PORTO, RICA. SHOOLS
Mr. E. A. Mercado, professor in the
Spanish department of the university
gave a lecture in Spanish yesterday
on "Les Escuelas de Puerto Rico" in
which he compared the schools in
1898, when the island came under the
.United States control, and the schools
as they are today.
He was able to give many interest-
ing statistics which depicted that
there .was a remarkable improvement
in the system of running the schools
and the teaching since 1898. At that
time there was no school buildings
owned by the government and the at-
tendance was only 22,000 students.
Today there are 300,000 children in
the elementary and high schools,
which means that eighty-five percent
of those who are of school age are tak-
ing advantage of this opportunity.
Twenty-six years ago there was,
very little money spent on education
and today the government is expend-
ing five million dollars for this very
purpose.
'Itis"of interest to note that thirty-
seven percent of the government ex-
penditures are for the schools, which
means that two dollars and forty-two
cents per capita is spent on the edu-
cation of the. Porto Ricans.
Besides the public schools there are
forty-six private ones which employ
about two hundred teachers; this is
approximately one-twentieth of the
number of public school teachers.
The college on the island is a fine
one, its chemistry department being
exceptionally good. The medical de-
partment cooperates with that same
department at Columbia University,
thereby giving the students at the lat-
ter school the opportunity to study the
tropical diseases in their native en-
vironment.
In 1922 the first native commission-
er of education Juan B. Huyke was
app(lnted. He'discovered that the
rural school was the weakest point
in the education structure; and in the
last two years the rural schools have
almost doubled, which goes to show
how much more a' native can accomp-
lish in this capacity.

'1OF BOOK ON FOOTBAL
Fundamentals of football, field
generalship, and the various problems
that confront the football coach are
subjects treated in "Football Notes",
by Elton E. Wieman of Michigan's
coaching staff, which has been pub-
lished by O. D. Morrill. The book,,
which is in mimeographed form, con-
tains notes in outline form covering
the material given in fifteen lectures
by Coaches Yost, Little, and Wieman
in the summer session.
The volume is illustrated with
charts and many diagrams explain-
ing the various plays discussed. The
material is presented from the view
point of the coach, and aims at the
development of football teams. Its
outline form makes it convenient for
ready reference.
Talking at manual work has been
found by official investigation to cause
considerable loss of time, except
when the work is entirely automatic.
