Rev. William Taylor opened a chain of
schools all along the west coast, from
Guayaquil, in Ecuador, to Conception, in
Chile. At one time we had 10 schools and
all Of these were supported by the buttons

been more interested in education and the
schools have been cut down to ten.

asked Bishop Stuntz about the mission
work in Peru He replied:
"The outlook is encouraging. The Pc
ruvian congress has just passed law by a
vote of 90 to 4 granting liberty of worship
throughout the republic. This the people
have not had until now although missions
have been established in certain localities
Nov the missionaries can go wherever
they please, and there will be plenty of OPP
portunity to do work among the Indians, as
we'll as among the other classes of the peo-
pie. This is regarded as a great step to-
ward freedom of worship. Ecuador secured
religious liberty six years ago. The Argen-
tine Republic granted it nearly 80 years
ago, and Uruguay still earlier. Brazil has
not only granted religious liberty, but it has
no established union of church and state"
But has all this been the work of the
missionaries?
Eyes, to large extent Dr. Thomas B.
Wood seconded by Dr. Trumbull of Val
paraiso, has worked fot the liberalizing
movement in all of the countries and it is
largely due to his efforts that religious lib
erty has been secured 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that many of the South
American men do not believe in any reli-
gion. They put themselves down in the
census as atheists or aguosties. Indeed, it
is safe to say that there are at least l5,000.-
600 of the South American people who are

STI-oallSo@Ss$3 EFORE leaving Washing
N%S IT, ton, had a talk with Senior
M i'd M Don Ignacio Calderon, the
vel n Ism minister from Bolivia to the
IMSoo9 ~ United States, with regard
EG&9SgSz to my trip to his country.
Among the other things he
asked me to investigate and report upon to
the American people were the efforts that
are now being made to start an industrial
mission among the Aymara Indians about
Lake Titicaca. l have been making inqui-
ries as to this in my travels about the lake
and La Paz, and have found the beginning
of a work that may form the opening wedge
for the civilization of millions.
You have all heard of the semi-civilized
nations who inhabited this Andean plateau
shortly after Columbus discovered America,
at the time the Spaniards came. The whole
country was then peopled with senli-civi-
lized tribes. There were the Chbchas in
Colombia, the Caras and Chancas of Ecua-
dor, the Quichuas of Peru, the Aymaras in
Bolivia, and farther south the brave Arau-
canians who are said to have never been
conquered The Chibchas were skilled in
weaving and the making of pottery. They
had paved highways, and their farming was
carried to a high degree of success. They
had weights and measures, and a currency
in the form of gold disks The Araucanians
had confederacy, and they met i'll grand
councils to decide their public affairs. The
Caras had high civilization, with a mill
tary and tribal organization, and the Ay-
maras, who formed the chief race of Bo-
livia, were a kin to the Quichuas, those
wonderful Indians of Peru, the subjects of
the Incas.

the whites and the half-breeds, or Cholos,
who own most Of the good land of the
Andes. have already described the condi-
ton of these poems in one province of Peru
The conditions are not so bad in some of
the other provinces, and also in parts of b.
livia But everywhere the most of the In
dams are little better than the slaves of the
landowners, and so far as I can learn but
little attempt has been made to elevate
them. The Roman Catholic church, which
is such great force in our country, is prac-
tically dead as far as any civilizing work is
concerned on the Andean plateau, and its
priests have either despaired of doing any
thing with these Indians or they do not care
to attempt it. The field is, believe, one
that that church should take up. The In
dams are more or less subservient to it, and
the Catholics could accomplish more in the
work of regeneration in fixed time than
the Protestants. At present the Protestant
missions are to be credited with most of the
attempts at elevating the Indians that are
now going on.

At the time the Spaniards came, it is esti-
mated that there were from 20 to 40 mil
lions OF these Indians on the high plateau Of
the Andes. They were enslaved by our
Christian white race, and the life was
ground out of them. AS late as 1875 the
Peruvian Indians are said to have num-
bered 100000, but 200 years later this
number had dropped to 100000, while that
of the whole Inca empire, which had num-
bered 100000, had been cut down to less
than 100000

