PROGRESS IN
PORTO RICO
EXHIBITED IN LECTURE BY
PROFESSOR BRUMBAUGH.
How Choas in Educational Methods
in That Beautiful Little Island
Was, Under American Initiative,
Converted Into Order and What
This Means for the Future of the
Porto Ricnns and of This Country.
The following iibbtruct of a lecture
Riven recently by Professor SI. 3.
Brumbaugh, of the University of Penn
sylvania, before its Graduate rlub will
be of interest both to his many Scran
ton friends nml to nil who are con
cerned in the educational welfare of
Porto Rico. Profess-or Brumbaugh was
appointed conunis.iioner of education
lor Porto Rico by the late President
aicKlnley and his work in that post has
been notably painstaking, patriotic and
elliclent. Ho said:
"When the smoke of the Spanish
American war lifted from the island of
Porto Rico, the Americans found an
Island forty inll"S wide, one bundled
long, with mountains towering almost
4,000 feet and an outlook upon a dream
land of luxuriance and of poverty. A
population of almost 1,000,000 was
crowded upon this area of less than
S.COO suuuie miles, and for their educa
tion Spain allotted about 240,000 pesos,
or less than 3 per cent, of the annual
budgetary funds.
"The American army organized a pto
vlsional government, and, under a mili
tary governor, the Island was ruled dur
ing the terrible hurricane of 1899 and
until the congress made provision 1'or
civil government. Spain never gave the
people a voice in their government,
The so-called autonomous government
was never organized. April 12, 1900, the
president of the United States approved
the act of congress known as the For
aker bill 'an act temporarily to provide
for civil government In Porto Rico.'
This net provided that civil government
should become operative In May, 1900,
nnd that there should be a governor, an
executive council of eleven members
and a house of delegates of thirty-five
members. The executive council Is
made up of the six cabinet officers of
the governor and live native citizens,
They also sit as a senate during ses
sions of the legislature, and have entire
control of nil franchise matters in the
island.
PROGRESS SHOWN.
"Among these councilman Is the com
missioner of education. "When, by per
sonal Insistence of the president, I was
given leave of absence from my. uni
versity labors to iissutuc this otllce, no
one could foresee the tremendous task
that was awaiting us: 915,000 human
beings In Porto Rico and S3 per cent,
illiterate! The schools organized by the
military bureau of education had en
rolled about 23,003 pupils, and $330,000
were expended in the llscnl year IS'J'J
1900 for theso pupils. In the nest school
year at nn cxpenso of $100,000, 38,000
children attended the schools, and this
year, with u budget of $301,000, wu have
!I92 schools nnd &0.000 pupils enrolled.
This represents In part the growth of
the school Idea In Porto Rico, Last
year wo reduced the percentage of Illit
eracy fully G per cent,, and had an av
erage attendance of 75 per cent., being
the largest gain In literacy, and, with
Massachusetts excepted, the largest av
erage of any country under our (lag,
"At tho outset of the civil government
tha peoplo were discontented and lios
tile to the schools. Tho reason's for this
are too complex for analysis. That the
military authorities made mistakes and
tluit the people wore all too prone to
censure are alike true; and It Is also
just to state that many good things
.wore- done during the reign of martini
law. The fact remains that u new sys
temIn fact a system whero none ex
isted was yet to bo created.
"A now school law In many provi
sions similar to that used In our old
est states, was written and promptly
enacted by tho Insular legislature and
it lius now been In operation for almost
ciiui year. Its provisions have proven
eminently wise.nnd under it the scheols
have become .t tremendous forco In
Americanizing tho Island. The only
note of opposition heard In many
months comes from a hostile pro-Spanish
paper, which claims that the sys
tem Is advancing to rapidly that the
children cannot keep pace with tho de
partment. This, of course, Is more a
compliment than u criticism. Tt will be
many years before Porto Rico need fear
its education Is overdone,
MINORITY REPRESENTATION,
"The political parties In tho respec
tive municipalities one year ago re
fused minority representation on the
school board and forbade the election
of teachers holding political opinions at
variance with their own. Today we
have complete minority representation
and the teachers chosen solely upon
their merit. The Spanish conception,
that a school Is a vested right, exist
ing for the teachers, is gone. The
American conception, that a school is
an opportunity, that It exists for the
child, is now universal. Good teachers
are sought; poor ones are discharged.
"Over one hundred teachers from tbe
states, and over eight hundred natives
are now employed. The native teachers
almost all teach English. In nil schools
the children sing our national songs in
English and read from English books.
Every school Is carefully supervised
and inspected monthly by competent
supervisors all but one being Ameri
cans who are the personal agents of the
commissioner of education and report
to him daily. There are sixteen of
these and they hove done a good work.
CONTRASTS.
"Spain in 400 jears never elected a
single school hou"e in Porto Rico. AVe
have expended $00,000 in the erection
of twenty-one agricultural and fifteen
graded school buildings. Above S.090
pupils now receive instruction in mod
ern school houss. All pupils In all
schools are furnished books and sup
plies absolutely tree. The most patri
otic scholars under the Hag today are
our HO, 000 boys and girls In Poito Rico.
AW have a first-class normal school in
operation, with an enrollment of almost
200 pupils. Tuition and books are free.
A large and beautiful building for this
normal school at a cost $40,000, Is now
nenrlng completion at Rio Pledras. The
school in the meantime is held in the
summer palace of the governor. High
schools, as good as any in the cities of
eiual size here, aie organized in every
city in which pupils are ready to pur
sue the- course.
"This Is, In brief, an outline of a work
that has been entranclngly interesting,
without precedent, and successful "oe
yond the dreams of the most sanguine.
Porto Rico now wants a star in the flag
of the Union. She has already learned
that the door of entrance to statehood
is the door of the public school."

