SCHOOLS FAIL TO

Island Educator Has Informed
President Why System
Is Failure.

NEW YORK, March 21.-In a COM
munication has just been sent to Pres
ident Wilson by Prof. f. Rodriguez Io-
pei, supervisor of schools at Guyanilla,
Porto Rico, the entire educational ad-
mi~nistration in Porto Rico, under Amer
lean direction, is attacked. 1t is ex-
planned that from 1900 until the present
day there has been constant change in
the curriculum of the schools in the eff
fort to introduce the English language,
with the result that the elementary
schools have been in many cases a fail
ure.
Prof. Lopez reviews the changes in
the course of which English was first a
special subject and Spanish was the
language of instruction and tells how
this system was upset and turned about
three distinct times. 1t has led to a
certain chaos in the minds of the schol-
ars of Porto Rico, he declares.

and ii seems they still think, that Ian
guage is the strongest factor in the
A~mericanization of the island. Hence
the haste in introducing it into our
school without consideration of the
conditions winch oppose such action
namely, that the changing of the Ian
guage in a conquered country, If easily
made in ancient times, is a thing wholly
out of place in modern times; hat even
in ancient times it was impossible wher
the language of the conquerors was no
far superior to the language of the
conquered; and that such a task in a
country having n population of ovel
a million people is not a problem to be
solved in a jiffy.

born Is this accomplished in the
schools of Porto Rico? Not at all.
I'm order that the Porto Rican school
system should accomplish its double
purpose of education and Americaniza-
ton 1t should be radically changed.
1T should not be in the hands Of an
exotic man, but intrusted to a superior
board Of education formed of our best
school men. The schools should be di-
vided into classes and the curriculum Of
each class prepared in accordance with
Children's facilities to attend them.
Spanish should be the sole medium of
instruction in all the elementary schools,
and English a special subject taught in
grades seventh and eighth by methods
such as are recommended for Spanish
speaking people. The education Of de-
fective children should be taken care of,
and the professional efficiency of teach
ers should be improved by all means
possible. Textbooks should be composed
by Porto Rican educators, and high
schools and colleges should be organized
on the half and half plan-SCiences in
English, letters in Spanish.
when two or three generations have
been educated under the proposed plan
the environment win possibly be favor
able to attempt a further step in the
introduction of the English language,
and then the Americanization of the
people through the schools would be a
self-born fact inc not a forced condi-
ton, as it is at present"

TURKS REFUSE TO SAY
THEY ARE @VANQUISHED

LONDON, March q. Correspondence
Of the Associated Press THE Turks
are by no means convinced that they
are vanquished, and show few signs
Of regret that they were ever the allies
Of the central powers, according to n
French correspondent who has returned
from Constantinople, The correspond
ent attributes this failure on the part
of the Turks 10 realize their actual
situation to the fact that the British
and French commanders In the Turkish
capital have not acted like conquerors
and imposed their authority m the
Turks.
The correspondent declares that he
| was unable to convince the leading
Turks Of the complete victory OF the
allies and of the definite crushing Of
the German military power, and adds
that this Is due to the fact that the
allied troops did not enter STEAMBOAT
with flags flying, because the allied Of
ficers did not install themselves as
masters in the different ministries, and
