SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK
Grand Opening Of the Educational
Workshops of the Country.
BIGGEST INDUSTRY IN THE LAND
Pressing Need for More and Better
Accommodations In the Crowded
Lower Grades-EducatiOn
in Porto Rico.

September marks the beginning Of the
school year. The long vacation season Is
at an end. and teachers and pupils return
to their desks flushed by the reCreations
Of ten weeks Public and private schools
in this vicinity swing open the doors to-
morrow. Commercial colleges begin their
terms at the same time. The larger col
leges and the universities start the machin-
cry OF education a week OF two later. By
the end Of the month practically all edu-
cational institutions will have buckled
down TO the gigantic tasks of improving
the brain power Of twenty millions Of
young America. A mighty host truly, I'M
der the tutelsge Of half a million teachers.
Considered as an industry shaping the ris-
ing generation for the duties and respon-
sibilities Of life the school house tran
sends any single industry in the repub-
lie and exerts the greatest influence in the
destiny OF the nation
In education, as in the world s workshop,
the lower floors are crowded. Vastly more
money is spent in providing higher educa-
ton for the few than in accommodating
the multitude seeking the simple rudi-
ments. Every large city experiences diff
ficulty in providing for the ever-increas-
ing crowd in the primary grades. while
room is ample in the grammar and high
schools. The problem seems TO perplex
educational boards, though it would not
appear difficult II school board mem
bers would give weight to the fact that
the great majority OF children are Obliged
for countless reasons to put aside their
books before reaching the high school.
A study made by the Sage foundation OF
the conditions in $50 cities in the United
| States, TO determine the rate at which
/ children drop out of the elementary pub.
| lie schools, showed surprising results. Fol
every eighteen children to enter the first
year in the grammar school, only ten re.
manned in the fifth. five in the eighth
grade and but one remained to graduate
/ from the high school. In other words
81 per cent of the children who entered
the city school systems in the United
States failed to complete the full twelve
years which lead to high school diploma
In New York. Boston. Philadelphia and
| Chicago, where crowded conditions are
most marked, these facts are being pressed
on school managers to secure modifica
ton Of the policy which lavishes facilities
on the higher grades and skimps accornmo
dations for the overflow in the primar!
grades

County Commissioner o. ]. Pickard's
charge that the Standard Bridge company

ment it reconsidered and asked Deputy

American Methods.
The Revue Scientifioue of Paris draws
FROM an analysis OF the American educa-
tional system In Porto Rico the conclusion
that the last vestige of Spanish domination
will soon disappear from the island The
fact that the majority Of the teachers come
from the United States, and that 30 per
cent of the school children are receiving
efficient instruction in English, will soon
bring about complete assimilation of the
natives to the American type.
As given by the Revue, the schools are
attended by 12l. 453 pupils. one-ninth of the
whole population. In the kindergartens
there are go; in the elementary schools es-
tablLshed in siNty-six towns, 80 1907; in the
rural schools. n $50. There are besides 1853
evening schools with s.O24 students, nearly

Some Figures on
 Cochise's Big Valley

The Agricultural Experiment. sts- ton professors. and Director Forbes visited the Sulphur Springs valley and the experiment farm there belonging to the territory, last week.
 There are about 100000 acres in the center of the valley where it is hut short distance to water, that could te put under irrigation. A It, t!e higher up on the sides of the val. ley IS Q s,rip where it is somewhst deeper to water in which little irri- gstion from pump sources in addition to dry farming methods would enable them to raise fine crops. and beyond that would be the strip of purely dry farming and grazing lands.
 Altogether the Sulphur springs valley is proposition well worth looking into from the Agricul,ural Experiment Station standpoint.
