undertaken for the more purpose of
charging conditions. destroying things,
and making innova tions, constitutes
serious menace which has stirred us
profoundly.
Can any tell US what is the object
of taking away from the graduated
schools the most important grades, IN
order to create new school which is
to be the experimental field of the re-
form of teaching in English
Can this be explained in any satisf-
actory or convincing manner. What
| is the necessity for it7 Have not the
would be reformers heard the clamor
that was raised through the whole
country as protest against the change
| of language when that obsurd project
was announcedF
And in addition to hearing this,
| they must also have observed the con-
fusion produced among the pupils by
the recommendation in the Central
Grammar School recommendation
made regardless of necessary condi-
tions, without taking into account the
number of enrolled pupils, the size
of San Francisco Barracks, nor as
would be natural, the number of chill
dren remaining in the street.
Many parents of families have cal
led on us with this complaint; we have
also heard rumors of existing diffe-
rences, from the same cause. between
the School Board of San Juan and the
Department of Education. That which
we have been unable to ascertain,
what no one seems to know, is what is
now engaging the time and attention
!of Mr. Falkner and how he is employing
his varied talents; whe ther it is true, as
some suppose, that he is practising or
working on some disquisition on Educ
alton and Democracy, or if he is more
modestly occupied IN inspection duties,
not wishing to trust those reports
and statements-their reliability and
validity-made to him by others; or if
he is irquiring into the genui-
neness of the title of all those Ame-
rican teachers who have come here
to replace the natives.
If it is in the investigation of those
or similar things that occupies the at
tention of Mr.. Falkner, perhaps he
will arrive at the pretext for some ig-
norant and Intellectually stupid indi-
viduals wishing to teach English; tho

The wave of opinion is now direc-
ted against school reforms.
The conflict has not delayed its CO
ming; as might have been expected
lit has come with the natural protests
of the parents of families, protests be =
cause of the unnecessary trouble eau
sed the pupils and the logical preju-
dice to the cause of education.
This last reform, which has resul-
ted in more pupils being deprived OF
school facilities than in the previous
term, is monstrously centralizing and
| is the declared enemy of Porto Rlcan
teachers.
AS the work of a member of the re-
verend congregation, the reform has
| its perfdious as we'll as its gideonie
side. 1t in the FIRST place displaces the
native teachers; in the second, it pre-
tends to make the spanish language
one of the branches of earning to be
taught and explained (2) by American
teachers!
This is astounding. Men or women
who perhaps do not know the langua-
ge of their own country. neither car
speak nor write it correctly, teaching
SD nish to children. who since they
were born, speak it better their the sc
called teachers
This, it cannot be denied. would be
delicious as farce, if we were able
to limit ourselves to seeing the fare
ical side of it, and were not obliged te
FIX Our attention on the bitter and ira
gic feature of the innovation in all 1ts
strange significance and brutal scope
but it is the serious aspect of the ques-
tion that demands our attention and
that of the public. No one has ia
ken kindly to the announcement thai
in the Central Grammar School" the
order of things is to be reversed, by
the Castillian language being relega
tied to the position of one of the bran
ches. to be cx6lesnsd IN English By Sa
inef ffa6Le doav Of aOzse and eminent I'M
Ported teachers!
! Unfortunately this is not merely a
project. We End ourselves in the
| full operation Of the reform and are
already witnessing the dire results.
The spectacle is now presented
thanks to the combination that has
been made to force pupils to attend
school of a marked and pronounced
continental complexion-of children
not knowing where to go because o1
the changes. the innovations, the re-
forms and the constant confusion. Il
really appears as if the government
were doing a favor by keeping the
schools that ere in operation and il
were NOT it's Douuden duty and strict
obligation to do something more-s
great deal more-than it is doing now
in the matter of education.

