Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 67, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 May 1901 — The People of Porto Rico. [ARTICLE]

The People of Porto Rico.

Porto Rico is only a thirteenth of the size of Cuba in area, but it has more than half as many inhabitants. It is the most densely populated of all the West India islands, and a larger proportion of this population is white than is found in any of the other islands in its part of the world. There is a higher grade of intelligence among the Porto Ricans than among the Cubans.
