Adapt Themselves Readily

Adapt themselves hedolit
Women OF Mexico seem to gather more
quickly and accurately the points that
distinguish them from American women
than do the men in the case, and they
are ready to adapt themselves to the
manner of their cousin on this side of the
river far more quickly.
One thing is certain and encouraging
about the Mexican men and women who
live for a time on this side. They get the
American idea of freedom. They learn
the definition of independence and begin
to be able to look anorher in the eye
without bowling to better clothes. They
learn to demand a fair wage for their
Wcrk and to limit their hours to a reason
able-usually an unreasonably brief-day.
They never afterward become fully recon-
ciled to the Mexican way, and they be-
come mighty good revolutionists when the
issue is drawn between classes in their
country. 1t is noteworthy that most of
the Mexican families VINO are living in
American towns while the revolution is
on as a result of the revolution, are sym
rathjzers with the revoutionists, and
many of their men are in the constitu-
tional army.
Maybe this constant coming of MeXi-
cans to live among the people of America
will, ultimately tend to solve the grave
problems, economic and administrative, of
Mexico If they are to be solved only by
this absorption of knowledge from Amer
leans in America, however, the solution
would doubtless come earlier and more
cheaply for them If their children could
be in some way led to attend the schools
that are here available for them.

OF nonattendanee of children of school
age IN FL Paso public schools is very
nigh Yet a careful canvass of that city
always shows that most of the American
children are attending school. This is
IN the same degree true of the other bor-
der towns.
IL Is the children of Mexican families
tEat increase the ratio of delinquency
Neither Mexican children nor their pa
rents take interest in their opportunity
TO get an education. The truancy officer
mas difficulty in reaching these delin-
ouents, and he meets insuperable OBJ
staeles in his attempts to enforce at
tendance. To be sure there are many
Mexican children attending the public
schools of these border towns When
they get into the habit OF going to school
l. IS said by their teachers that they be-
come good pupils and their interest in the
wcrk grows rapidly. The IDEAS of educa-
tion in the average Mexican mind are so
vague and uncertain that it has become
task to get them to consider it at all
But while the schools ore doing their
part on the American side of the river
there are places on the Mexican side
where children are taught to steal and
beg and otherwise gain money and val
uables without working for them.

Poor Sanitary Conditions

of the Mexican inhabitants of the border

are thus inadequate. In eech border town
| there is a Mexican quarter that is d
dense population of squalid persons whose
! health is not robust and which would be
worse but for the fact that the kindly
climate makes it possible for them to
live much of the time out Of doors.
In El Paso there is Il settlement of
MeXicans just between the big smelter
that gives employment to hundreds of
men and the Rio Grande that covers an
area of about 10 acres, which is said to
be the heaviest revenue producing prop
crty in that city in proportion to its
value. This plot is covered by adobe or
tin can houses of one low story, arranged
without regard to passa geways, there be-
ing no streets or alleys in the tract.
These houses are generally surrounded
by closely woven fences of sticks that
are proof against dogs and pigs, which
Enclosures restrain the children, porkers
and fighting chickens Of the family
And there is no Mexican family with
towns that has no fighting chickens The
houses are small and the families are
large. Besides they are sometimes made
to accommodate more then one family.
Tie total investment in Improvement on
this whole tract woull probably not
amount to enough to pay for building one
good house. These settlements have very
few epidemics, however, despite the lack
of sanitation and overerewding. because
the climate is mild and the people live
olt of doors a good deal of the time.
Many of the families in these Mexican
quarters of American towns have no men
folks with them. The men are in the
amy of Villa or Orozeo or some other
con .mander of the southern republic.
Women are the breadwinners in these
families, and they manage somehow to
make something of a success of their ef-
forts. They are to be seen throughout
the American residence sections of the
towns each Monday mornins seeking en-
ployment as "lavenderas." They are

the Mexican quarter the Gay that custom
has set aside for washdaY. In this throng
of seekers after employment are old,
mRldle-aged ana young women. Most of
them wear calico dresses-generally
black, for few Mexican women ever get
entirely away from the necessity OF
wearing mourning, the custom to assume
the outward signs and symbols of sorrow
for almost all relatives who die, and TO
keep it up for a long time. Most of these
women wear mantilla s-the black scarf
that lends grace to the movements and
ccoUetry to the glance, according to artis-
tc descriptions of tourists, but which is
generally neither artistic nor sanitary,
Some of these women, however, are
dressed much as American women in like
circumstances are atti1cd. The colors
and cut of their dresses indicate in such
cases that they are undergoing that evolu-
ton of ideas that comes some time to
the Americanized Mexican women. And
the children of these women who are
wearing their dresses as the American
women do are generally found for part
of the year at least in attendance upon
the public schools. About tire last thing
that is observed in the Americanization
CT these Mexican women is their adoption
OF the American language. They may
lool. and act much like the women of this
country, but their positive refusal to at
tempt to speak English continues long
after they have acquired working
knowledge of the language. There are
more Mexican women who know what
Americans are saying in their presence
tran there are Americans who can guess
at the drift of conversations in the MeXl-
can language.
