versities, American capital from our

to solve the problem of increased
transportation facilities in a land

Peru Is two or three times 40

about 1000 miles Of railroad. The
Peruvian Corporation, British owned

Peru in the war demonstrated her
ability at teamwork, which is what
the Peruvians mean by reciprocity.
But teamwork, or reciprocity,
means first of all getting acquainted.
Peru, through her writer's, ideal
lists like Ismael Portal, and through
her business men, practical thinkers
like Alberto LARGO, is introducing
the United States-that is, you and
me-to the Peruvian public.
Must Speak Spanish
United States bankers, with in
creased banking and credit facilities
for Peruvian trade, and American
cable companies, with decreased
rates and improved service, and
few manufacturers with catalogues
printed in good Spanish and repre-
sentatives who speak and under
stand the language of Peru, are
helping bring about the introduction
and acquaintanceship

Provisions of the Bill

To understand what Mr.. Fisher
has really done for England one
must look at the educational bill of
1918. The big provisions are that
every child shall go to school until
fourteen, and after that to a
continuation school for at least
seven hours a week until eighteen
The educational bill Of 1918 made
new provision for nursery schools,
central schools for advanced ele-
mentary education; in other words,
schools where moro progressive
pupils could attend classes for
practical instruction, holiday and
school camps, playing fields, ar
rangements for social and physical
training, special arrangements for
children whose circumstances were
exceptional, and medical inspection.
So much, then, for the concern Of
purely educational improvement. 1t
is compulsory for all children to at
tend school until fourteen and all un-
der eighteen except those who have
gone to school regularly until six
teen must attend continuation
schools in the daytime for 800 hours
in the year.

twelve from woMdnn and m child

Warred With His Pen

Thirty years ago. when he laid
down the sword he had carried with
honor through the Peruvian struggle
with Chile, he took up arms against
every imaginable weakness, short
coming, sin and vice of his fellow
countrymen; and in laughter-pro-
voking sarcasm and scathing irony
he has depicted all the wickedness
TO which hesh-and particularly
Peruvian fesh-is heir.
OF course a reformer's books are
primarily for home consumption, and
this is true of some of Portals,
which are being translated into sew

extraordinarily captivating style.
The author holds up the proverbial

fected all national scars, blemishes,

war better than before in education.
During a period when she was at war
that she should have given most and
best thought to her schools is sig
nifcant. A change has come over
our horizon, with every omen of en-
largement and permanence."
Mr.. Fisher answered two inquiries
that were made--what is the special
contribution Of the war to education
and what are the special problems of
England in educational matters .
together.
What War Has Taught
"There has been such quickening
in education matters as could hardly
be imagined by the years Of war.
You cannot take boys away from
home without imbuing them with an
intense desire to know about the
places they have seen. France and
Gallipoli taught our men geography.
The army has done much to educate
men who would not otherwise have
such advantages. They have come
back better than before in the worlds
knowledge and with a new spirit.
They are going to school and filling
our colleges. A new class will enter
professions. This will be a great
asset to the state.
"Our curriculum has been stimu-
lated. Physical training is upper
most, and geography and history
have had new impetus. Thou
sands Of our young men whose
careers were interrupted by war are
now going 10 Oxford and Cambridge
through the government subsidy.

Mr.. Fisher spoke enthusiastically
Of the continuation schools which are
about to open In many centers. I
asked him his estimate Of their good.
Although it is not the best way for
nation to train those who must
enter industries at an early age, he
thought that they would give some
knowledge, and that was a positive
good. Mr.. Fisher thought the short
age Of teachers was not as acute in
England as in America.

nERU Is not merely the Land
Of the 1ncas," as seems to
l. be the general impression in
the United States, but a
country of enormous potential
wealth awaiting only the develop
ment which would be made possible
by enlarged rail and shipping facili-
ties and increased population, ac-
cording to Senor Ismael Portal,
Judge of the High Court Of Claims
of Peru, who sailed last week from
New York for Callao.
Senior Portal, for the last thirty
years the leading journalist of Peru
and the author of twelve "best SELL
ers" in that country, has done for
his native land what Luis Taboada
did for Spain, Mark Twain for the
United States, and, long ago, Mo-
liere for France: while waging war
with his pen, he has created true
literature.

