History
The United States took control of Puerto Rico from Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898. In 1899, the United States conducted its first census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of Frailes barrio was 919.[6]
gollark: Oh, uniforms are bad, why even *have* those (except to produce conformity, which is an unstated goal of lots of schooling I think)?
gollark: But it forces you to do lots of things even when you don't particularly like them and are uninterested in continuing them.
gollark: One example *is* excellent evidence of general trends, yes.
gollark: My school was mostly okay, but I think it's a suboptimal system for anything but somewhat bad subsidized childcare.
gollark: If you keep lying to people, they will probably stop believing you at some point.
