| theatricals and vaudeville. Crowds
| lined the sidewalks to see the
| unique turnout and to hear the 100
piece band. 1t was some parade and
the Goats" who are the sales
forces of the Elliott-Fisher Com
| pany handed out something very
! original.
The professor formed in front OF
| the Penn Harris Hotel in Walnut
street and followed the concert in
Capitol Park by the combined band
| There were in line upwards of 500
including the local factory forces OF
the Elliott-Fisher Company. The
prevailing costume color was pink
Wrappers ard kimonos with pink
bathing caps were in the majority
but there were pink pajamas
dresses of every description and
hundreds of other comic and unique
outfits.
Hc-Goat Had Tails
The Chief He-Goat wore horns
and was attired in a costume with
long tailed coat. The degree team
wore special costumes. Uncle
sam" was in the parade. Banners
showed the various CITIES and dis
trict srepresented ard included sew
eral foreign countries where the
Elliott Fisher machines are very
much in evidence. Large medals
were worn by the factory forces and
those not in uniform. In Market
Square the paraders gave a snake
dance.
The procession wound up at the
Chestnut Street Auditorium, where
the amateur stunts were pulled off.
The program as announced last
evening proved a scream. There
were songs, dances, monoloGs and
about everything seen on a vaude-
vile stage. The goats which were
in the parade were brought on the
stage and introduced as part of the
degree team of the Pink Goats.
These goats came high, but they
were a necessity. Following the
amateur acts the Pacific and Dis
trict boys gave Il comedy sketch and
Their came the initiation.
Candidates Initiated
Five candidates were given the
full ninety-siX degrees required by
the order. What happened is known
to the candidates and those who
ualistic work was an impressive fea-
ture, not only the candidates but
every member of the order receiv-
irS due notice of what his duties at
home and in the interest of the
Elliott Fisher Company will be.
The objects of the new order
were explained and announcement
made that this organization will
convene ir Harrisburg every year and
that new members will be initiated
annually. In the meantime, provi-
sions have been made for local in
itiations to enable the new goats
to fraternize until the time for the
formal meeting.

Tfatar6 de presentar brevemente esta
question bhjo el importante aspecto, y
su efeCto en- el desarrollo moderno, del
organismo social de nuestra isla, y
la ves sobre la inhuencia que ejerce en-
el porvenir de nuestros j6venes, la ne
cesidad de aumentar su capacidad para
ganarse la vida y ser un ciudadano util
a su pals. Estos, mi entender, son
dos puntos que ainque diferentes deben
estar unidos.
La senorita sola, en- sus ideas pura-
mente radicales, pide que Sc supriman
todas las Atlas Escuelas en- la Isla. Yo,
mas conservadora, creo que el numero
debe reducirse tres: San Juan, Pom
ce y Mayagiiez, para no cortar raiz
la instruction superior en- ell pals, pero
al mismo tempo limitarnos al n6Hiero
exclusivamente necesario. Once atlas
escuelas es un lujo que no debemos os-
tentar mientras exista un setenta por
ciento de analfabetas, y no estandO Ell
pals en- condolences de aumentar el pre-
supuesto escolar para crear mas escue-
las graduadas y rurales, maxine que
en- algunos de esoscentros, segun datos
del Departamento, he Educacion, no su-
be La matricula 9ei igochsnta por Glen
to- ~
A mi entender, seiores representan-
tes, Sc esta cometiendo una doble in
justicia, porque Sc esta sacrifcando un
gran numero de niilos que no pueden
disfrutar de los benefcios de la ms
trucci6n elemental para dar instruction
superior a un corto ntmero de ellos.
En- otras palabras, Sc esta sacrifcando
las fnasas por algunos privilegiados. En-
segundo lugar, como medic educativo,
debemos observar que Sc va despertan-
do en- nuestros j6venes solamente la
idea de las profesiones, imitandose asi
la esfera de acci6n en- que deben mo-
verse nuestros hombres, al fin y al
cabo tendran que salir de la isla para
poner en- pr&ctica la instruction adqui-
rida y recoger los frutos de los amos
de costoso estudio. Y aunque este po-
drfa traerles la prosperidad individual
que tai vez los hara ricos, --en cuanto
al bien collective, a la evoluci6n del
progreso intellectual y material del pals,
el resultado sera funesto. Gastamos
mucho en- instruir algunos individuos
para que los frutos caigan en- manos
cx6ticas para que OtrOs paises recojan
el beneflcio que pertenece Puerto Ri
co. Y ESQ no debe ser.

prensa acerca de un experimento muy
interesante que Sc llev6 a efecto en-
Inglaterra, con Ell objeto de averiguar
la edad propicia en- el individuo para
desarrollar mejor sus aptitudes en- un
oficio o profession. Sc escogieron igual
ntmero de estudiantes de High School
Universidades igual nlmero de
alumnos de octave .grado; todos Sc
les puso aprender un oficio en- iguales
condolences. Esta prueba dio por re-
sultado que los mas jovenes demostraron
ser mas efcientes. Pues 81 10 que ne
cesitamos en- Puerto Rico son artesa-
nos, agricultores e industriales expertos,
claro esta que tantas Atlas Escuelas
son innecesarias y ese dinero debi6ra-
mos emplearlo para que todos los nifios
de Puerto Rico reciban instruction y Sc
pongan EN- condolences de dedicarse
aquellos oficios que son necesarios para
Ell fomento del pals. Es mas hermosa
una ciudad que tiene mil casas bien
construidas, que la que solo cuenta
con media docena de palacios y noven-
ia cuatro bohios. Tengase en- cuenta
que la dignidad del artesano es igual
a la del professional y que las exigen-
cias del pals requieren mas de estos y
menos de aquellos.
Asi, pues, miranda la question desde
un aspecto social, pido esta honora-
BILE comisi6n ,recomiende que la ms
truccion gratis termine en- Ell octave
grado. Los que quieren instruction SUI
perior, Que ayuden en- el pago de 10
que, representa- una ventaja personal,
desembolsando derechos de examenes,
matricula, libros, etc. Todos sabemos
que hay muchos paises que marchan
a la cabeza de la civilization y que
tienen mas dinero que Puerto Rico, y
sin embargo no dan gratis 'sus hijos
la instruction superior.
En- cuanto al lado econ6mico delvsun-
to que Sc esta tratando, 81 he logrado
convencer ustedes de la poca nece-
sidad de las Atlas Escuelas para ell de-
sarrollo de la ensehanza practica EN-
Puerto Rico, de acuerdo con sus ne
cesidades; suprimiendo ocho de estas,
habremos practicable una gran economic
cuyo producto podria invertirse en- la
instruction elemental de las masas.
Como en- el pals faltan las grandes
industrias de carpinteria, herreria, etc
etc. donde los nifios, al obtener sus di
plomas de octave grado, pudieran acu-
dir servirles de aprendizaje, creo seria
conveniente establecer dos esculas prac
ticas de Arte Y Ofcios para suplir Ia
omission que antes me he referido, pc
70 deseo una escuela donde salga III
zapatero que haga bien los zapatos
un carpintero que pueda construir una
casa, etc. y no un sitio donde los nj
nos pierden Ell tempo hacienda cajitas

If there were any on either side Of that great mine
scale conference who were in doubt where the govern
ment Of the United States stands that doubt was re-
moved by the admirably frank statement Of Secretary
Wilson. At the same time his equally frank assertion
that the men ought to have money will go long
way toward reconciling the public which will have 20
pay the bill to any agreement that is arrived at.
