 It was Ponce de Leon. however, who seized upon It's economic val- ues. Finding Q small amount of gold in one of tho streams near San Juan he promptly named the isle "Rich Port" (Puerto Rico) and proceeded to set up fortiAca- tlons.
 Thus San Juan became the first Spanish fertilization in the new world. Here. Ponce de Leon erected the sturdy and beautiful Casa Blanca which has stood to this day. And here. too, the ex- plorer laid plans for his quest for the fountain of youth, quest which was to bring his tragic death later.
 San Juan he made c fortress within a fortress. Moro Castle, added later, strengthened the Spanish position. Iimprcgnable, t withstood from time to time the onslaught of Sir Francis Drake. the Dutch and the English fleets.
 No Notifications, however, could stop the revolt which swept the island in the late i0th century. Puerto Ricans wanted e new free- dom. And in 1898 the United States stepped in to proclaim that freedom. At the close of the Spanish.American war the island was formally ceded to Us.

Parents, board members and teach

ing points brought out in recent let
ter from Deputy Commissioner, A. B.
Calwell, of the Minnesota State De-
partment of Education:
Change of Fiscal Year-The State
Board of Education has approved a
recommended change in the fiscal
school year. The change goes into
effect on July l, 1888. The school
year will begin then on July l in
stead of August l. Reports for the
year 1878 will cover the II months,

let us, in the words of President

stitutiOn is an enduring instrument

fit for the governing of a small
agrarian nation of less than four mil

NOTICE TO A NOMINEE

A LOT of folks today believe that
IA when political parties are con-
vening, the favored candidates,
wherever they may be, have one
ear to a keyhole, a wetted finger
uplifted to test direction of the po-
litical winds, and have set their ra-
dio dials the proper wave length
to listen in on convention hall.
Maybe they're right.
But it wasn't always like that.
We had ten Presidents before the
man who was destined to become
the eleventh, James K. Polk Of
Tennessee, was informed of his
candidacy by telegraph.
The dots and dashes that spelled
out Folks surprising overthrow of
Martin Van Buren, in the Demo-
cratic convention of 1874 were inn
pulses over a newly-built line of
scene of the convention, and Wash
ington. Polk, who was waiting in
Washington, was the first man who
received the news in what is to-
day a commonplace fashion.
Van Buren,, seeking to succeed
himself, was easily the favorite.
But he had steadily lost ground at
the Baltimore meeting after being
placed ION the spot" by the ques-
ton of the annexation of Texas.
Southern delegates began to forsake
his candidacy in large numbers.
His managers attempted to change
the party's new two-thirds rule to
a majority ukase, but were unsuc-
cessful.
A steady drift to Polk began on
the ninth ballot of the convention.
Strangely enough, a letter from
jackson, Van Buren's mentor,
which pleaded for harmony, helped
complete the rout in Folks favor.
The telegraph wire served for
one more purpose on this momen-
tous occasion. Sen. Silas Wright
was in Washington and had been
rendered second place on the tick
ct with Polk. He was angry over
the shelving of Van Buren,, so the
dots and dashes which came back
over the wire carried his indignant
refusal of this chance to become
the vice-president Of the United
Estates.
