The Government OF the Canal Zone. the
DOCTOR said, was a constant object lesson
10 inc people OF ranama In the art OF demo-
cIatc RUE mere was no friction between
the ponce OF Panama and the authorities
OF the Canal Zone, and because OF the
ment thsre was no prooaolhty OF any diner
ences, me ransnsns were doing more
Tor the education OF It's people, especially
the San Bias Indians, than any other Cen
trai American or south American republic.
They were doing Just as some of the Amer
lGan cities were juvenile education,
although the truancy officers are a little
more vigorous. The San Bias Indians
OF the conservative school did not want
their children educated. The Government
oren wouId nave TO go 70 school and II even
went to the length OF k~idna pping Indian
boys whose parents objected. This was
done in the interests OF progress, or. as DIR.
Amador said, TO promote the general well
fare:
After n while the Indians decided that in
was a good thing. that is most OF them
did. There are still some who hold that
education is the curse Of South American
republics. The boys who had been seized
and educated were sent back to the San
Bias coast and helped to convince their
parents and the conservative heads Of tribes
hat knowledge is power. as the Panama
.copybooks teach. Father Gasso, a Jesuit
priest, is helping along the cause and
President Amador thinks it will not be long
