SCHOOLS IN PORTO RICO
Present JEdu tiopal Conditipns , in TJncle
Sara's New Possession ,
ATTENDANCES FAR BELOW THE AVERAGE
I'rogrciiti In Gduoutliifr luillnii Yonth
mill What tlio II OH ul ( N Are 1'oM-
tliui of Women in ( he Col-
'of the World.
In a letter to the Chicago Record Trumbull
White , staff correspondent of that paper at
San Juan , gives an Interesting Insight Into
the educational facilities of Uncle Sara's new
possession Porto nico. The United States
assumes complete dominion over the Island
today and necessarily the echools como
within the scope of Its authority. The num
ber , condition and equipment of the schools
are therefore a matter of national Interest.
At the outBet Mr. Whlto states that his
Information was obtained from Mr. Krancla
Sabat , a Porto Rlcan official , graduate of an
American college and formerly a resident of
Bridgeport , Conn. Mr. White says :
For the administration of the schools tbo
Island Is divided Into two wards , called
north and south , respectively. Altogether
there are 551 schools , of which 510 are pub
lic and the rest arc private Institutions. Of
these403 arc for boys and US for girls.
Altogether there arc in attendance pupils
to the number of 27,938 , of whom 10,074 arc
boya and 8SGI are girls. The neglect to
take advantage of what schools there are
Is shown by the fact that according to the
last census there are 65,305 boys of school
ago In the Island and 60,330 girls. In 1897
the Island spent on Its schools 11 total of
332,367 peeos. The two wards , north and
south , have almost the same population and
number of schools , so that the amounts ex
pended are divided as nearly equally us pos
sible and little jealousy rises on that score.
ID the Island cabinet , under the auton
omous government which was granted by
Spain too late to save the colony , there Is a
minister of education and public works ,
under , whoso special care the schools are
Intended to be. The organization Is not a
complicated one , for , though strange terms
are used In the nomenclature , they arc ar
ranged In grades quite similar to our own.
There arc first the primary schools for chil
dren less than 5 years of age. Next come
the auxiliary schools , and then the ele
mental or grammar grades , The high school
Is called the superior school. These divi
sions are pretty well maintained in the cities ,
but In the country the "ruralcs" are schools
which contain all the grades In one , just
as our llttlo district schoolbouso does at
homo la the north.
&cx In the School * .
It Is an Index of many other conditions of
the Island to know that in Che schools
there U no association of the sexes , girls
and boys being taught In different places
altogether. Not only are there no mixed
chooU , but boya are taught by men and
girls by women teachers. The only excep
tion to thin Is that children under 5 years
go to mixed schools and the teachers of
those echoolu are women.
Children of the poor who are unable to pay
the coat of. tuition and school books are
not charged for either of these. But they
are required to bring to the school a cer
tificate from the mayor of the town , stat
ing the condition as to their means. The
school law provided frankly for the two
classes under the words "rich" and "poor. "
I find that 4S6S of the children In school
nre classified as "loa pobres" and consequently
quently do not have to pay for books or tui
tion. All others pay tuition for their edu
cation instead of school taxe * , thU being
the way In which the system Is supported.
U U Interesting to note that there ore
tbreu schools for adults two In tbo north
ward of the island and one In the south
ward with a , total attendance of 171. ,
After the young folk finish the work ot
the superior schools , .vshlca do not carry1
them as high as do our High schools by at
least two years' work , there remains for
them hi Porto Rico but ono thing higher i
the Institute. The government supports a
collegiate Institute In the capital , which ,
from all I can learn , seems to be a very
good school. U gives to Its graduates the
degree of D. A. , but that degree does not
mean as much education as It Is presumed
to mean In American colleges. It would bo
perhaps a fair comparison to gay that It
Indicates studies about on a level with
i
those of the sophomore yean In a college at
home. 'Tho entering class each year num
bers about 100 students and the graduating'
class , after four years' study , turns outi
from fifteen to twenty with the degree ,
Out three young women over have been'
graduated from the Institute , though the
courses are open to men and women alike ,
on equal terms. The three who were grad
uated wcro much admired for their per
sistency for , as my Informant put It , "girls
do npt care much about such things In this
Island. "
The course of study requires that the stu
dent shall take one modern language
French , German or English , as he may
elect. ( Most of the graduates whom I mot
bad chosen French and now are regretting
the fact that they did not learn English.
Among the branches taught are Latin and
Greek , chemistry , geology , botany , physics ,
algebra , geometry and hUtory. The sci
ences are taught In rather elemental fashIon -
Ion , however , as the Institute Is not very
well provided with laboratory facilities. A
'tuition fee of 2 % pesos a year for each
branch studied Is charged in the Institute.
