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.

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

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.

default from W. J. McConnell, 1900 L.S.
