REPORTS from the middle Atlantic
States are TO The effect that this year :
shad fishery is a failure. A dispatch
from Chester, Pa. says: "rhe shad
season will probably be one of the poor
est that Delaware river fishermen have
experienced in many years. Last year
the catch was small, but this year 1t is
much smaller No great run OF the fish
is now expected, as The season is near
ing close, and many Ofthe fishermen
have become disguised and stopped. !"
During TIE past few days similar dis
patches have appeared from the towns on
the rivers in Delaware aud New Jersey
which show that the same stale OF af-
fars exists there as in the Potomac.
Scientists should turn their attention
to this matter, tor it seems that nOtwith-
standing the millions of shsd being
Matched aud placed in the river each
season the catch of sliad grows smaller
year by year.

Educational Needs.

For the present, at least, We should
bend our efforts toward providing elemen-
tary education for large number in the
rural districts in preference to higher edu-
cation for a small class In the cities. The
maintenance of few high schools, where
those children who are able to devote
number of years to education, can receive
training In higher studies IS essential, but
in view of the limited appropriation that
can be devoted to this branch of the gov
ment, the good Of the greater mass must
be our first thought / feel, moreover,
that it would be most unfortunate not to
recognize the enormous benefit to be de-
rived from trade and agricultural schools.
Granting the Importance of higher edu-
cation IL is far more necessary that
larger number of your young men be al
forded such professional training in the
rious trades as to be assured of a steady
livelihood than that few be proficient
in literature or art.
Gov Winthrop also calls attention to the
fact that the judiciary of the island is
steadily improving, both In personnel and
in the prompt and efficient dispatch OF
business. He urges the extension to Porto
Rico of the merit or civil service system,
and thus defines his views:
The Merit System.
ut is most important that at at outset
appointments be based on merit and merit
alone. and that the disastrous principle
best characterized by the oft-quoted cry,
To the victor belong the spoils, which has
done so much damage to SO many govern
ments, be never allowed to gain a foothold
in the administration of the affairs or this
island. Through such a system not only
will the public service be greatly benefited
but a long and honorable career be opened
to many Porto Rican young men and wo-
men. The system will not be an expert
ment: it has been fully tried elsewhere,
and has proved its undoubted worth
The message also recommends the eStab
fishing of q training school for hospital
nurses, to train young Porto Rican women
for work among the sick and poor; public
play grounds for children in the larger
cities; the continuance of the commercial
agency IN New York; a revision of con-
fiicting sanitary laws; extension of the in
terror road system. a law designating the
courts, and not the secretary of Porto
Rico, for the final arbitrament of munich
pal disputes; a more simple and effective
election law, insuring greater economy, less
defective registration lists, prompt legal
procedures and the prevention of election
Irregularities.
