"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE SUGGEST: Interest Shown In Agriculture and Good Roads Are Constructed—Telegraph and Telephones Installed Air Over the Island—Fruit Industry Grows—Schools Improved. Washington.-Since Uncle Sam assumed charge there has been wonderful progress on the island of Porto Rico, notably in the dissipation of ignorance that prevailed under Spanish rule, giving place to modern intelligence through the education received in the American school, which has spread all over the new territory acquired by the United States. Commercially the island is one of the most prosperous sections of the world, and only more American capitals and brains are awaited to bring millions more out of its soil resources. An extensive educational work is done by the museums throughout Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, large collections of exhibits being sent out to schools. To get material for the school exhibits and for the general exhibit in the buildings of the museums in West Philadelphia William L. Fisher was THE MEMORIAL CENTER GOVERNOR YAGER OF PORTO RICO, sent to Porto Rico, and he brought home many things that will be placed in the school exhibits and a large quantity of new specimens that will be put on exhibition in the museum; also a great deal of material for lectures. More articles of growth that show the progress of the island are still to be shipped to the museums. All the specimens Mr. Fisher brought home and ordered shipped will do much to advertise the new section of Uncle Sam's domain, declared the museu- rium's emissary. Where formerly the Philadelphia had ruled the island for what they could get out of it, taxing the income on the top floor and serving the poor and ignorant. Unlike many of the schools there taxes much less, and all the schools are better off with good schools all over the island in a condition that followed the efforts of Crown States Commissioner of Education Martin G. Brumbauch, the present superintendent of the Philadelphia school. The schools are now all over the island, in the cities and country districts, and new buildings where the young may be instructed are being erected in ev- Pioneer eny direction. When it comes to the government today, one of the most Japan transformed just like the building in the country, schooling teachers are natives, and in the city schools the supervision is carried up by the schools are Almost with the number of having been joined at a good or school at all. The in-tion in the schools is in St. Petersburg to the fifth grade, with lessons in the lish. At the time the instruction in the English is a little less in St. Petersburg and other languages, but the lower grades the textbook is more in St. Petersburg and the high grades the book is more in St. Petersburg. Mr. Fisher stated that one of the provement in Porto failed in the road construction. Up of the trunk road island connect to the possession on the country Spain had land only a military road access the island for the purpose of moving the army. It was found by Mr. Fisher that since 1945 the road building under Uncle Paine had progressed so rapidly that now there are over 1,000 miles of first class macadam roads in Porto. Paine once outspent up appointment selections in all parts of the company. There are about 100 miles of road as against a few soffered pieces of a round and bounish mine the present roads (being constructed) into a trunk line that extends about two thirds the distance from the island. The rock with the cone have been in talked peacefully and over the island. WITH BLAHK MIND OF MYSTIFIES A COLLEGE Man Can Only Remember Three Events In His Life. Pulham, Wash.—The most remarkable case of lost identity ever brought to the attention of the instructors in psychology at the State college is that of a man about thirty-five years old, intelligent and of studious inclinations, who enrolled in the department of civil engineering at the beginning of the college year. He gives the name of William Sammerville, but the college authorities have no proof that that is his true name. Every recitation of his past life is blotted from his memory with the exception of three items. Sathmerville says that he remembers clearly that his parents were drowned in the Garveston flood. Besides this, he has a faint remembrance of seeing Maude Adams, the actress, and of being a member of a surveying crew in central Washington some months ago. An examination of Sathmerville by the college professors in psychology shows that he has an acuminature of surveying instruments, but that he is deficient in a knowledge of thematics essential to the practical surveyor. He has proved an industrious student and spends much spare time in the college library reading works on history and science. He seems familiar with textbooks on botany and trigonometry. Summerville is tall and well built and speaks with a southern accent. He is paying his expenses at the college by day labor on the new college building. HAM BACK AFTER 54 YEARS Civil War Soldier Repays Man Who Assuaged His Hunger. Rahway, N. J.