FINE CITY TWICE DESTROYED
Antigua, Spanish Capital of Central
America, the Victim of Flood, Fire
and Earthquake.

Antigua, the glittering Spanish cap
ftaI of all Central America, arose high
on the central plateau in the beauti-
full valley Of Almocongo. Its palaces
and churches it's monasteries and hos
pitfalls, its sparkling fountains and ay-
.enues were unsurpassed in any part
of the new world, while above all tow
cred the sweeping outlines of the
great volcanoes known as the aqua"
and "Fuego' ("Water" and "Fire'D
which were destined TO be her doom.
For twice Antigua was destroyed, the
first time in 1916 by flood of water
from the crater Of the volcano which
was then appropriately called Aqua
and the second time in 1713 by fire
and earthquake from Fuego. The
Spaniards not being able to remon-
strate with the recalcitrant volcanoes
in the same effective manner that was
employed in dealing with the Indians,
other means were reSorted to, ana
these mountains were solemnly pap

with due ceremony into the arms OF
the church in the hope that they would
eschew their heather deities and re-
form their uncOuth ways. Neyertne-
less, as a matter of terrestrial precau-
ton, the capital city was moved ~
miles distant to safer location, where
it is now situated. Strange to say,

| chung tenaciously. Gradually the Ger
mans were forced out, returning tG
East and West Prussia and Polish
authority was set up and maintained
in Polish territory.
Fortunately the bolsheviki at this
time were fighting with Kolchak and
Denikine and were not in a position
TO force the fighting on their western
front Vino was retaken by General
Pilsudski in April 1919. The next Of
fensive in July forced the bolsheviki
east of Minsk. In December the joint
drive of the Poles and Let's cleared
the Baltic region. AT length the line
as it stands at present was estab-
ished in the north. In the south it
faced territory held by General Deni-
kline At one time his forces and the
Poles were in contact.
No Time to Withdraw
while the attention of the bolshe-
visits was diverted by the Kolchak and
Denikine drives Poland converted it's
army into thoroughly trained fight
ing force. 1t now had a government
behind it and the patriotism OF the
people was such that there was no
lack of valor. OF supplies and am.
munition 1t was badly in need. The
allied governments, being no longer
at war, sent some supplies. Some
equipment was purchased from the
United States.
AT the end of this period the fight
Ing line was established to the east OF
the frontier subsequently tentatively
fixed by the peace conference. This
was we'll within the original Polish
boundary. 1t was then impossible for
the Polish armies to withdraw had 1t
been advisable.
"In the first place Poland, even
with the striking progress it had
made in creating an army, was no
match for soviet Russia and to have
retired would have placed Warsaw
and the main Polish railroad centers
enemy. In the second place the peo-
pie of the territory occupied protested
at being left to the mercy of the boil
sheviki. General Pilsudski and the
representatives of the state gave as
surances that Poland had no desire
to extend it's domain against the will
of the people and proclaim the prin-
ciple of self-determination.
Bofshevist Menace Checked.
Besides. it was obvious that the
anti-bolsheyist forces Of Russia were
crumbling and that the next great
drive of the soviet forces would be
directed against Poland. No sooner
was Kolchak eliminated and Denikine
driven far to the south than the boil
sheviki began to concentrate their
forces on the Polish front.
sThis marked the beginning Of the
present phase of the fighting. The
earlier attacks of the bolsheviki were
repulsed General Pilsudski, by seiz-
ing the bridge crossing the Pripet,
Severed the bolsheysts' line of lateral
communication. Next the attack in
the direction of Kieff was launched.
For the moment, at least, the bolshe-
visit menace is checked, but is has not
been eliminated"

MADE THEIR WAY TO FAVOR
Words Banned Fifty Years Ago Are
Now by General Consent Recog-

purgatorious in which are listed all
the tempting words banned at the

usage, remarks a writer in the Home

those lists, drawn up for a New YORK

as aspirant, bogus, collided, com
rnenced (for beg. M, elnploye, endorse

neigllborhood). Most OF these are now
quite respectable and would have the
freedom even Of those newspapers
which once spurned them. Thus, as
ever, do the heresies OF today become
the gospel Of tomorrow. Thus does
progress march.
