LEARN SPANISH

II IL rather gratifying to know that
the teaching of the Spanish language

Lattn-American republics. We have
lost heavily on account of our inability
TO talk TO these trades people in South

strange that in all colleges. universe

have been stuffing the students with

While there Is no objection to the

seriously questioned. Besides il would

problem OF school congestion Is
even more battling in Mexico than
It is in the large cities of the
United States.
Outside of the federal district
there r on the whole, very few
schools. The land owners con-
trolling those areas have been as
consistently opposed to education
Tor their poems as are the authori-
tie in Russia. Whenever a pro-
gressive haciendado desired to es-
tablish a school at his own ex
pense. his neighbor persuaded him
to abandon the idea.
There are. indeed, In the outIy-
ing districts a number OF paro-
chial schools, identified with the
churches and maintained by them.
Those schools. however. are deyot-
ed largely to religious instruction
and do not satisfy the needs OF a
truly popular educational system
in Mexico. The seminaries and
colleges, maintained by the church
and the religious orders. are OF
higher quality in their field than
are the parochial schools: but
their benefits go exclusively to
the children of he wealthy.
The actual condition of popular
education in Mexico can be com
pretended from the fact that so
per cent. of the people are Hitter
ate. President CarranZa has ap-
preciated fully the social and DO
htical consequences attendant
upon this general condition of tx.
norance. He realizes that a peo-
pie can preserve their institutions
OF freedom and self government in
peace and prosperity only when
they are endowed with the essen
tials OF a modern public school
education. The education of the
Mexican people is a vital reality.
an imperative political need.
Given peace throughout Mexico.
we hope TO have our public school
system universal within at least
len years. Industrial and voca-
tional instruction will be not only
an integral part of the system. but
also a feature very much empha-
sized. The governments expecta-
nc Is that, with a people able
10 read. write and cipher
and trained to work at useful
trades, the dissemination of
knowledge will progress rapidly.
P~rohtable industry will eliminate
both the idleness and the dissatis-
faction which. under existing in
dustrial conditions, have been the
prime incentives to disorder
Mexic hopes to attain peace and
prosperity through the education
OF the masses OF its people.

With the r%eopening in January
of Mexico's public schools after
the annual vacation. we have 12O
teachers who have now been
trained in the public school sys-
ten of the United States. All, or
nearly all of them, will be placed
in primary schools newly estab-
lshed in the rural districts OF
Mexico. These American trained
teachers will devote themselves
TO districts which. hitherto. have
been wholly lacking in school ia
cilities. and they will give part OF
their time TO the instruction OF
those among the other 5000 teach
ers who have not enjoyed the ad-
vantage of study here.
The task of founding a national
educational system. which is Of
such supreme Importance to Mex
leo. upon so slender a foundation
has hitherto existed. called for the
earliest and most careful atten-
ton OF the President. II Is sig
nihcant OF President Carranza's
aims for our people as well as OF
his comprehension OF the United
states that. a year ago.. he chose
this countryside country which
OF all republics in the world can
revolutionize its policies without
a revolution-as the field of study
Tor a representative group OF
teachers. whom he sent here for a
course of observation and study at
the governments expense.
President CarranZa has repeat
eddy declared his intention OF
sending. ultimately. all of Mexl-
cos primary school teachers. to
the United States for a student
sojourn. even though the govern
ment can afford 10 make their
stay no longer than two or three
months. IL Is apparent, therefore.
that the public schools designed
Tor Mexico by the government. il
they be not wholly modelled upon
the public school system OF the
United States. will be largely in
fluenced by it.
In the federal district. compris-
ing Mexico City and its neighbor-
ing towns, there are about $50
primary schools: one preparatory
school corresponding to an Amer
lean high school. and two normal
schools. n for boys and one for
girls. The primary schools carry
pupils to the fourth grade and pri-
mary education is obligatory on
all children under existing laws.
In practice, however. primary ed
ucation has failed in its obligato-
~ aspect because the Federal dis
trict. possessing only some $50
schools, requires Il least 500. The

THE OHIO
Athens COhio) Messenger.

Athens (Ohio) Messenger.
We notice cropping out here and
there over the state by political writ
ers of more or less prominence. sug-
gestive boomlets for Hon. Myron Il.
Herrick as a Republican candidate for
United states senator from Ohio.
There Is no question but that the
popular Ex-Governor and ex-ambassa-
dor furnishes a fertile subject for
toOmlet writer's in this connection.
Mr.. Herrick is in every way a bigger
man than when he occupied the gov.
] ernOr's chair and led the party &c
defeat against Governor Pattison. His
mastery administration in Paris as
ambassador from the United States
during the early months OF the Euro.
pean cataclysm. made him a world
figure and he was lionized upon his
return home. With it all however. Mr..
Herrick is big enough 10 see things in
their proper perspective and TO realize
that several years absence abroad. has
put him out Of touch with the political
situation Of the day. Prudence there
fore suggests to him to listen TO the
plaudits of admirers but to wait and
therein be may further demonstrate
his perspicacity at least in our opinion.
There looms up another favorite son
of Ohio in the person OF Hon. Harry
NJ. D%augherty. for the United States
-senatorship. whose hold upon the old
liners for standing with matchless
courage for the maintenance OF the
party organization In the trying days
OF 1912. must be reckoned with. For
this reason v @ IL no other candidacy
brooks no successful opposition. Added
10 this Is the widespread following of
those who withdrew then only to re-
turn with manhood enough to admit
that the Christening administered was
deserved and have now declared in
great numbers such loyal Leadership
should be- recognized and be rewarded.
Z No matter what Mr.. Herrick's am.

much admirers may desire TO honor
the party with his candidacy. the con.