College UruiliintcM.
The usual age ot students at graduation li
18 or 19 years. If they dcs're ' education be
yond that they must go abroad for It , as
I'orto Rico offers nothing more. Spanish
universities receive most of those who seek
to bo physicians or lawyers. Medical degrees -
( , grees from colleges In the United Sta'es have
j not been recognized In the Island and do not
glvo the right to practice , which , of cour'c ,
b rs them out. The legal elucallon ono
would get In an American university would
be of little service In practice in Porto R'co
as the courts have been organized. Students
in dentistry go always to the United Stake ,
and In San Juan the American dentist is at
the top as truly as he Is In London or Aus
tralia. 1 found two young men who had
born graduated In dent 1 school's In the
north , both of them thoroughly competent
and. employing the most modern mc hods.i
Students of engineering and kindred pro
fessions almost all go to the United States
for their education and rank high whcn the/
return. There has been no false notion here
about the excellence of American s-hooli.
My friend did the young women ot t' o U and
some Inlustlce as to the1' desire for M-
tlon. MiJny of them have gone to the United
States to attend school and the advantage
they have had Is recognized frankly among
their friends.
The church schools have been Included in
the foregoing statistics , In which they Oo
not form as large a part as the general 1m-
preaslon has It. Roman Catholic slaters
teach some of the girls' schools and that Is
about all. But there is a priests' college
for the Instruction of candidates for the
priesthood. I am told that It has been a
frequent practice for young men to enter
this institution for the purpose of becoming
priests' , remain long enough to get their ed
ucation and leave without entering the min
istry. The church docs not dominate the
schools here as fully as It does In Cuba.
In tbo other cities of the island they are
not so well provided , but here in the capital
there Is an excellent public library of sev
eral thousand volumes , well selected and
well arranged , with a good reading room
and facilities for consulting the books. It
hat llttlo recent literature except Spanish
and French. But the historical collections
are very good In all languages and no doubt
the < avant who might burrow there suf
ficiently would find In the obscurest shelves
some treasure of early Spanish printing or
one ot the fluent odltlons of famoui maps
and voyages into the Spanish main , If Indeed
there were not Caxtons. It U north the
search of some one who has the time and
patience. The book shops of the Island ,
too , would repay scrutiny.
KilucutluK the Indian * .
Old Geronlmo's criticism ot the uselessness -
ness of the' ' existing system-ot educating
Indian youth is not borne out by
statistics collected by the commis
sioner of Indian affaire. The Apache
chief was quoted as saying that as no suit
able employment Is provided for the edu
cated youne Indian he Is turned loose on
the reservation and his education Is ot no
practical service to himself or the tribe.
' The commissioner of Indian affairs , in his
annual report , says : "As to the value ot
j j educational methods of these pupils , data
| was collected from a careful canvass of all .
'
, returned pupils then living upon the reser- '
] vatlons , including a sketch of the character
and conduct of each with reference to the
results of their educational course at the
school attended. The result was surpris
ing and will bear comparison with similar
statistics from white schools. Of the pupils
who had attended school , although only a
small per cent graduated , yet 3 per cent
are reported as excellent , or first class ; 73
per cent as good or medium and only 24
per cent are considered ns bad or worth
less and upon whom the benefits of school .
life conferred no appreciable advantages.
All of these thousands of educated boys
and girls , speaking the English language ,
weaned from tribal customs and Iron bands
of tradition , cannot fail to exert a powerful
and far-reaching Influence upon the quar
ter ot u million of Indians scattered throughout - |
out the United States. "
The commissioner dwells at considerable
length upon the education of these wards of
the government and says that education Is
the greatest factor In solving the future
status of the Indian. The methods employed
to bring about such desirable- results are
the outcome ot serious thought and study
and are the gradual evolution of years ot
experience In dealing with the Indian. The
educational branch of the Indian office has
I grown 'from small beginnings until now It
IB ono ot the most Important under the con
trol of the department. In 1877 there wcro
forty-eight small boarding and 102 day
, schools , with on attendance of only 3,508
I pupils , while today there , are 147 well
' equipped boarding schools nnd an equal
number of day schools engaged in the education - ,
cation of 23,952 pupils. ' i
Ths commissioner advises legislation lookIng -
Ing to the compulsory education of Indian
children and suggests that un Item bp In
corporated In the appropriation law that
the commissioner of Indian affairs should
have the right to transfer advanced pupils
\ from the various Indian schools to other
I and larger schools situated In other states ,
1 without the consent of Barents and guar
dians , when , In his Judgment , the best In
terests of such pupils would be subserved ,
j As to the government day schools , the
i principal difficulty has been to maintain a
regular attendance upon the dally sessions
of the schools , but the establishing of the
noonday luncheon has had the result of
bringing up the attendance. The plan ot
placing Indian children In the public schools
of the country for the purpose of -oduca- -
tlon of the races , conceived In 1690 , does
not appear to meet with much success.
