tain sides of this historic and fer,
fertile country and every where spun
the wheels of industry.
Prosperity established Diaz turned
his hand to education. Schools
sprang up in every village, young
men were sent to the United States
and abroad to study modern educa-
tional methods. Newspapers were es-
tablished in every community and the
muzzle which had been kept on the
press for so many years was gradu-
ally loosened. And this very educa-
ton of the people helped to spell
Diaz's doom. A little education is
said to be a dangerous thing and it
certainly proved so in Mexico for
the tickle public without a thought o.
the principles which underlay the
benifcent dictatorship of their ruler
drove him in exile from his native
land.
But there was still another rea-
son for the fall of this great states
man. A dictator can never delegate
his power and this Diaz attempted to
do in his latter years. In the begin
ming he was able to supervise every
department of the government and
was personally acquainted with every
employe but in the last few years o.
his regime the country had grown 81

his authority to his subordlnates

to leave the active list under the
