The little island" of Cuba as 1t is
frequently retired to, is larger and
more populous than lots Of people
realize. It's area is larger than that OF
Maine and New Hampshire combined
and its population is twice that of
Maine. This population is mostly
rural as it has only two cities of more
than 10000 people. It's greatest handi-
cap lies in the fact that so per cent OF
its population is entirely iliteratc. Its
highest mountain is 2000 feet lofticr
than Mt. Washington.
