EDITORIAL

against the intellectual sacrifice of
the Porto Rican children III the
public schools. nobody. apparently
has thought it worth white 70 protest,
but instead, the air is filled with
the doleful lamentations of the Choir
listers of the Department, reapeat-
| ing the refrain Of the necessity for
more schools, many more useless and
costly buildings.
Now we are at the beginning Of the
school course; for this reason we bel
(ieve that we are discharging public
duty by giving warning to the fathers
of the children and to all those who
attribute the failure of education to
material causes, to the insu1iciency
of the budget for educational expen-
|Ses, whereas as matter Of fact, the
evil lies deeper and has more prof.
[ound origin than the one given it.
The money which may be spent on
buildings and material might as well
be thrown into the street in order to
|enrich contractors of work and the
publishers Of school books in New
York and Philadelphia, as long as the
operation is not done away with,
system which the redemptionists have
fastened upon us with lamentable VIC
llence.
What do our tutors know about
anything. in what branch Of science
have they manifested the most ele-
mental principles of knowledge7
Since their arrival in the colony
they have done nothing more than
place themselves in ridiculous posi-
| tions whenever they have taken part
| in anything. and they certainly have
put their fingers in pretty much every
thing; they have introduced disorder
and effectually filled the role of gene
raj demoralizers. The experimental
system, mummyfying the reasoning
faculty, has rendered obtuse those in
tellects which have already been qua
I lifted as Opaque by the New York
Sun.
Money is not the only thing that
can give culture and knowledge and
much less when. in our case, it is
spent without rhyme aud reason in
making dangerous and harmful exper-
iments. 81
Our fears: and warnings may be of
great service, if not to the bureaucrats
who are suffering from the presump-
tuous initiation of the most primitive
ignorance, to those men in the mother
country who can give new direction
to the system of education in order
to bring about the Europeanization of
America, which is indispensable, now
that the great Republic has taken
upon itself to decide diplomatic cues
Itions and interfere in international
conflicts.
There is still time for them to cure
themselves; but if the intellectual
epidemic of ssdeOniss's does not preoc-
cupy them. Notwithstanding the havoc
which it has caused, let them at least
try not to bring the contagion to us,
let them allow us to take prudent
preca utions Of isolation inorder that
we may be preserved from the threat
ened danger.

From all parts of the island are
heard the same lamentations over the
lack of sufficient buildings for the ac-
comodation of all the children who
have reached the proper age for going
to school.
It is endeavored to attribute the fai-
lure of education to the lack of schools;
but in reality. the failure is due to the
methods in vogue.
We are experiencing here precisely
1.-The same conditions as maintain in
Cuba.
Redemptionism has disorganized
public education, has brought about
the most complete confusion in the
system of teaching and thoroughly de
moralized it.
It is not due to the lack of schools,
but to the fact that those which we
have fail to serve useful purposes.
The inha bitants of Cuba and the
Cuban authorities, as we have seen in
comprehensive articles appearing in
the Cuban papers-articles which We
lhave reproduced-are preparing to de
)fend themselves against the deStruc-
tive and demoralizing influences in
troduced in teaching by the primitive
|intrusions of the new methods.
The Cubans are in a better position
than we are for defending themselves
against these dangers. They can re
trace the steps, foolishly and blindly
taken. now that they have seen and
suffered ON the results of their folly.
We still have among us those who
lament the small number of school
houses
For certain people, the triumph of
education consists in having commo
ldious places where the children of the
country may romp about at their ease
and pleasure,
Everything else is secondary and
insignificant for those who do not obj
ect to seeing the iutellects of our
children becoming atrophied and dea
dened by the stupidity of the expert
mental system introduced here b..
Punch ami Judy educators, Of which
IMr. Falkner is an illustration.
This is what we have 20 combat
here.
This is what we have to reform and
separate from our public schools befo-
re undertaking the construction of
new buildings in which to house chill
dren. with no other object than of po
fishing their mapners by teaching
them to see nothing but what they ha,
We before their eyes and what they can
touch with their hands. thus making
machines of their minds and dwarfng
their intellects.
The havoc brought about by the
application of the new methods to
educational questions is reflected and
evidenced in the slow progress Of the
pupils of the public schools.
What do these children know what
do they learn, what advantage do
they obtain by the development of
instinct at the expense Of their in
telligence exaggerating the ilnpor-
tance of the former with all its coarse
materiality? $
And against this not a voice is raj
sed, nor is word of protest heard
