American Books in Mexico,

Mexico buys more American books
than does France, and nearly as many
as Germany. Much Of this trade is
due to the large resident American
population to be found in Mexican
cities and to the demand from mining
camps where Americans are living,
and not a little is due to the growing
spread of English among the Mexican
people. There @ strong tendency
here in favor of popularizing the
English language, and the learners Of
that tongue comprise professional men
IN middle age as we'll as thousands Of
youth. Some large institutions Of
earning have put English ahead Of
French.