-Thompson Thorne was surprised to find a bag of potatoes at his back door. In turning the bag over to look for an address he discovered a fifteen pound ham. Under the ham was a note which read: "This is returned to you in honor of the fifty-tenth anniversary since you gave a ham and potatoes to an old hungry soldier at Valley Springs. Vax during the late retention." Mr. Thorne in talking of the act that said he was the commissary sergeant at Valley Springs. He recalls the circumstances, but never knew who received the bag of potatoes and the ham. The potatoes and ham had been purchased at a local grocery by a stranger, who refused to give his name or address to the merchant. NEEDSANTARIUMS American Institutions Compared With These In Germany. NURSES HERE ARE CENTER. In Many Respects This Country Leads. While In Others There Is Room For Great Improvement — Conside Sanitariums Denecial For Bone or Glandular Tuberculosis Patients. Wallingford, Coun. — The state of Connecticut, which has been priding itself on the excellence of its institutions for the fight against tuberculosis, has much to learn from Germany, according to the report of Dr. Stephen J. Maher of New Haven, chairman of the state tuberculosis commission. Dr. Maher went to Berlin to attend the recent conference, and his report to Governor Baldwin shows in what respects Connecticut is resists. First of all he pleads for a seaside sanitarium. Germany, Dr. Mather says, leads the world in the number and variety of its sanitariums. This is largely due to the fact that half or more of the population is enrolled in sickness and disability insurance companies; hence it is advantageous to the organizations to cure their tuberculosis patients as soon as possible. American sanitary equipment compares favorably with that which Dr. Mather saw abroad. The German sanitariums are of brick or stone, while in this state they are entirely of wood. The grounds about German institutions ```markdown ``` are carefully groomed, while here the erection of buildings and system architecture of management have lathered congested attention. German authorities make a feature of N-ray buildings and a tiled douche room, moulder of which Connecticut buildings have. To the douche room patients must go every day for a vigorous base doucheing. Dr. Mather thinks American nurses are better, quicker and more attentive to details. The warrior is in all these worries in Germany. They are of business and tile and have a great interest in architecture with elaborate designs with long latings, compartmentalized with large units is served for the use of specialized industries are especially important from Britain where other industries are growing with the importance of international trade. A patient in the intensive care unit is unable to communicate with the rest of the family and the care team. The patient requires intensive care and the need for a nurse to care for them. If the patient is unable to communicate with the rest of the family and the care team are sent home as incapable of receiving further benefit, the patients then remain in care of friends until the end. If the incurable Press. CONFLIENCE AND UNBRIBED D C E M B E R 20. 1913 has no home the insurance company sends him, as a rule, to the general hospital of the district. Germany, however, is ahead in forest schools and seaside sanitariums for home or glandular tuberculosis patients. DREAM LOCATES WILL. Document Lost For Many Years Found by Dead Man's Sister. Doentur, Ft. - Miss Helen Locklin of Bement, Ft. has finally presented at her lawyer's office here a long lost will, drawn by her late brother, Frank Locklin. She had documented its location and by finding it saved her home and truck garden from sale to satisfy a judgment she had obtained herself. Frank Locklin died in 1919, leaving three sisters. Helen had long helped him make a five and expected that the will would be quashed her the home. No will could be found. A week or two ago a dream gave her a clew which led to her recovery of the document. Student Clrabs High Stack Oberlin, O. The freestman class of Oberlin college boosts of an anonymous stoopjack who at night climbed to the top of a new 175 foot smoke-stack being erected for the college heating system and decorated the stack with the class minerals. Only recently two workmen fell from the smoke-stack and were killed. FARMERS' WINES BLAMED. High Prices of Eggs Laid to Poor Methods of Handling. Atlantic City, N. J.-In discussing at their annual convention here the high prices of eggs members of the American Warehouseen's association placed some of the blame at the door of farmers' wives, who mostly have charge of the poultry. It was declared that many wives of the farmers do not know the proper method of handling eggs and do not realize the necessity of properly gathering and shipping them. According to reports, many representatives of forty five of the largest warehouses in the country, there was a shortage of 240,000,000 eggs on the 1st of December. WATCH MAN'S IN TREE A YEAR Swarer Town Kind is after Many Persons have leased. Georgetown Dee. Loc a year ago, a gold was b owned by Wilfred White, a Georgetown merchant, was found by the owner after it had bung in sight of many persons for a year without being discovered. After White had been gunning last year with a number of friends he found he had lost his watch and fob. He retraced his steps through the whole day's trip, besides advertising, unsuccessfully. Recently White and the same party took a similar trip through the same section. The lost watch was found hunging on a twig. It was in good shape and as soon as it was wound began to keep good time. Cow. In. Woman's