son to resume his university duties
Upon him was conferred the appoint
nent as United States delegate to the
Pan-American conference at Rio de

rip abroad. when we arrived at Rio"
said DIR. Reinsch, 'we found that while
he business was to be conducted there,
our temporary home would be at Pc
ropolls, mountain town some thirty
niles away, very healthful as to climate.
The unhealthy conditions in Rio de ia
leiro necessitated this arrangement SO
hat we were obliged to travel the thirty
niles nearly every day.
Ihe Brazilian looks up to the Ameri-
ian IN manner most hattering The
attentions we received wherever we
went We're almost embarrassing. When
l rich Brazilian desires to give his son
lie greatest advantage in his power he
sends him to an American university
10th coming and going we met students
oound Tor America to seek an educa ton,
Jut not once did we meet one going to
Europe for a like purpose"
Entertained Most Lavishly.
To the ladies of the conference the
social festivities were most diyerting.
The entertainment accorded them was
u the most lavish nature. The health
GIVING climate and the pleasant routine
II the day, varied by social functions
ana by delightful excursions to coffee
plantations and the places of interest in
/ south American country, made the
weeks in Brazil both a benefit and n
pleasure. The big conference which
vas attended by forty-fve delegates. all
ne American nations being represented,
Nltn me exception OF Venezuela, was in
session five weeks. During this period
here were sixteen sessions. three of
Nhlch were formal, the opening and the
closing, and the solemn session on the oc-
:aslon of Mr.. Roots visit which the
6azlllans looked upon as one of the
greatest events in their history.
The work of the conferences" ex
planned Dr. Reinsch, was almost entire
y conducted i'll committees, where all
discussion took place. The committees.
without exception, reported unanimous
y and their resolutions were then
adopted by the conference. There were
40 controversies therefore. Although
here We're important conflicts of inter-
EST. every question was finally settled in
satisfactory manner.
There was a good deal of jealousy
among, the South American states, par
ticularly among Argentine, Chilli. Brazil
and Peru There was also keen comue-
Htlon among the states to secure the
next place of meeting, which question
was however. not determined.
The conference was the occasion for
the assembling together of a great many
distinguished people, with whom we had
the pleasure of becoming we'll ac-
quainted.'
On the 3Oth of August DR.. and Mrs
Reinsch left Rio de Janeiro sailing on
board the British steamer, Ara con, max

In Europe we visited Lisbon, Madrid
and Paris, and then sailed on board the
Deutschland, of the Hamburg American
line, turning our faces toward America
and home" said Mr.. Reinsch.

and able men who are competent to!
handle it should leave under indiscrim-i
