PORTO RICO NOW
ABREAST OF TIMES
Daily School Attendance Has Grown
From 23,452 in 1901 To
s4,25S in 1910.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. a.
From the inception of American gov
eminent In the island particular at
tention has been given to extending
the school system. According TO the
the population over 10 years OF age
could read and write.
In October, 1898, when Americans
arrived In Porto Rico, there were $50
public schools for boys and 148 for
girls, with an enrolment of 1854 and
an actual attendance OF 1929. These
schools were maintained by the local
communities, We're housed In build
ings temporarily. rentedq and used
as living quarters for the teacher and
his family; were ungraded, poorly
equipped and manned by teachers In.
adequately ana irregularly paid.
These teachers held permanent H.
censes, and hence were subject to no
test as to proficiency.
In 1901 there were only 1873 schools
In the island, with an average aggre-
gate daily attendance Of 23,452 After
that there was steady and nearly
uniform growth until in 1910 there
were 2,450 schools with an average
aggregate daily attendance of "a, 25S.
These figures include all the schools

the same act all disbursements for
educational purposes must be approx
ed by him. In each of the 66 munich
palities are school boards In charge
OF the local school interest, but the
formulation Of the course of study
(Which Is uniform for the island), the
certihcation of teachers, the examin-
alton OF pupils to determine their
progress and other general powers
reside In the department of educa-
ton.
The efficiency Of the instruction
through the grade Ia intrusted to the
assistant commissioner, who is also
chief of the division of supervision.
Directly under him are three general
superintendents, who spend most Of
their time In the field, and 40 super
vising principals, who are In charge
OF the districts consisting OF one or
more municipalities
The salaries OF teachers, amount
ing to over 100000, are paid from
the insular treasury. In addition, the
school boards pay a small monthly
allowance In lieu of house rent. The
maximum and minimum salaries OF
teachers below high-school grade are
$95 and 1913 a school month.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 2.-The
"swat-the-ffy movement has invaded
politics and forms a plank In the plat
form OF George 8. Marshall, mayor Of
Columbus, now making nis campaign
for denomination at the Republican
primaries In September. AS one of the
greatest accomplishments OF his ad

almost complete elimination Of the

term of two years. he says. and the
house fly will be driven from the Dor

Then came for her the weirdest mo-
ment OF the trip. For suddenly all the
lights went out. In utter, black dark
ness and absolute silence the party
found themselves sitting. Imagination
in this setting worked rapidly. The
realization of the smallness OF tho
boat, OF the thousands and thousands
of tons OF water above; of the unique
defiance one was offering to the huge
and powerful sea. came sweepingly In
this darkness. Mrs. Goelet did not

timidity.

systematically, but smiling pluckily all
the while. The dial's hand was slid

On the way back the little electric
stove was set to work for brew Of
tea. An adjustable table was set up
and spread and Mrs. Goelet accepted
a proposal that she should pour. After
which she went up on deck and chung
to the rough iron hanGIes. enjoying
to the utmost the free sweep OF the

for Ensign Miles. as did also Secretary
Meyer. And later the crew OF the

her In champagne which she had sent
them, with her compliments.
