983 ee CUBAN TEACHERS AT CAMBRIDGE. Hiarvard Plans to Have More Than a Thousand of Them. {Harvard Crimson.] Mr. A. E. Frye, LL.B., ’90, Superin- tendent of Schools in Cuba, has just returned to Boston from Havana to complete the arrangements for the Sum- mer School for Cuban teachers to be conducted by Harvard this year. Mr. Frye went to Cuba five months ago, having volunteered to serve the fovernment there gratuitously for five years. Since his arrival his experiences with the Cubans have been most inter- esting. From threats of lynching and attempts at blackmail, the Cuban news- papers have turned to hearty apprecia- tion of his efforts. From being re- garded as a spy and a robber of Cuban nationality, he has come to be looked upon as the virtual founder of educa- tion in the island. When he arrived in Cuba there were some four thousand children attending school, and_ the teachers had to depend upon the sub- scriptions of the wealthier parents for their pay. There are now one hundred and twenty thousand children in school and the teachers are paid regular salaries of a very high average. In short, order has been substituted for chaos, and the educational system of Cuba is well on the road toward efficiency. The plan for the Summer School, as worked out by President Eliot and Mr. Frye, provides for transporting at least one thousand, and possibly two thou- sand teachers to this country, receiving and caring for them while here and giy- ing them three months instruction. The sovernment has consented to bring the teachers from Cuba, and four steamers will be used for the purpose. Upon their arrival in Cambridge, the women will be placed in homes near the Col- lege, and the men in the. dormitories. Memorial Hall, and, if necessary, Ran- dall Hall, will be kept open all Summer for their exclusive use, and Phillips Brook House will be at the disposal of the women teachers as a place for social sathering. The President has already planned the course of study to be pursued. The principal courses will be English. Geog- raphy, Nature Studies, School Organi- zation and Management, Cuban History, American MHistory—particularly that which bears upon the problems now ly- ing before Cuba—and a great many lec- tures of general culture. In addition to this regular work there will be historical and literary excursions to Plymouth, Bunker Hill, Lexington, Concord, the homes of Lowell and Whittier, and other places of instructive value. To defray the expenses of this journey a plan for raising $50,000 is now being formed. tl, die _ Dh ae Seymour Cup Contests. The final contests in wrestling and fencing for the Seymour prizes, were held in the Gymnasium, Wednesday afternoon, April 4.° In the lightweight and middleweight matches the first two bouts were draws, but in the finals of the lightweight match the prize was awarded to Bluford Wilson, 1901, who — threw J. B. Hart, I902, after forty minutes. The middleweight prize went to E. H. Benner, 1900 S., who threw W. W. Taylor, 1900 S., in 20 minutes. A. L. Gile, 1900, won the heavyweight by default from W. J. McConnell, 1900 L.S. In the fencing bouts, H. W. King, 1901, defeated S. W. Arnold, 1909; *-H D.