CONTRACT FOR
SCHOOL DESKS
AGAIN BEFORE THE COURT FOR
CONSIDERATION.
For a Second Tinio tho Court Is
Asked to Interfere nnd Prevent
tho Execution of a Contract Be
tween P. 3. Noon nnd the School
District of Lackawanna Town
Bhip New Ward Created in Tay
lor Borough Mrs. Louise Kittle
Seeks a Divorce.
There was a hearing before Judge
John P. Kelly yesterday afternoon In
tho canity proceedings tit' Michael Ly
den against Patrick Phllbln, John
Fitzhenry, Thomas Sullivan, Thomas
Burke nnd Jnthes Durkln, members of
the school board of Lackawanna
township,
Some months ago, tho defendants
met and awarded the contract for
furnishing -100 desks to the school dis
trict to 1 J. Noot; of l'lttston, ngont
for Seavey & Company, of Chicago.
The price of the desks was to bo $2.C0,
$2.50 nnd $2.10, according to size. Tho
contract was awarded in the absence
of Thomas Coyne, a member of the
board, who It was shown was not noti
fied of the calling of tho special meet
ing at which the desk mat
ter was considered. It was fur
ther alleged that the prlr.c paid
for the desks was too high, that
they were of an inferior character and
that In any event only 100 desks were
needed by tho district, as It had o
stock of 300 on hand.
An Injunction was sought to prevent
the execution of the contract and the
court made It permanent, because of
the Irregularities charged. The board
met on Nov. 2G and again awarded
the contract to Noon. Coyne alleges
that he was not notified of this meet
ing until the day after It was held,
and another Injunction was asked for
by Lyden to again prevent the execu
tion of the contract.
Yesterday the first hearing on this
injunction was held and Messrs. Fltz
henry, Phllbln and Coyne, of the
board, were examined. Detective Wil
liam Clifford testilled that he had
made a diligent effort to subpoena
Noon, but had been unable to find him.
Because of his absence, the hearing
was continued until next Monday at
2 p. 111.
Attorney D. J. Reedy and Attorney
John McGahren appeared for Lyden

This fliimul altor-Christrrm
trade festival is an event wist
buyers have learned to wait
for, with patience.
The "crumbs" or in other
words, the odd pieces left bv
Holiday shoppers, are imme
diately collccied in the differ

for the slaughterwith but
one consideration "move
them and do it quickly."
Nevvsp.tng goods are arriv

must be made for them. This
progressive policy is what
causes so many customers to
exclaim: "O ! how bright
and new everything is here."
Ple.ise bear in mind one im
portant fact: "Economy"
goods are all marked in plain
figures. ThousanJs of people
have lately inspected the bar
gains relerred to below, and
they, particularly, will more
than appreciate "Christmas

sweeping price reductions.
