ing them our American language and
American ways3"
The American flag flies over every
Porto Rican schOOihouse, and there is a
special ceremony of raising it every
morning. The children salute the flag as
it goes up and as thew do so they say:
i pledge my allegiance to my flag.
and to the country which It represents
This Is universal In rainy DAYS the
flag Is raised inside the tatios. and the
same Is so IN some of the city schools
which are on business streets. I believe
the children are proud of their Ameri-
canism, and of the fact that they are a
part Of our nation
''As to the languages taught" con
timled Dr. Dexter. "all of the text books
in the ordinary branches of study are in
English. The Rotations are in English,
and the children everywhere speak Eng
lish. At the same time they are taught
Spanish, the tongue Of their ancestors;
aud they study both Spanish history
and American history. The Spanish Is
taught as a language study and the chill
dren OF American residents in Porto Rico
easily learn it. I have four children in
the public schools and they all speak
Spanish as well as English. Their play
mates speak Spanish in their ordinary
conversation, but the children every
where are able to speak both languages.
Nv youngest child, when talking to the
servants, always speak Spanish"
Porto Rican Teachers.
"Who are your teachers?" I asked.
"The most of them are Porto Ricans
We have from $50 TO 200 American
teachers and something like 1000 Porto
Ricans. The majority Of IKE native
teachers are men. although many are
women. There are more women than
men among the Americans. The AmeTi-
cans are nearly all college graduates, and
the Porto Rican teachers have either
studied English in the United States OF
Porto Rico They have TO pass an eX-
animation IN English and the law re-
quires that there must at least be one
teacher of English in every municipality.

Porto Rican get2"

and when they are through the grades
they are able to enter the high school
OF the larger municipalities. There are
now nigh schools at San Juan. Ponce and
AlaYagllez, each of which has d four
year course and from which the gTaduates
are able to enter the university of Porto
Rico or any college of the United States
without difficulty.

high school courses in Is different mu-
inequalities, and in these schools we have
now almost "A thousand students"
Night Schools and Normal Schools
Are the people anxious to leaTn?" I
asked.
yes. indeed. They not only want
their children TO 90 to school, but many
OF them go to school themselves. We
now have about $50 night schools, with
something like 10000 students enrolled.
These schools are maintained in all but
one OF the municipalities, and the ma
lOritv OF the persons attending them are
adults. They are held In most cases in
/ the same school buildings as those used
IN the daytime, and are carried on at
a very moderate expense.
As to the desire of the children to 90
TO school, this is evidenced by the large
number who are now attending, and the
TACT that it is greater than that of the
United States, I believe the desire for
education Is increasing, and we are doing

''Much the same as that Of the United

equipped with kindergarten tents, giant

Of modern education TO the dead wires Of

masses were mentally dead. In about
100000 people who were over 10 wears
Of age not one IN five could read Span

the Cubans and more so than those Of
any other West Indian island Noni-
nallY. there were 500 schools which had
been rln by the Spanish, but in reality
there was only one public school building
and the teaching was done in private
houses. to which only the children Of the
poor were admitted, without paying tui-
ton. The salaries we're pitifullV smah,
and many OF the teachers took bOarders
to add to their support. In some places
the school was held in the dining room.

ton today / have the information hot
from the tropics. It comes to me through
talk which I had last evening With
Dr.. Edwin g. Dexter, the commissioner Of
education Of Porto Rico. He has had
charge Of the schools for the past four
years. and has Just left Washington to
20 back to MS post. He has been here
visiting our little brown cousins to whom
the Porto Rican government has given
scholarships in the great universities, and
has also been preparing new plans Tor
school development.
Said he:
Porto Rico now stands ahead OF the
United States in its common school IA
cilties We have $500 schools in an area
of 3400 square miles. That makes one
school to every square mile and a half.
In the United States the average Is one
Tor every nine square miles, and there
are only one or two states IN the union
which are as thickly dotted with schools
as we are. We have school buildings
which have cost over 100000. and many
which would be a credit to the Ont ca
States. There is one at Arecib0 which
contains p rooms, and another at san
Juan which cost S65.O00
we have now AS. 900 children in the
schools Dr.. Dexter went on. THAT IS
Is percent Of our population, OF one in
evrV eight men. women and children in
the country. 1t Is a larger attendance
pr0portiODately than that of any Span
ish-speaking people of the world. or Of
any country in the western hemisphere.
1t Is far more than YOU viii find in Spain
or Portugal. or any country Of southern
Europe. and IT Is twice the proportion of
the school buildings of Cuba OF the Phil
ippines. Moreover, this percentage is in

ment figures just given out. Despite
the fact that the summer months are
always dull recruiting periods, 2,075
men enlisted in the regular service OF
the army during July. One reason
which might be assigned to large in
crease in recruiting is the new rnlist-
ment law which goes into effect on
November 1. This law provides that
every man enlisting after that date
must complete four years of actual
service and then must hold himself
In readiness as reserve for three
more years. He may be summoned
at any time to serve in the event OF
war or the imminence of war. Doubt
less, many men who have been con
sidering serving in the army, but
who, at the same time, do not wish
to be held under obligation for sc
long period, have taken advantage
of the opportunity to enter before the
law goes into effect, thus avoiding
the three years reserve duty.

Then blow it east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.

That all is well and sure that he

Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me, every peril past,
