The Porto Rican Jibaro.
(New York Times. ]

The jibaro, who corresponds to the peon in Mexico, is the matter with Porto Rico in the opinion of Jose C. Rosario. To the San Juan journal Progress he contributes study of the jibaro Democracy, he says, will make no con siderable headway in Porto Rico until "the poor peasants living in the open country" who constitute than TO per cent of the inhabi- tants, are made the special of the school master and the doctor. Senior Rosario says:
 While the towns enjoy the benefits
 of full elemntary education and high
 schools for all those who wish to con
 tinue their training, the jibaro gets
 hardly a glimpse of the light, which is
 put out as soon he takes a few steps
 forward leaving him forever afterward
 in complete darkness, as far as educa-
 tion is concerned.
 In the rural parts 93 per cent. of the children never go beyond the third grade and 'ft is not long until they ignorant as if they had never received any education" Health regula- tions not enforced in the country The jibaro continues to live in squalor often a prey to disease He is voter-in the great majority of cases by symbol printed the ballot but he does not know how to use it to change his con- dition. The political chief of the barrie does his thinking for him. with the result that ''the jibaro votes with the party in power because therein lies his only hope of occasionally being treated as human being"
 Knowlton Mixer in his recent book on social and economic conditions in Porto Rico states that the jibaro, so wretehedly poor that he lives from hand to mouth every day, threatens to engulf the island unless he is recognized and assm- Hated" The conditions under which he has lived for centuries have been aggravated, rather than diminished, under American rule" One difficulty IS that he has been made to stay strictly in his class He accepts low wages and unemployment without protest No human being outside of Africa, lives so meanly, his house a shack built of straw and leaves of the royal palm the en- Vironment unsanitary He sometimes has two "lVes' and always a flock of children. A report to the Legislature says: "Our farm laborers are not an manifestations lot, they only set of Wretchedly forsaken creatures"
 To return to Senor Rosarios demand for re- clamation of the jibaro, he proposse that a month be set apart every year ito put before the people the living conditions of these 100000 Porto Rlcans He asks the Governors to call meeting or Mayors of municipalities to consider relief and bespeaks the cooperation of churches town casinos and trade unions. In some way the same education that the Government provides for the town should be introduced in the country dis tricts. After all, the jibaro is the mainstay of Porto Rico. It is his labor that produces bar- vests of sugar, coffee, tobacco and fruits
