The agricultural laborers OF today

better educated, and are rapidly be-
coming better housed than their fore
fathers a century ago. And If these
are the main constituents Of happiness
then they are happier On the other
hand. their grandfathers and great
grndfathers were much more gay and
lighthearted than the modern. they
enjoyed their lives much more than
their descendants do; they had incom-
parably more laughter. more amuse-
ment, more real delight in the labor OF
their hands there was more love
among them and less hate. The agri-
cultural laborer had a bad drunken

that Peru cannot recover it under the

The present uncertain situation can
not be much longer prolonged. For
the Chilean government each year of
