EDUCATION WILL END
MEXICAN REVOLUTIONS

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 7.-lnterven'
ton in Mexico not with arms but by
free public non-sectarian schools was
recommended in report issued to-
night by self-constituted committee
of Americans of national reputation
as educators or publicists. This COM
mittee began studying Mexican condi-
tions about year and half ago. Its
conclusions were summarized as fol.
lows:
THE chaos existing in Mexico Is
due 10 variety of racial elements;
woeful lack of general education; still
greater lack OF political experience.
and rapacity and cupidity Of the edu-
Gated leaders, and, in few instances,
of intelligent uneducated."
To make educational intervention
effective the committee recommended
establishment Of Il non-sectarian col
lege modelled after the Roberts col
leCe in Cnntsantnople. The recon-
mendalion does not say what agency
should establish such college. except
that it would have the backing OF the
American people.
Lack of intelligence and true leader
ship, says the report. have thwnrted
attainment Of liberty in Mexican reVo-
buttons.