Civilizing the South American Indians

another They work about two days of the
week for their rent.
These Indians form the nucleus of the
missionary work, and it is among them that
the industrial movement is now going on
The trustees have established a school, and
both children and grown-ups are attending
it and learning to read. They have intro
duced new plants and grasses, and they are
experimenting with grains to see if better
conditions of farming cannot be created on
these high plateaus. They expect to i'm
prove the breeds of sheep and to bring in
goats and American cattle. They hope also
to teach the Indians the several trades and
to uplift them in every possible way.
During my stay here I have met Hugo
Wenburg, who is now managing the farm.
He tells me that the Indians would have
nothing to do with the missionaries at first.
They had been told by their neighbors that
the Americans would work them to death
and that they would be cheated out of all
that they had. The trustees had great trou-
bic in getting their confidence, but finally
succeeded, and great desire for education
has sprung up. The Indians are sending
their children to the school, which, owing
to the lack of buildings, is now held in the
patio or open square inside the farmhouse.
The school day is short, as the children
have to work for their parents. The hours
are from to in the morning, but the chill
dren are so anxious to learn that they come
before the teachers are awake. The little
Indians are bright and are about as quick
to learn as the Cholos or whites.
I asked Mr. Wenburg how he was get
ting along introducing new methods OF
farming. He replied;
eve have had great difficulty in getting
the Indians to try anything new, but am
sure that as soon as they can see that our
ways are better we shall have no further
trouble. Among other attempts we have
made was the introduction of the Ameri
can plow The Indian plows are of wood
and are little more than forked sticks, that
cut furrow of only two or three inches.
We imported some plows, but had great
trouble in persuading the Indians to yoke
their oxed to them. The plows are yoked
to the horns of the oxen and the oxen push
the pillow tongue along with their heads.
We showed them that we could plow twice
as deep with our plow as they could with
theirs and when our crops rise high above
their I am sure we shall have no further
trouble"
In talking about the superstitions of the
Indians, Mr.. Wenburg said that they be-
lieve in witchcraft and that death is usually
occasioned by some one bewitching them.

The industrial school which the minister
from Bolivia has asked me to investigate is
supported by money. left by an Italian, one
Antonio Chuiotto, who was converted to
Christianity in the Pencil Hall mission in
Los Angeles. He had gone to the United
States as a young man, had settled in Cali
fornia, and had, as l understand it, there
made a little fortune in milling. Later on
he emgrated to Argentina where he lived
for number of years He there became
interested in the uplifting of the Indians of
South America, and when he saw he had not
much longer to live, decided to leave his
money for that purpose, giving it to the Ar
gentnians There was some difficulty,
however, as to the laws of Argentina that
prevented his making a will to this end, and
he therefore came to Bolivia, where the reg
ulations are different. Here he left his es-
tate, consisting of about $35000 for the
starting of this mission. The money was
put in the hands of the Methodist Episcopal
church mission, or rather into the hands of
three trustees, one of whom was the Rev.
George Mcbride, the president of the Amer
lean Institute of La Paz; another, Hugo
Wenburg, formerly of the American Bible
society, and third, Dr. Foster, medical
missionary.
These men have taken the Italians be-
quest and have bought farm of about 500
acres on the shores of Lake Titicaca, about
As miles from La Paz. The farm slopes
down to the lake under the shadows of the
nightly snow-clad peaks of Sorati and IL
Imam The greater part of it is level, and
it consists of good agricultural land, which
has been in cultivation since the days of the
Incas. The land was bought of Bolivian
haciendado, and it has about $50 Indians
living upon it. According to custom, these
Indians went with the land They have
certain tracts there which they have farmed
from generation to generation and others
upon which they have flocks of one kind or

Today the greater part of the population
of Ecuador is made up of Indians There
are about 100000 Aymaras and Quichuas
here in Bolivia, and there are more than
twice as many, mostly Quichuas, in the Pc
ruvian republic. All of these Indians are in
a low state of civilization Not one in
hundred of them can read or write and the
great majority are more like animals than
like civilized men. They are mere hewers
of wood and drawers of water Nearly all
are the slaves of the alcohol habit; all soak
their brains with cocaine, by chewing the
coca leaf, and altogether they are a race
from whom active mentality seems to have
departed. They are nominally Catholic;
but allied to their Catholicism are many SUI
perstitions connected with the worship of
the sun. They have also strange customs,
such as eating the dead bodies of their enc
mics, and carrying written messages to the
gods when they die, as l shall describe

talked with Mrs. Austin, fine Canadian
woman, the wife of one of the missionary
farm managers. She tells me that the In
dian boys are very quick to learn and show
ed me bright little fellow, belonging to the
farm, who spoke Spanish. At the same
time, she brought out some ears of corn
about foot long with grains as big as lima
beans, and told me that it had been raised
on thefarm. had the boy hold up the ears
of maize and photographed them. Mrs.
Austin says the mission has already proved
that the Indians can be civilized and that all
they need to get along in the world is edu-
cation and freedom from alcohol. This
mission is doing not only work of an indus
trial order among the Indians, but also
evangelical and even gospel work among
the Peruvians. 1t has thriving school at
Curzo, where the pupils are taught Spanish;
and it has trained nurses who serve among
all classes of people.
