The Schools of Porto Rico.

The Government of Porto Rico con-
sists of Governor appointed by the
President of the United States and a
legislature with an upper and lower
elective house. The former is com
prised nearly all of Porto Ricans and
the latter Americans, and the Porto
Ricans are naturally anxious for a
larger measures of self-government.
They celebrate political victories there
IN good old American style.
There are visits to the interior and
here is picture showing the cactus
growing in the mountains. The pic-
lures of the sugar and soffee planta-
tons indicate the wonderful range of
agriculture possibilities.
The pride of Porto Rico is the
schools. The teachers there insist
that they perfer to teach Porto Ricans
children to American children because
they seem more eager to learn and
the increase in attendance at school
has been without a parallel. An in
cldent related by the author shows
that he has not entirely forgotten
the country of his school days. A
glimse of the palace is given. He
met an Englishman in Porto Rico and
after comparing what had been done
IN Porto Rico in twelve years with the
advancements of English colonies in
the same time, the Englishman simply
responded, "You Americans are a won
derful people" United States

High Praise for Wilson and Bryan

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-We country people are we'll
pleased with both the President and
Mr.. Bryan We are thanking God
that lie has seen fit to place at the
heim oil our government two men, who
are not only great, but good as well.
They place the honor of our country
before its pecuniary welfare; they
regard peace at any price, short of dis
honor, as the greatest blessing a
country can desire; they believe in re-
deeming promises made in the great
Democratic platform upon which our
president was elected; they are making
every effort to stop this great and
cruel war. They believe the Lord
loves the peaceful and just nation
and their efforts to bring about peace
rebound to the glory of their country
and will add to it's prosperity and
power.
With two such men at the head
OF our government, with the Lord to
back them and joint the way, our land
is better protected than it could be by
great army and navy.
But we have arrived at tho parting
OF the way. We must continue our
trust in God and place our dependence
in Him alone, or we must throw Him
overheard and trust in our own might
and the biggest guns. A nation is
like an individual. 1t must trust God
all the way or not ut all.
God has inspired the great men who
framed our Constitution and laws:
and they have indicated the mode of
defense to be adopted by our govern
ment, viz: powerful navy and a
we'll organized State militia. Fur
Their than this we ought not to go; to
drill and equip great army would
soon involve us in war.
Rather let us rejoice that our sons
are with us at home instead of mingl-
ing in wars alarms or LYING dead or
wounded on some battlefield.

ONE VOCATION NOT CROWDED.

Nearly two months ago the Board
of Supervisors of the county voted to
employ county demonstration. 1t
was thought that he would be on the
ground by March 1st in full time to
render what assistance he could in the
planting and cultivation of the spring
and summer crops. Up to this writ
ing no demonstrators has put in his
appearance. The State agent, Mr..
Sandy" and the district agent, Mr..
Moore, and also the President of the
Agricultural College at Blacksburg.
and his officers all have been working
on the job of securing the man for
the place, but it appears that suit
able man can not be found. The lat
est report is, Eve cannot find a man
suitable for the place." 1t isn't that
Tazewell presents more difficult
field than other counties, or that the
salary is unsatisfactory, not this, but
the supply is not equal or adequate
to the demand. Here Is a striking
and instructive condition of things

sential advantage of city life, pleas

the teaching? Suppose, for instance.
the Board had advertised for a lawyer,

teed Il salary of one hundred dollars
per month, or fifty dollars per month.

would there have been? The appli

each other to get there first. They
would have been as numerous as can

here. Here is one vocation-one of

hanging around looking for some

would, for education in these depart
