PERUVIAN SCHOOLS,
The Main Branches Taught in the Nations
Schools Of Peru.

The Main Branches Taught in the National
Schools Of Peru.
While passing school building, one
of my first days in Peru. my attention
was attracted by the busy hum Of
voices, and, upon inquiry. Iascertained
that this was school for boys, and
that this busy hum arose from their
style of studying, which is invariably
out loud. We raped at the open door.
and Immediately the whole school arose
and the director cordially received us
and showed us through the building.
There was little to be seen as compared
with your buildings. The only appar-
atus was few maps, a very small
blackboard. a teachers desk, long
writing-desk and several benches with
out backs. There were three depart
ments. or. more properly, grades. The
primary department was in a room by
itself, but the other two grades were in
the same room, one occupying each
end.
We ascertained from the director
that he received Il salary of fifty silver
solcr per month, and his co-laborers
.orty silver solcr each (about thirty
iollars.)
As the whole attention of the school
was fixed upon us, and all work inn
peded, We did not desire to keep them
from their studies, or standing longer,
so we babe adieu to our Spanish friends.
and visited the school for girls, which
was in II adjoining building. The
sexes are kept strictly apart in all the
schools of Peru. We were kindly re-
ceived by the matron, who furnished
us all the information we desired. This
school was in the midst Of recitations,
and paid little attention to our entrance,
much to our pleasure. She had two
co-laborers. who were seated between
the several groups of students, appar-
emily doing nothing, but probably, at
least we were so informed. were over
seeing their respective divisions, while
the older students were hearing the
classes recite. This is common rule
here i'm the national schools; and they
not only hear the younger students re-
cite, but are also allowed to punish them
rs they see fit. The common modes
of punishment are kneeling in the
midst of the group for long time,
to be shut up in a dark room, or be
severely whipped. The teachers are
only hired to oversee the work and
attend to one or two of the higher
classes.
The main school books used are
upon the subject of the Catholic religion.
arithmetic. reading. Peruvian history
and geography. There is no competi-
ton in school books, as every book
used in these schools throughout Peru
must be approved by the National
Educational Board, and they adopt
only school books written by their
countrymen, which are not very numer
Gus.
Their public school buildings are
plain, one-story adobes, with a very
small playground at the back of them.
The English have four schools in
Peru for all classes of people. two in
Callao and two in Lima. They have
one college. the only one ever founded
in Peru. under the Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions. This college has
several courses, and is in a fine pros
pcring condition.-E. c. White, in Chi
