means to improve, correct. train or
refine mans physical or mental
condition. The two South Ameri-
can cities have done more In the
last fifteen years to improve, COR
rect train or refine the people OF
their cities than any other cities In
America. and probably more than
any other cities Of the world. Then
going back to the definition we
must conclude they are cultured.
In many respects we look down
on Puenos Aires and Rio de Janerio.
We consider. the people there In the
light Of gamblers and high liyers.
They know less than we do about
cutting down the cost OF living. for
food prices are higher there than
here. The people are in debt and
thetr educational system is different
from oura We consider our sys-
tenn OF education the hest but they
think their system Is more direct.
They nelteve we waste our time on
