December /. 1920.
Upon my return to Washington
frpm Porto Rico, where I have been
since the adjournment Of the last ses-
sion of Congress, my attention has
been called to the article appearing in
y6pr issue Of Sunday. November ~.
entitled, Porto Rican Boys Balk at
English-Think Island Will Soon Be
Useless"
The basis for the published article
was the alleged strike" of boys be-
tween the ages of twelve and four
teen in one of the island schools, who
took this course to escape the DIM
ctilties and the tedium of their lessons
IN English.
If such strike actually took place In
one of the schools, it was an occur
renee Of such minor importance as to
escape the notice of the great mass OF
the Porto Rican people. l heard no ref
erence to it during my entire stay on
the island, and the first intimation | re-
ceived of such happening was When
the article in last Sundays Star was
brought to my attention.
At Most = Childish Prank.
But, assuming that such strike"

read Of these antics Of boys between
twelve and fourteen years Of age" Such
grave treatment of childish escapade,
most of the boys not having yet reached
the age of adolescence, should carry its
own refutation in the mere recital Of the
facts.
But the prank of these children seems
to have been seized upon to give a quasi
official aspect to the matter and to
serve as a vehicle for attacking the
loyalty Of a very large element of the

from various schools stating that snow
ball battles have been the cause Of
broken windowpanes.
School officials are considering some
remedial measures to put an end to the
destruction of windowpanes. They
contend that the character of the boys
should be improved by imbuing in them
that respect for law and order. consti-
tuted authority and ones elders that
used to make us think twice before we
would throw q brick through a window
when we were boys.
The officials also are conferring over
a plan Of having Boy Scouts in the
schools instructed not to throw stones,
bricks and other such implements in
the vicinity Of school buildings. They
will ask the Boy Scouts to urge their
playmates not to do so.
