|SRECOMMENOEO
REPORT OF lNSULAR DEPART.
MENT CHIEF FAVORS IMPROVE
MENTS FOR ISLANDERS

| Washington, D. c., Dec. 31.--Ap
proval of the extension of vocational
! education in the Philippines and the
/ immediate grant Of American citizen
ship to those Porto Ricans desiring it,
constitute the principal features in the
annual report of Brigadier General
Frank Mcintyre, chief of the bureau
! Of insular affairs.
In his annual report, made public
yesterday, General Mcintyre renews
the recommendation for congressional
action looking to the biennial inspec-
ton of the insular possessions by a
board of visitors made up of repre-
sentatives of the executive and legis-
lative branches of the government.
Discussing education in the Philip
pines and the refusal of congress to
extend an appropriation to help in this
work, General Mcintyre makes no
criticism of this attitude on the part
of the national Legislature, but points
out that such financial assistance might
lead to dependence upon this source
of revenue and result in complications
of a more or less serious character If
later this assistance were denied"
School Facilities Lacking.
1T is estimated" General Mcintyre
continues, that probably one-third of
the children Of school age are now be-
ing afforded opportunities to acquire
at least an elementary education, and
while this leaves vast number still
to be reached, many of whom must
pass their whole lives without the
benefits of an education, it is of no
less importance that progress along
other lines contribute simultaneously
with the advance in learning to rails
ing the standards of living in the
Philippines.
Porto Rican Citizenship.
AS to Porto Rican citizenship. Gen
eral Mcintyre says it is practically the
testimony of every one familiar with
conditions on the island territory that
the desire for it is the underlying cause
of whatever political and social unrest
there is on the island. He points out
that citizenship has been recommend
ed by the bureau, by successive presi-
dents and secretaries of war, besides
being promised in political platforms.
1T is very much to be hoped he
concludes, that this grant may be
legislatively authorized during the cur
rent session of congress-