Lap. London. C. Sims of Holbeach, Lincolnshire, met with a remarkable accident while motorcycling in South Lincolnshire with Mrs. Sims in his side car. A cow moved across the road in front of the motorcycle and was taken up in the side car, where it reposed on Mrs. Sims lap. The cow gave Mrs. Sims a somewhat violent "kiss" on the chock, which, it is slanted, "left a headache". The extra weight then tipped up the side car, and the cow slipped off its seat. PRINCE TO ENTER ARMY. Charles of Roumania to Complete Military Training In Two Years. Berlin - Prince Charles, eldest son of the crown prince of Roumania, will enter the Gergan army on Jan. 1 as lieutenant in the First Foot guards at Potsdam to complete his military education. The prince, who is twenty years old, is to remain with the regiment two years. King Charles of Roumania, who is a Hohenzollern prince and was born at Sigmaringen, Germany, always has had a high opinion of the German military syster. BY GAIN." VOL. 32 NO. 42 EVERY 51 CENT VALUE COST ST IN NEW YORK Price of Food Duo Largely to Distribution Charge. New York. It costs just 39 cents to distribute a dollar's worth of food in this city. The bureau of food supply of the New York Association For Improving the Condition of the Poor has been conducting a cost of living/inquiry and has made public a report showing that 61 cents represents the cost of food on its arrival at the terminal markets here, while the rest of the consumer's dollar is divided between wholesaler and retailer in the process of getting the food to the consumer's kitchen. "Every consumer." Bailey B. Burett, who directed the inquiry, said, "is amazed at the constantly diminishing quantity of food that his dollar brings to him, and every producer is equally amazed at the small proportion of the consumer's dollar that finds its way into his pockets." The recently, the report asserts, is a reorganization of the food distribution system based on the result of careful experiments with the economic efficiency of various methods of retail distribution. These experiments, it is set forth, should be made by a group of individuals with no thought of profit. POVERTY NEAR GEM MINE. Almshouse Property Adjoins Arkansas Diamond Diggings. Murfreesboro, Ark.—Diamonds and poverty do not go hand in hand in most parts of the world, but here in Pike county, the home of the only diamond mines of any size in the United States, the greatest of chums are the county poor farm and the diamond bearing property. All that separates the county farm from the diamond property is an imaginary line, on one side of which is supposed to be wealth, on the other side poverty. But to Aunt Polly Cox, the only inmate of the county farm, there is no wealth and there is no line. SCOURGE OF LEPROSY IS ON THE INCREASE There Are Now 700 Victims Isolated In Hawaii. New York.—Leprosy is on the increase, according to the statements of various scientists studying the disease in different parts of the world. In Paraguay the number of cases doubled within ten years, says Dr. J. W. Lhud-say, an Englishman. There are 600 lepers at Molokai, in Hawaii, and 100 isolated in Honolulu. The last quoted report of the disease in the United States places the number of leprosy cases at 146. In German East Africa the disease is on the increase. Dr. Albert Serra of the University of Cagliari, Sardinia, says that many more leprosy cases exist in Sardinia than the statistics record. Most of the lepers of Hawaii are isolated on the fertile peninsula of Molokal after they have been subjected to six months of observation at the Honolulu hospital. Much freedom is allowed them in Molokal. They are allowed to marry and to live with their wives in separate cottages. Children are not allowed to remain with an infected person, however. This question whether leprosy may be inflicted is not an open one. Dr. Marcus Raimowitch of the Karkoff hospital, who has conducted researches through several years with the blood of leprosy is authority for the statement that there exists in the blood of all persons he has examined a distinctive burdens. He says he had found it in the heart of an unborn child whose mother had died of the disease.

Our Daily World of late bea teemed with epicy and breezy editoriale— similer to those of the old Martine- burg Herald. For a time credit was given to our old friend Mr. A. B. Smith. But that ejeculatory edito- tial over the Republican party’s die- carding Negro voters puts us astrad dle the fence, for it could not ema- nate from Bro.

The Courier either does not know the situation ag it existed in Charles Town, after the commission of the alleged crime, or is trying to cover the angered will of the decent people of Charles Town.

When the war of the rehellion cameon, and the men left their bomes to fight for secession—advo- cacy of slavery-—those white men, brutally as they bad treated them, put their women and childran in their care and keeping, Did they keep and care for them?

Not only did they care for and provide for them, bot hid their stock, their money and val. vables,and when the war ended, gave back vot only their hidings of value but their women and children, without» single charge of rape, Many slaves who knew how to work, and whose masters were killed,stayed on the plantations, lived and died there supporting the women and cbildren for whom they bad loved and cared. ExSenator B. K.

