He has good agency force, which is
rapidly increasing, and is producer OF

ness of E. w. Lord, assistant commits
sioner of education in Porto Rico, to-
gether with biographical sketch. The

informed as to Mr.. Lords birthplace,
education and career, for he says; "Mr.
Lord nacio en- la ciudad de Surry, en- ell
Estado de Maine, en- cuyas escuelas pu-
blicas estudio. Muy joven nuestro bio
grafiado Sc traslado con su familia a la
ciudad de Ellsworth, Me-, y aqui concluyo
su instruction primaria. En- ell ano 1912,
fue professor en- La High school de Els
worth, y al ano siguiente habiendo
apenas llegado la mayor edad fue NOM
brado Superintendent de las escuelas
publicas de esta ciudad. En- este cargo
fue reelegido dos veces." All of which is
very true.
