. The Cuba review. THE CUBA REV IE W. View of Library, University of Havana or scientific course were eligible to certificates of surveyors or mechanical or chemical experts, according to their proficiency in the special studies provided. Following the institutes came the University of Havana with law, medicine and pharmacy, philosophy and belles lettres and the exact sciences, though no provision was made for the higher education of engineers in the industrial arts, belles lettres and diplomacy, for which the official schools of Spain were supposed to provide. The law also provided for a school of sculpture, painting and engraving in Havana, one for the education of notaries, for an industrial college, a veterinary school, a commercial college and a nautical school, and one for master workmen, overseers and surveyors. Of these, however, only the art school, the professional school, the normal school and the school of arts and trades were carried on. The law authorized all Spaniards to establish private schools, the privilege of inspection, however, being reserved by the Government. As a result of this, many private preliminary elementary schools and a number of colleges had been established, the latter being incorporated with the institutes for which they prepared their pupils. In others of still higher grade, the students could qualify for the university. Among such institutions were the Jesuit College of Belen in Havana, the Colegio de Escuelas Pias in Guanabacoa and Camagiiey, and the Catholic Institute of Santiago, Santiago de Cuba, while a large number of others situated in Havana, Cienfuegos, Sagua and Matanzas prepared pupils solely for the Institutes of Secondary Instruction. That the laws providing for and calculating instruction in Cuba were well intended there is no doubt, but the investigations carried on by the United States Government at the beginning of the period of the intervention in Cuba showed only too plainly that the laws had not been carried