IllKhcr Uilt.eiitloti for Women. i
The statement has appeared that nearly
one-fifth of the students at Swiss universi
ties are women. Investigation shows , says
the New York Sun , that this statement , If
not entirely exact , Is nearly so , and that
the proportion of women students at Swiss
colleges ( the standard of education in
Switzerland is very high ) Is larger than In
other European countries. There were by
the last published bulletin at the seven
Swiss universities , Basel , Zurich , Berne ,
Geneva , Lausanne , Freiburg un Neuchatel ,
3,143 matriculated students. Of this number
654 were women , which is less than one-flfth ,
but more- than one-sixth of the total , dnd
the fact Is to be considered that of the whole
number of students In Swiss colleges 358
are pursuing a course In theology and ESS
In law , the majority of women student * , of )
course , taking medicine or philosophy. In ,
the consideration of the university statistics i
tf Switzerland the fact Is to be remembered
that very nearly one-half of the students
In the mountain republic are foreigners
1,427 of the 3,143 coming frCjjn Russia , EngI I
laud and Germany. |
In Russia from recent rWorts It would
seem'that In respect of "higher education
more and bettor recognltlonls given to female -
male students than In some other countries
In which the standard of education Is higher.
In the primary schools of Russia the proportion
tion of girls to boys Is about twelve to
thirty , but In what is known as the Ladles'
university nt St. Petersburg there are 557
female students , in the girls' institute or
high schools ot Russia 8,000 and in the girls'
gymnasia 70,000 2,000 more than the number
of young men at the corresponding schools.
In some of the medical colleges of England
and Scotland female students are admitted
and there are besides several university
colleges for women Newnham college ,
Cambridge , with 16C students ; Olrton col
lege ; Cambridge , with 108 students , and Lady
Margaret and Somervllle halls , Oxford , the
former with forty-eight students and the
latter with seventy-one. There is ft college
for women in London with 192 students
and another In Edinburgh. The Royal
Holloway college nt Egham has 111 stu
dents.
- In Denmark , In which primary instruc
tion has been compulsory for more than
eighty years and Illiteracy is practically
unknown , the University of Copenhagen ,
now more than 400 years old , admits women
on equal terms with men to all branches
except theology. There are 1,300 students
In the University of Copenhagen. In re
spect to the higher education of women ,
however , Switzerland may bo said to bo a
pioneer among European countries and its
advance In this particular Is duo
very largely to the fact that po
litical conditions have favored it.
Switzerland Is bounded by four
countries frequently at wnr with ono an
other , but all of them accepting and gen
erally respecting Switzerland's claim to bo
neutral territory. It has long been the
favorite place of asylum for political refu
gees from other countries , some of them
teachers and others taking up as their
only means of livelihood the Instruction of
others.

FORT OMAHA IS TO BE USED
Government | -Will Very Likely Rehabilitate
the Formerly Populous Post.
ONE RESULT OF GENERM. MILES' ' VISIT
IN Inancutlon. Followed ! > > Iiintrne-
tloim to 1'rciiurc un nNtlniiite of
thi * Coat of IteimlrM to Make
the IMiicc lluhllnlile.
As a result ot the recent visit of General
Mellon A. Miles to this city there IK a
movement on foot to rehabilitate old Fort
Omaha and to UBO It for military purposes.
The movement Is backed by General Miles ,
the officers of the Department of the Mis
souri , and Is said to have the hsarty sup
port of Assistant Secretary of War Melkle-
john. With this backing army officers be-
Hevo that the act ot congress providing
for the sale cf the old military post will
be suspended , and that before long the
regular Infantrymen will bo again drilling
on the beautiful parade grounds of Fort
Omaha.
On Saturday morning Assistant Secre
tary of War Melklejohn and General Shatter
nnd staff made an Inspection of Fort Omaha ,
now occupied by the Second regiment of
Nebraska volunteer infantry. General Miles
made a visit there Friday and expressed
himself as desirous of having the post fitted
UD for use of the regular army , adding that
the prospective Increase In the size of the
army would make additional posts necessary ,
and as the government already owned Fort
Omaha , It would be more advleable to rc-
babltato It than to purchase property for a
new post.
