are being nade now by the Rockefeller
Foundation and the |InsuIar Health De-
partment in their campaign against
hookWOrm disease, to provide a latrine
fer every country home.
On account Of the mild tropical climate
the housewife in Porto Rico does not
have to bother about keeping the house
warm 10 winter, and naturally this added
burden would give her some concern and
perplexity when pmigrating to the Unit
ed States. The necessity for more sub
stantlal food in this climate is also some
thing she would have to learn.

There is no race entagonjsm in Porto
Rico. The island has a POPULATION Ct
1900, 600. about three-fOurth Of whom
are whites. one-fOurth muIattOes, and
four or five thousand pure-blOoded
negroes. The white inhabitants are prac.
ticaIly all of Spanish descent, aud for
eigners other than Spaniards are very
scarce. Che American colony comprises
about two thousand. The negroes and
mulattoes are to be found mainly in the
coast towns, especially in the n%ei2hbor-
hood of the sugar c%entrals where they
work as laborers, while the white pre-
dominate almost exclusively in the noun
famous regions of the interior. Socially,
the white part of the population keeps
separate from the cOIOred, each having
irs own clubs and social gatherings; and
marriages between white and cOlOred are
quite uncommon and not looked upon
with favor by the better classes. Among
the peasants End lowest classes in towns,
however, social mixture Of both races is
common Nobody is kept from fuy
church, theatre, or public vehicle on a.
count of race.
About so per cent eff the people n POI
to Rico are still iiIiterate, although great
efforts are being made toleduce this per-
centage as fast as possible. Almost one
half of the annual budget spent by the

are at present over four thousand public
school teachers in the island, and spIen-
cid school buildings are to be seen every.

Moral standards among the poor class
es in Porto-Rico are somewhat different
from those in the United States. Pub.
lie opinion is rather lenient towards con
cubinage. and the country girl will often
willingly form a permanent home with
her sweetheart without requiring the
formal ceremonies Of a legal marriage.
Such a union does not bring any stig-
ma upon the children which might re-
suit from it.
Housekeeping among the poor in Porto
Rico is very simple as compared with
that in the United States. Among the
jibaros, the furniture consists only of
one or two rough benches and two or
three large boxes which serve at the
same time as trunks and chairs. The
matched hut of the jibaro has as a rule
two rooms, the first one of which is
used as a parlor during the daytime.
At night, all the men of the household
sleep in one Of the rooms. and all the
women in the other. The kitchen oc
cupies a separate shed adjacent to the
main body of the house. There is often
