WITH an area of i97 $40 square
miles (about two-thirds as large as
the state of Texas) and population
of 1859, 23i, Spain has only 10000
schools, mostly of very low quality.
The salaries of elementary school
teachers ranges from $50 to 500 per
year. A compulsory education law
was enacted in 1857 but has never
been enforced. These facts go far
toward explaining Spain's decline.
