LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES
DR.. Clayton Urges Special Study OF
Chem in U. s. Schools

Washington, d. c., Oct. Special
study of the countries of Latin America
in schools in the United States is urged
by Or. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of
Education, in letter to high school
principals. DR.. Claxton Declares
= We should teach in our schools and
colleges more of the geography, history,
literature, and life of the Latin -Ameri.
can countries, and we should offer in.
struction in the Spanish and Portuguese
languages to much larger extent than
is now done.
" All our relations with the repub-
lies to the south of us are bound to
become much more intimate than they
have been in the past. The completion
of the Panama Canal, the changes in
commercial relations brought about by
the war in Europe, as well as other re-
cent events, have served to call the at
tention of the people of the United
States to the recent rapid growth and
development Of the Latin American re-
publics.
These countries comprise an area
three times as great as the United
States. They are rich in minerals, for
ests, water power, and a wide range of
agricultural products. They have 7O,-

tants. Three others have Approximate

each 100000 or more. Some of these
cities rank among the most beautiful
and attractive in the world.
These countries are making rapid
progress in elementary and secondary
education and in industrial education
Several of their universities enroll from
one to 1000 students each. The his
tory of their countries is interesting,

that it IS the language of one-tenth of

The Immoral Mixing Of The Races.

The white people Of the South in
tend to leave plenty Of communities
in which the negro can buy land,
nor do they intend to interfere with
the rights of negroes who have al
ready bought in white communities.
But where the white people desire
it for the protection Of their social
life, their homes, their institutions
and their women, they may be psfd-
oned il they resent being denounced
as criminals if they simply propose
to set apart certain communities in
which the land now held by whites
shall remain in white hands.
Certainly the progress of the idea
will not be hindered by such men as
the Rev. |. N. Ross, the Washing
ton City negro preacher who was
cheered by his negro hearers as he
told them to quit buying pianos and
go to buying guns, and to quit going
to dancing schools and begin going
to military schools. Only two days
later LaFollette's Magazine printed a
