It will bo remembered that Dr. UrumbatiKh wan appointed United States Commissioner of Ed ucation In Porto Rico bv the late President McKlnloy. lie is very en thusiastic over the immense resources 01 our new colony, wiiicn he says cannot be equalled elsewhere In the world. He snid that money Is pouring into the island, that the people are happy and patriotically devoted to the United States government and American institutions. Thej are looking forward to securing territor ial rights, and hope that Porlo Rico will ultimately be admitted intoruli statehood. The work accomplished by the Comlsslon, ot which Dr. Brumbaugh is the heud, is most wonder! u I, a complete change in the educational system of the Island having been brought about. The draft of the new school laws submitted by the Com missioner were adopted without change, though they revolutionized the entire educational system. Dr. Brumbaugh, 'In a report which he will submit to President Roosevelt, says that when civil government was , estanllshed. there were only (112 suiioois reported open during some part of the year. Under the regime or the United States C'unmislson, a term of nine months has been main tained throughout the island and during the entire llrst school year 75)2 schools were maintained, with an attendance or :W,000 pupils. The av erage attendance was 7." per cent, one per centum h-ss than Massachus etts ann one per centum more than Pennsylvania. The second school year began Sep tember :i(. 1001 There now arc 082 schools and f0,000 pupils. Everywhere there is a demand for more schools. Fo- lMMl-OO the military gncm nient allotted :i:U),(KK for education. Of this sum over $30,000 was unex pended because the proposed number ol schools was not opened. For 15)00- 01 the civil government gave Dr. Brumbaugh $400,000. nU lof which was used jualciuusly. For the pres ent liscal year $."101,000 is devoted to education. In additicn to this sum $2:10,000 has been allotted to the Commission to erect punlic school buildings. One year ago theic was not ono school building in Porto Rico. Porto Rico now has thirty- six buiiriings completed and In use, ; and twelve In process of erection The insular normal school, at a cost or $.i:),000, Is being erected.; at Rio Piedros. 1 he corner stone was laid November 1 with imposing cere-1 -tmrnttrrTinurn uie prcsu-ice 01 z.uuu 1 porsons.
