other comes from China.
F.ugcnio l.. Munoz is from Ponce, Port
Rico, and has been in the United State:
but two years. having started his Amer
lean education in Hyannis Normal school
Hyannis Mass. At the age of 16 M
Munoz studied for a short time in for
cign High school and then taught schoo
for one year.
Mr. MunoZ' talk on education in Porte
Rico is intelligent and very interesting
The principal lines of study there are
law, medicine and engineering. Mr.
Munoz said that the University Of Porto
Rico is at present being built by the gov
crnment and that nearly all the teachers
in Porto Rico arc Americans. When
questioned as to whether the Porto Ri
cans were pleased with the changes from
the Spanish to the American government.
he said that as a whole they were, al
though a few still remain loyal to Spain
Mr. Munoz expects to attend Maine four
years and then return home and take UP
teaching.
From another and more distant part of
the world comes Use Shcng Linn. whose
home is in Hong Kong. China. Mr.. Linn
began his education in the public schools
Of Hong Kong. where he learned Eng
lish under British instructors, then in the
University of Tien Tsin. After continu-
ing his study of English at Harvard for
one year he returned to his native coun-
try and in 1906 entered the Univey Sity of
Tien Tsn at the expense of the Chinese
government. Mr.. Linn was registered in
the civil engineering course while in the
University of Tien Tsin but owing to the
Boxer uprising he was prevented from
graduating. The president of the Univer-
sty of Tien Tsin is Charles d. Tenney.
a graduate Of Dartmouth College. and
when the Chinese government offered to
send Mr. Linn to an American institution
he came to the University of Maine upon
the recommendation of Mr.. Tenney. Mr..
Linn is now studying economies and will
remain four years at the university, at
the end of which time he will return to
his native land. into which he then hopes
to be able to introduce some true Amer
lean activity along different business
lines. Mr. Linn was in the siege of Tien
Tsin but escaped after a months time.

you wait-sweet, crisp lettuce that
you may eat for your dinner with the

Il do It In this way: I take a hand

soaked over night in alcohol, and
plant them In a box containing three
inches Of loan and quicklime. | water
this soil, and in ten minutes the seeds
burst.
They burst, and In 20 minutes two
tiny leaves push through the earth.
The leaves grow and multiply. In half
an hour they are as big as a half dol
lar. Then you may pluck and eat
them. They are delicious-a fairy
salad.

grow, and when the time comes for
the salad course there is their salad
blooming before them, all ready for
them to pluck"
