rines and bluejackets marched through
their streets. Some think, of course,
that the Mexican peon is not of such
stern stuff as is his cousin from the
rising sun. Time alone, however, can
prove or disprove this.
But there is an awakening among
the MeXicans, growing appreciation
of their fortunate situation. They are
beginning to recognize that they are
possessed of one of the most desirable
and potentially rich countries of the
world They have seen the wealth of
their country unlocked and converted
into comfort, WELL being and education
and other desirable things by the
stranger that is within their gates. and
they would follow his example. They
recognize that their greatest need is
education, and when DR.. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez, the first of the revo-
lutiCnary leaders to return to the CAPT
tai, told the hundred thousand peo-
pie who waited his coming for many
hours, though half clad and in a chill
ling rain, we will build schools. and
we will build roads. Every road will
lead to a school. and out of every school
road will lead to higher things We
have nothing to fear in Mexico but
ignorance, and that, if we work to-
gether. we will annihilate" The peo-
pie cheered and cried, cried and cheer

large and varied business affairs in the
republic. who in war and peace could
always keep his people at work. scat
tered as they were throughout the
country, and without close supervision,
how he did it, he answered: This is
all my secret. Whenever man is the
least bit promising I put his children

children. arrange the dreadful formali-
ties 1t only costs a little money and
little time, but it is wonderful in

fishing out her befuddled husband and
lord from a stupid herd outside a pull

unless controlled, or. better STILL eradi-
Gated, will blight the fair promise of
the land. and while picking out her
particular unfortunate, heard her say:
"Dionysio. how can you do this thing,
you who are the father of children who
ARE learning to read" And Dionysio,
though befuddled. seemed ashamed
and made visible efforts to pull him e
self together. Today in Mexico, if only
the great majority would ever bear in
mind that they are the fathers of chill
dren who under favorable auspices
may learn To read and run the race OF
life along a higher course. all the han
dicaps Of heredity and of environment
Will weigh as nothing. Mexico Will

Yet haply they sought but a wider

Some loftier mountain slope.
And little rocked Of the country

Beyond the gates Of hope.
And haply a bell with a Turing call
Summoned their feet to tread
Midst the cruel rocks, where the

And the lurking snare are spread.
Maybe. in spite of their tameless
days
OF outcast liberty.
They're sick at heart for the homely
ways
Where their gathered brothers be.
And oft at night when the plains fall
dark
And the hills loom large and dim.
For the shepherds voice they mutely

And their souls go out to him.

EDUCATION IN MEXICO.

Another and even more hopeful sign
is the whole souled love and appre-
citation of education which is the char
acteristic o. all Mexicans. and is par
ucularly strong n the lower or less
fortunate classes. This thirst for
knowledge is quite as strong in Mexico
today as it was in the Japan of a gen
Grafton ago. While the Mexican may
not have the rare persistence of the
japanese peasant who is ever willing
to starve his body to feed his mind, the
peOn has certainly a quicker intelli-
gence and greater aptitudes. The Mex

AMERICAN ARENAS.

American county and state fairs are
rapidly becoming the arenas for ex-
hibitions which differ very little from
the gladiatoriaI bUtcheries which
made a Roman holiday in the olden
time. Again has an aviator been
killed because the selfish crowd
"jeered" when he hesitated to ascend

safely The young mamie was only
23-could not stand the taunt of cow
ardice and in defiance not only of his
own Judgment but Of the commonest
dictates of prudence he made the as
cent near Dayton, O.. only to meet a
horrible death when his machine
caught fire.
/ 1t is impossible to condemn the
course OF the spectators of this trag-
/ edy too severely. The same kind of
/ spectacle was witnessed recently out
| in Kansas. where another aviator was
nagged into making Il flight when he
knew he was taking his life in his
hands. simply to crafty the lust Of
peril on the part Of the spectators
not one of whom, it may be safely
ventured, would have taken risks
equal to those which they clamOred
for the reluctant aviator to take. But
the aviators and the motor racers,
who together furnish most of the
death thrills at this time. have the
matter wholly within their own con-
troll
People who call a sportsman a
coward because he does not flirt
with death in a foolhardy attempt
to Guido somebody else, or because
he does not risk his life with de-
fective machine. are not persons
whose opinion has any just weight
and all sensible people will eXonerate
real sportsmen from the charge of
cowardice under such circumstances
If these men, brave even unto death,
as a class. will refuse utterly To take
any greater risks than are unavcid-
ably involved in these sports. suffi-
GENTLY dangerous at the best, the ap-
palling sacrifices of life viii be ma
terially reduced.
There has been a deplorable per
version of the purposes of agricultur-
al fairs all over the country Instead
of being devoted To displays OF dbil-
cultural and live stock, resources they
are degenerating into mere sporting
carnivals. with the further result of
being too often shambles in which hu-
man life is held fearfully cheap. Such
a spectacle as that which occurred re-
Gently at Syracuse, where motor car
race in which ten or more people were
killed was not even called off, IS
disgrace to the name of civilization.
COMPARED with it a bull fight is
mere diversion. But what shall be
said Of a crowd that hounds man
through "A false sense of courage to
run the almost certain risk of death?
The sight of an aviator burning to
death in the air under such circum-
stances is the very climax of barbar-
ism that cannot be censured too
strongly and that must lead to preVen-
tatives legislation to curb the blood
thirsty instincts of those who seem to
care little whether or not people are
slaughtered to give them an extra
thrill.
