The savannah or prairie land must be plowed, which is hard work and expensive.—Mrs. Blosser in the Her- ald and Presbyter, Cincinnati, Ohio. For a High School in La Gloria. La Gloria is petitioning the Depart- ment of Public Instruction to allow for the salary of an additional teacher for the higher grades. There are over forty American children in the school at La Gloria. The school building is a large, model one, built by the colony itself, and attended by both Cuban and American children. The department provides two teachers, one American and one Cuban. The appropriation for a teacher will give advanced scholars something of a high school course. The colony also asks for the extension of the new road, recently completed from Viaro to La Gloria, on to Camaguey. "Ten Days in ; Mr. Duncan O. Bull, the general man- ager of the Cuban Realty Company, Lim- ited, is preparing for a vigorous cam- paign for the Bartle colonists this win- ter. He further advertises to send free of charge to any address a copy of a new book published by Hon. Nicholas J. Whalen, Speaker of the Michigan Leg- islature, which gives an interesting ac- count of his ten-days' trip which Mr. Whalen made to Cuba, in company with Senator Snell, W. B. Wood of Detroit, and others. After returning from Cuba Mr. Whalen published a series of articles in his newspaper descriptive of his trip. He is a fluent and pleasing writer and describes the various colonies and points of interest which he visited, with an ac- curacy and detail that is at once instruc- tive and entertaining.
