Publisher Description: Not more than one seventh of the 850,000 people in Puerto Rico can read or write. Only one child in twelve, between the ages of six and sixteen, attends school. In 1897, of 125,000 children of school age, only about 28,000 attended school--about 19,000 boys and 9,000 girls. |
