country in 1853, brief asst was, gave
the first impulse to agriculture and
trade in the largest of the West In
5ia. Islands. BY opening foreign mar
kets to their products for a short ttrnes
the Cubans were made to realize the
benefits that would be derived from a
continuation of the system, and while
the Spanish authorities did their best
to restore the old Spanish monopoly,
they were doomed to fai1urea A con-
siderable contraband trade was car

plantations were started, and. q great

greater Pan-Americanism were nu-
merous today in the program of the
Pan-Amerfcan Scientific Congress in
spite of the great volume of papers
read on technical subjects. Scores of
uestions Of an International character
were discussed and members of Con-
gress informally talked of the crys-
ta1lizing of the Pan-American idea
into concrete form that might be-
come known as the Pan-American al
lance.
A Pan-American Congress that had
for it's one object that coordination Of
principle Of General Education for
the whole continent with the funda-
mental idea of giving special impor-
lance to the reciprocal knowledge of
the American nations was suggested

.Arnericanism and less nationalism
should be taught the children of both
North and South America.
1.-The education now given to the
children of America she declared,
s'does not prepare them for the Pan
American feeling of brotherhood which
is 50 desirable but fills them with false
conception and predisposes them to
