more rapidly. obtains

CROP REPORT
CONDITIONS ARE REPORTED GEN
ERALLY GOOD.

The weekly crop report is as follows
The temperature was very high durinl
the first half of the week, but down q
about normal during the latter part
Good showers occurred on the 9th an,
2sth and some light, scattering ones OF
other dates, but the latter part of the
week was generally dry.
The showing of wheat progressed fair
ly well. but in some parts of the west
ern section the ground was too wet to
work. Early sown fields are coming up
nicely. II favorable weather prevails, a
large acreage will be sown.
Tobacco is nearly all cut and hous-
ed. 1t is generally reported to be curing
nicely, but there is some complaint of
house burning. The acreage was much
below the average, but the yield and
quality as a whole Is very good. ... t'h
Corn cutting has advanced very well
but there is considerable late corn not
quite ready for the knife. Corn is very
irregular. some fields showing the finest
crops for years, while Others are very
light. II is not turning out quite as
good as was expected, and as a whole
will be somewhat below the average.
Apples have continued to deteriorate
and are very poor. Peaches are very ir-
regular. but somewhat better.
Pastures and meadows have improved
considerable in most sections and the
outlook for fall feed is good
Potatoes are being dug and good crop
is generally reported.
Farm work has been badly delayed by
rain in some localities in the western sec
tion, but it is generally well up in other
portions of the state.

that committee of Paducah people,

attend and the expenses of the party
be borne by the city. This has been
the custom on like occasions with other
cities and Paducah should not be want

council and aldermen should be called
in special session at once and The Sun
believes they will readily concur in this
suggestion. Paducah has always shown
the proper enterprise and spirit when