The present-day rural school is striving to fit itself into the needs of the community where it is found. The school of the open country which fails to root itself to the soil is no longer worth while. The school must be a leader in every day agricultural life or it will be stamped a failure. One of the many schools which is doing a real work for country uplift is found in western Charles Mix County, South Dakota. The school is twenty miles from the nearest railroad station, and has been doing a remarkable work for the community for more than twenty years. It was established as a post office which took its name "Academy" from the school itself. The school is organized on the academy or high school plan and is strong enough to give the people of the western section of the new State all the education they really need for successful farm life. The founder of the school, Rev. L. E. Camfield, has been ever enough to understand that the country district sought to have schools so complete in themselves that farm children should not be obliged to go to town to complete their education, since the generally means a weaning away from the farm. The time when the school was established was a period of panic, of low prices, and mortgaged farms and chattels. Still out of their poverty and need, the settlers gave everyone a little for the school. The local church helped to furnish teachers—the pastor and the pastor's wife who had been college teachers taking part in the work from the first. The pastor from a neighboring parish also devoted a part of his time to teaching. The school received assistance from the church, and its turn lent aid to the church. In a short while, an smaller district schools were established, these came to be feeders for the Academy, which insisted on teaching the universal subjects in a very thoroughgoing manner. From the school went out in a short time teachers for the entire country community and practical men of affairs in other lines. A school farm was added at a very early date. Here regular lessons in farm building construction, repairing, the use of machinery, tools, etc., were given. Indeed, general farming was coordinated with classroom practice in relating the education of the school to the life of the community. The work of the school was practical from the first, doing its utmost to answer the needs of the community. Its enrollment grew from a few students to I45 in a few years. As old buildings were outgrown, the students took an active part in building the new. A school home life was developed and the teachers have done a great work as companions and leaders of the students by giving them individual help and encouragement. To this may be traced some to the really remarkable men who have gone out from this community. All the household care and duties of the school are organized under the department of household economics so that the care of kitchen dining room, laundry, and the living rooms is left largely to the women students under the direction of a competent matron. One of the things of special appeal is this: The pastor who came to the community in the early days has remained throughout the years, preaching and teaching, building and farming. The Christian spirit of respect and reverence for work for knowledge, and for duty is strong in the school and equally strong in the community. Here can be seen, then, a typical rural community - satisfied country houses, and a country school and a country church, each doing its share in helping the people to love the soil and make the most of themselves. Inspired young men and women who have the real vision of country life needs may find opportunities in every part of our country to do the work that these pioneers have done so successfully in a poor western pioneer district. NEGRO WINS HIGH HONOR. For the second time in the history of Harvard University the honor of class orator has fallen to a Negro He is A L Jackson, of Englewood, N J and besides his reputation for eloquence he figures prominently in athletics, being a crack member of the track team. Eleven years ago Roecee Conkling Bruce of Mississippi, another Negro, got the appointment at the class election. Jackson was not the choice of the nominating committee, but his friends put him forward at the last moment and he d feated five other candidates.

Their writings show the same freshness, simplicity and charm. Darwin was struck by the patience and ingenuity exhibited by M. Fabre in penetrating the secrets of insects, and in the "Origin of Species" he refers to him as an inimitable observer. An English translation of M. Fabre's book "The Life of a Spider" has lately been published. He was born in the south of France, was the son of poor parents, and his whole life has been one of uninterrupted labor. As a lad he taught himself to read at night by the light of a blazing pine knot. In school he paid his tuition fees by serving as a choir boy. He won a scholarship at the normal school at Avignon and became a teacher, finally rising to the grade of professor. It was while he was attached to the lycee at Avignon that he came across the entomological works of four, and thereafter the life was changed. He complete was the state of entomology, and opened to him a magazine study. Thereafter able he gave up teaching self to the study of biology dured many miseries for science. He went to live in a cottage with rose tinted walls and green blinds at the little village of Serignan, on the road from Orange to Valreas. For years the neighboring peasants knew little of him. Then one day they learned that a neat scholar was dwelling among them, and now he is the glory of the village. He has used incredible patience and ingenuity, guided by sympathy, ig studying insects. Observation and study in the laboratory did not tell him what he wanted to know. It was necessary for him to watch the free insects in their natural environment. What he saw he described sympathetically, poetically, vividly. His writings interest the general reader as much as the entomologist. He described with equal care the industry of the bee and the wickedness of the preying mantis, that fierce insect which devours its wives and charms its victims with what the entomologists call its spectral pose. Maeterlinck wrote of him: "He devoted to the task of surprising their little secrets which are the counter part of the greatest mysteries, fifty years of an existence solitary, understood: poor, often want, but illuminated joy which is brought is the human joy able to the truths." are offere spider or little truths which the seems be whether it star or the supreme M. Figre have come to him. His fame is widespread. He is no longer able to pursue his studies. He sits day after day smoking his pipe in the dining room of his cottage. .
