RUSSIA AND JAPAN CLASH
OVER SEIZURE OF SEALER
Fear Is Expressed That It May En-
danger Contamination
of Treaty.

The issue between Japan and Russia
over the seizure Of a Japanese fishing
and sealing vessel by the Russian au-
feared, endanger contamination Of the
recently negotiated seal treaty.
The Japanese assertion is that the YES
sci was seized far beyond the marine
league distance from the Russian shore
line, which marks territorial Jurisdiction
1t is understood here that the Russian
government some months ago sought to
extend It's territorial rights to distance
Of thirty miles from the shore line The
Japanese government refuses to recognize
this extension.
So far no official notice of this Russian
claim to jurisdiction over the high seas
has been received in Washington, and
consequently the State Department Of
fcials are unwilling to indicate what &C
ton they would take in the matter 1t is
recalled, however, that the American
claim to jurisdiction over Boring sea was
rejected by the Paris arbitration. Includ-
ed in the American case was a ukase by
the Russian emperor claiming Jurisdiction
for 100 miles of the Alaskan coast,
which also fell with the broader Ameri-
can claim AS this international arbitra-
ton apparently settled affirmatively. and
for all time. the binding force of the old
rule that no nation can assert it's ex-
elusive control to the sea more than one
marine league beyond the shore line. the
basis OF the recent Russian decree can
not be conjectured.

BELIEVES PRAYERS IN VAIN.
Preacher Thinks Wisconsin Legisla.

MADISON, Wis. July 2S.-Rev A. L.
Tull. a retired Methodist minister, has
lost faith IN the Wisconsin legislature and
has returned the check for s. which he
was paid for delivering prayer in the
senate, with a letter to State Treasurer
Dahl, reading as follows:
i received your check for So for de-
livering prayer in the senate I think
you and the senate for the courtesy, but
return 1t. 1t would be purely commercial
ism to accept SD from the senate for ask
ing the favor of the Lord
Really, it seems as if the $672 paid for
prayer during this session was lost
money. AS the legislature did such rot
ten business on all temperance measures.
it indicates that not single prayer
reached the Lord for the promotion of
temperance. but that He favored the
breweries and saloonkeepers. How could
prayer for money do other than fail?
IT have been sunk in debt for six weeks
and needed money worse than others Of
them, but not such money"

THE KINGDOM OF SPAIN.
Vu-The Backwardness of Education.
By Frederic J.Haskin.

Seventy-five per cent seems to have
been agreed upon by foreigners as the
proportion of Spaniards who cannot read
or write. There is usually mild pro-
test against these figures when the sub
ject is discussed among Spaniards. Spain
is a country where all statistics are more
or less unreliable No one really knows
definitely how large the proportion of IL
literacy is, but it is at any rate large
enough to make the backwardness Of edu-
cation one of the gravest and most dis
couraging phases of Spain's lack Of prog
reSS.
In addition to the large number OF per-
sons of the humber classes who are
wholly illiterate there are many upper
class Spaniards who have only a slight
acquaintance with the three Rs" There
are others who read and write Spanish
correctly and have a good acquaintance
with French, but who are amazingly ie-
norant of affairs outside Of their own
country. This class cannot be said IN he

need of militant public opinion in favor
or an awakening. But why conditions are

centuries behind countries that were once

all Spanish children from the age of six
years to twelve years are in school by
law. The Little progress made since 1857
shows that the educational. reform has

SAY RAILWAY COMPANIES

many school teachers in Spain working
for less than 500. The average salary.
in fact. is 5000. Cuba spends half as
much on education. upon one-twelfth as
large population, as is spent by Spain.
This is part of what Cuba Libre" means

Grafters steal a good deal Of the school
fund in Spain. so that teachers are for
tunate indeed if they actually receive
even the pittance that is allowed them
under the law. Many payments to school
teachers are in arrears and the arrears
are often in the pockets of parasites.
and there remain till the teachers get
tired of waiting and turn to some other
employment to get bread and meat. School
masters who keep accounts. write letters
for illiterate persons and do other odd
jobs to exc out their existene. are much
more numerous than those who draw the
salary to which they are entitled
A story of how the schools are con-
Quoted is told in the little city of Burgos
The school teacher,
A Teachers whose duty it was to give
c: elementary instruction to
0i"eooAS' the prisoners in the Bur-
COS jail, receiving payment from the gov
eminent, declined TO teach because the
jail was so overcrowded that there was
file any information to that effect where
1t would stop his monthly salary. For
twenty years he drew his pay, such is the
loose-jointed manner in which government
bureaus are operated in Spain. This peda-
gogue probably had keener sense of
humor than OF right and wrong.
The locality must. under the Spanish
law, furnish the money with which teach
ers in local schools are pad 1t must be
paid to the ministry of education, whic..
pays the teachers. 1t is claimed that
when the local taxes We're raid to the
teachers by the local authorities the
funds were ''milked'' so outrageously that
only small part of the payments were
made. There is still according TO COM
mon report, a good deal of milking"
Teachers In private schools may teach
without any certificate of qua ihcatfon
and prepare pupils for universities, where
they rece We, in many cases, instruction
from professors who are no themselves
college graduates. The teachers in gov
eminent schools are required to go
through a normal school, but the standard
of education is not high.
Where schools actually exist they are
often held in buildings which would sub
ject those in authority to arrest in Amer
lea. More than 10000 schools are In
rented buildings where there Is no con-
sidera ton of hygiene or sanitation. The
Spanish newspapers recently gave wide
publicity to an official statement of the
minister of education giving these figures
and stating that schools are often ada
cent to stables, slaughter houses hospi-
tails and other places not calculated to
improve the health of pupils. One school
is In a building used as q stable, and
the children occupy space that is used as
stalls for oxen during the night. An
other schoolhouse IL used as a bull pen
adjacent to the Plaza de Toros when
bull fights are held. THE school prem
ises," says this report. ARE bad Ninety
per cent of the buildings are the worst
dwellings in the towns. This Is because
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-07-28

the town councils will not pay the rent
and owners of better buildings will not
let them for school purposes"
The moral conditions existing In Span
ish schools have been recently condemned
in the public prints by prominent edu-
Gator as being responsive to physical
conditions and perhaps the most de-
graded in the whole world In this way
the corruption of Spanish politics reflects
itself upon the youth of the country.
There are no Fairgrounds. and no effort
is made to encourage school spirit The
Spanish laborer who can raise sufficient
money to emigrate to North or South
America, where his children may enjoy
the benefits of education under a repub-
lican government and under favorable
conditions, cannot be blamed for takins
advantage of the first opportunity TO
leave Spain.