General Miles requested the Department of
the Missouri to make a thorough Inspection
of the post nnd to prepare an
estimate of the expPiiEo Involved in
fitting up the post for military
uses. The Inspection wan made on Saturday
and Sunday , and the estimate of necessary
expenditures prepared and mailed to the
War department at Washington yester
day. About $42,000 will be required to be
spent nt the post in order to re-open It for
military purposes. This estimate provides
for the construction of no ImlldlngH , al
though all of the buildings would bo prac
tically now when the repairs proposed were
completed. New roofs for most of the
buildings , new floors In all of them , now
weather boards for the barracks und the
cottages and some minor repairs constitute
the principal Items in the estimate for
warded to Washington at General Miles' re
quest.
In speaking ot the proposed reopening of
Fort Omahn for tbo regular army , an offl-
cer of the army said to a Bee reporter : "I
am heatily In favor of It Although only
the first step In the movement has just been
taken , I think it not unlikely that it will
succeed. There Is every reason why it
should be done. Tbo best reason Is that the
government owns the post. With the In
crease that Is going to be made In the slzo
of the army , there must be more posts pro
vided. If the Twenty-second regiment now
stationed at Fort Crook Is increased to
twelve companies , there will not he room
at Fort Crook for the regiment. There are
quarters there for only eight companies.
Additional room must be secured for the
other companies. It would be much better
to have this additional battalion located at
Fort Omaha than out at Fort Robinson or
Fort Nlobrara. Six hundred men can be ac
commodated at Fort Omaha. The- post could
be put In as good condition as any 'poitt wo
have for $42,000 , and with an expenditure of
$100,000 , I believe , the post could be ad
mirably maintained for the next twonty-Qve
years. "
Co m | > 11 m ml * the Second.
One of the nicest compliments that has
been tendered to the officers and men of
the Second Nebraska regiment since they
were called Into tbo service ot the govern
ment has just apppeared In u circular issued
by Brigadier General Sumner , commanding
the Department of the Missouri. U. S. A.
The circular is signed by Henry C. Hodges ,
Jr. , captain of the Twenty-second infantry ,
acting assistant adjutant general ot the de
partment. It is as follows :
The Second regiment , Nebraska volunteer
infantry , having returned from furlough for
muster out , were called upcn to guard the
president of the United States on the occa
sion of his visit to the TransinlBslssippl
Exposition. Thu good discipline of the regi
ment with the exact iierformance of every
duty required was observed by all officers
preoent , and the department commander de-
Blres to thank the regimental commander
and hlu men for their valuable services on ]
that day.
The process of mustering out the Second
Nebraska regiment at Fort Omaha Is pro
gressing rapidly. Yesterday the members of
Company G were belns physically examined
| by the surgeons In charge. When this com
pany Is examined the physical examination
of the regiment will be complete.
ODD FELLOWS' PROGRAM OFF

CilvcN AVllj ( o u Ileeeilloll | To-
nlKht nt Their llnlln.
All of the exercises planned for Odd Fel
lows' day yesterday wcro abandoned , not
only In town , but out at the exposition as
well. In a measure to make up for this de
ficiency In entertainment a reception will
bo tendered the visiting brethren and
Daughters of Rebekah at the two halls on
the corner of Foiirteeenth nnd Dodge streets
this evening. An address ot welcome will
bo made by Mayor Moorcs nnd short
speeches will also be made by some of the
visitors and by some of the local Odd Fel
lows. Light refreshments will also be
served.
The prevalence of weather necessitating
the postponement of these exercises Is a
keen disappointment to the local Odd Fel
lows' committee. For thrro mouths It has
been at work advertising the day nnd workIng -
Ing up an Interest In the order which would
contribute to the success of the celebration ,
and to have the uffortB nullified by a freak
of the elements Is discouraging. But while
thu weather tucceedcd In knocking out the
parade and other festivities of a public na
ture , It did not suppress the energy ot the
members ot the local committee , for they
have set out on short notice to give tbo
visitors a good time Inside the house , and
the receptions this evening were agreed
upon.
At Odd Fellows' Bureau of Information
nn Fourteenth street. It was not known this
mornlns how many members of the order
had arrived In the city. The nature of the
weather was such that few ventured out
oven to report the arrival of their party.
H Is believed that many of the brethren ore
now In the city , or on the way , and that the
sudden chance in the weather would only
affect the plans of those who lived within a
short distance of the city.
It was at first proposed to have the exer
cises postponed until today , but upon In
vestigation ; it was found that the Aud'to-
Hum at the exposition could not bo secured
then , as It had been engaged for another
program , and It was then that a complete
abandonment of tbo program was regret
fully decided upon.
