golden age of Spain was in the 18TH
century, and that since then Spain has
been an example of a decadent civiliz-
alton. He described the effects of the
establishment of the inquisitiOn in
1881, the expulsion of the Jews in 1892,
and the expulsion of the MOOrs in
1870 and 1909. showing that while ev-
cry other country was advancing,
Spain receded. Spain was dominated
by religious fanatics. and its progress
has been blocked by this. Then, too.
the ignorance and the indifference of
the people have prevented the advance
in civilization that other countries
made. Astonishing as it is. seven
tenths of the Spanish people are un-
able to read or write. Quoting Guyot
DR. Raymond showed that "To think
for ones self, to reason out ones ideas
to form judgment for ones self, to
make decision-these are the things
almost insupportable to the mind of
the Spaniard." The lecturer spoke OF
their consequent cruelty and unscrupu
lousness, their superstition. fatalism
and pride, their blind worship of the
past, and their poverty, as hindrances
to progress. OF their worship OF the
past, he said, again quoting Guyot, In
stead Of looking toward the future
they have chung desperately TO an
ideal of a miserable and odious past.
In spite OF Spaniards.
