an Englishman born in Peru, gave IN
exceedingly interesting lecture on the
South American continent. One Of
the most astonishing things pointed
out by DIR. Skinner was concerning
the size of the continent. He began
his lecture by saying that most peo-
pie are unaware of the great size of
South America, because of the fact
that most maps are not made to the
proper scale. South America, as DR..
Skinner stated, is large enough to
hold comfortably the entire population
of the earth with the population of
India, which has OO,OOO.OOO, thrown
in. DR.. Skinner dwelt on the COM
mercial possibilities of South Amer
lea and stated that they are unlimited.
He pointed out that the trade of the
United States with South America
has doubled since 1917. This trade,
he says, can be held and increased if
the American business men will make
a study of the peoples and conditions
obtaining in South America. The bus
mess with South America must be
done according to the ideas of the
South American. Business correspon-s
dence with Brazil, for example, must
be carried on in the Portuguese Ian
guage, as this is the language of that
country. The other South American
countries have Spanish as their Ian
guage. In mentioning the great pos
sibilities of South America, DIR. Skin
nar called attention to the fact that
the continent has more navigable riv-
ers than any other part of the world.
The Amazon alone is more than 1000
miles in length. The country mention
ed by the lecturer as having the finest
climate, and being one of finest of the
South American countries in which To
live, is Paraguaq.