No coins have been found so far in

Cooper told the officers he threw about
$500 in bogus ten-dollar pieces, though
a considerable effort so find them has
been made.
United States Marshal Hendry went
with two Japanese and a number of
small boys who live near the pond and
a lengthy search was made in the mud
of the pond, but NOT a single coin was
found. Cooper showed the officers
where he stood when he threw the
coins, as claimed, and from this point

said that he threw two small packages
of the coin out and threw the rest sin

CREWS, TO AND FROM COURSE

The annual rowing contest between
the crews from the Healani and Myrtle
clubs will be held tomorrow morning
over the Pearl Harbor course. The
championship races between these or
ganizations are among the most inter-
esting and exciting athletic contests
of the islands and are always the oc-
casion for great demonstration by the
supporters of the two organizations.
The record of the contests show the
Myrtle Club to be far in the lead in
the number of victories in the junior
event while in the senior race there is
not such a disparity, the Myrtle having
five victories to four of their oppo-
nents. The indications today are that
the Myrtles will annex both events, al
though the Healani supporters are very
sanguine over the prospects of their
junior crew.
The crews selected to make the races
are as follows:

.DISCHARGING
SPECIALS FROM
POLICE FORCE
AK FALLS AT POLICE STATION
THIS MORNING AND FOUR MEN
WE'RE LET OUT

The ak began to fan at the police
station this morning. The heads of
four specials officers were Topped off by
County Sheriff Brown. -Four more spe-
cials will be let out. The idea of the
Sheriff is to retrench as much as pos
sible and have the regular force per-
form the work of the department.
81 consider that the county law has
enacted a very excellent change" said
Sheriff Brown this morning "in the
matter of the prosecution of defendants
i'm the police court. Under the former
law, the arrestng officer, the deputy
high sheriff, prosecuted the cases. Of
ten times he was a witness against
the defendants. Under the new ar
rangement this work is entirely in the
hands of the county attorney and is
taken out of the hands of the police.
1t did not seem exactly the thing for
the prosecution to be conducted as it
had been, but the present law has
eliminated that difficulty.
mo changes are to be made for the
present in the force. l am working
on my estimates and will present them
shortly to the board of supervisors"
The retirement of Captain Robert
Parker from the police force as senior
captain, has been reconsidered by
that official and he is once more serving
the county in his former capacity.
Parker was not discharged by Sheriff
Brown and after a conversation with
the Sheriff the senior captain decided
not to leave the force.

Dollar which has been held up here
for some days past pending the settle

She had no license either American or
British, to take passengers and Col
lector Stackable did not intend to grant
her a clearance if she undertook to
carry passengers unless she had a
license or some authorities to take
them.
Application was made to Washing

"Of course the governor has resign
ed" said Secretary Atkinson, acting
governor this morning. Atkinson read
Carter's letter to Roosevelt before the
governor left for the mainland, and ne
came to the conclusion then that 1t
was not a resignation. ut is prac-
tically a resignation" said the acting
governor on Saturday. The office copy
of the letter is now locked up In the
safe of Secretary Creedon and Atkin-
son declines to give it out, saying he
does not feel at liberty to do so.
Carriers letter is stated on the best
of authority to be not clear resigna-
tion. 1t refers to the events of the
past few months in the islands, and
suggests to Roosevelt that perhaps the
writer has outlasted his usefulness as
governor of the Territory, and had
better resign. Carter tells the presi-
dent that probably there are others

IMMIGRATION
BOARD MEETS
WILL SEND AGENT TO EUROPE
IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO GET
LABORERS.
Continued on page S.

The Board of immigration held a
meeting this afternoon to complete it's
permanent organization. Acting Gov
ernor Atkinson called attention to the
laws provisions regarding the election
of a secretary and an auditor. j. p.
Cooke was made secretary and j. Craig
auditor Cooke was nominated by e.
d. Tenney and he dominated Tenney,
but the latter stated that he would not
be able to take up the work. He
I thought that he would soon have to
retire from the board altogether, owing
to pressure of work. Cooke then with
drew his nomination of Tenney.
Atkinson said that the board would
need some cleriC=i assistance very
soon. IF we find that we can accom-
plish anything we shall have work for
a very good man." said Tenney. TT
will require a man of ability and will
not be a job to be given to ward poll
ticians to fill" BEFORE anything could
be done, securing of funds was neces-
sary, Tenney added
! Atkinson proposed addressing the
Planters Association and other bodies
asking for information as to their
, needs and What they proposed to do.
I'VE might tell them that we shall soon
be sending a man to Europe" said
Cooke, and would like a statement 0l
what they have to offer"
1t was agreed thas letters should be
, addressed to the Planters, the Bishop
Estate and other large holders or own
ers of land, to secure full information
as to what laborers might expect, in
! the way of wages, chances for home
steads, etc. Land Commissioner Pratt
will prepare a statement of what the
government will do.
Cooke said that the best information
was in the "Pinkham report" and At
lIinson remarked that the report had
never been signed. Cooke said thai
this was so, but that the report never
theless contained the best information
