There are always five or six different

dress, the difference usually being in
by the trimming, either gold OIL
silver or the number of buttons worn

ENGLISH IN PORTO RICO.
1t Is DispIacing Spanish in Very
Nearly ALL the Schools.

Six or seven years ago it would have
seemed foolish prophecy that in 1905
| practically all the schools of the towns
and villages OF Porto Rico would be
using the English language as the me.
| dunn Of instruction, yet this has come
to pass quietly, unCDstrusivoly and
with ihe full approval and consent of
the Porto Rican people.
Our firsct school efforts in the island
| may be described as an attempt tC
| Anericanize the Spanish school, says
| the Forum. We took from it little by
| little everything except it's language.
| The books we used were American text
| books translated, and sometimes very
| badly translated, into Spanish.
We placed everywhere American
| teachers as supervisors. At the outset
they knew little Spanish comprehend
| ed but Gimly what was going on
around them and not infrequently
| made themselves ludicrous, but the
idea was good and the execution of it
! improved as the years went on.
To the supervisor We joined the
teacher of English. Wherever there
was Il group of four or more classes
an American teacher was sent to teach
the English language. Every day he
or she, for the American woman teach
er has had a large share in the work.
met the several classes and gave them
ssons in English, and once a week
taught the teachers assembled from the
entire district. The work was hard and
often improbable, and it is not sur
| prisiiig that the Americanized Spanish
school was gradually superseded by the
real American school.
This is how it happened. In order to
fit pupils to take advanced studies in
the United States several high schools
We're established in which, naturally,
English mad more scope than ir- the
elementary schools. At first there were
in these schools an English and Spa
nish section, but the latter was .oor
dropped am English became the ex-
elusive language Of the high schools
AS feeders for the high school s.rad-
ed schools We're established, taught
wholly in English by American teach
ers. They soon came to be known in
the community as American schools.
From the outset they were very pop
nlar Spanish schools and English
schools existed side by side and the
people voluntarily chose the English
schools.
In the capital city of San Juan the
first step was taken in 1868. 1t was
followed by the city of Ponce. where
there haG been a like demand upon the
res nurces and capacity of the An,eri-
ran school. 1t was overcrowded and
there were many who felt themselves
aCsrieveG at being refused admittance.
Such distinctions led to bitterness, and
the superintendent of schools in 1904
| conceived the bold plan of placing all
the schools of the city on an English
basis.
AS result of these changes the
school system in the towns and villages
has been wholly transformed. The
American school, with the help of the
Porto Kicap teachers, has practically
| crowded out the Americanized Spanish
school. 1905 there were "A schools

In the meantime the number of Am
cr!can teachers has diminished rather
than increased. The main work has
been accomplished by the Porto Ricar
teachers. of whom $50 We're given their
regular work in the English language
in 1907. AS there We're about 800 grad
ed schools in tine island English has be-
come tie dominant language of the
town schools.
Not the least significant feature OF
this remarkable development has beer
the fact that it has been accomplished
with the full appreciation and consent
of the Porto Rican people. This finds
expression in bills introduced in the
House of Delegates fixing dates when
all the schools shall be taught exclu-
sively in the English language.

Readfield Grange.


The meeting Of Readfield Grange
May 1 was called Flag day. on the
program and the unfurling Of the new
flag from the staff was one Of the
pleasing features of the day. The

during the afternoon exercises. The
forenoon was occupied in the transac-
ton of business and an adjournment
was taken early to give plenty time
for the afternoon exercises. State Mas
ter Stetson had arrived in the mean
time and an excellent dinner was serv-
cd and enjoyed. A short recess follow

to the Philippines and mounted on the
