ECUADOR HAS FEW SCHOOLS
Colleges in South Amer an Country
Out of All Proportion to Pri-
mary Institutions.

If the proportion of whites in the
population of a country is to he taken
as an indication of it's intellectual
status, then one might fairly expect
only very moderate intellectual
achievement from Ecuador One of
the smallest of Andean countries, with
its few mountain towns linked with
the rest of the world practically not
otherwise than through its one impor-
tant seaport, it's entire population is
only about ~ million, and of this
number all are Indians and blacks ex-
cepting the four hundred thousand of
mixed origin and mere one hundred
thousand whites.
AT best, the twelve hundred primary
schools, with nominal attendance
of eighty thousand, do not begin to
account for all the children of school
age, and the thirty or forty secondary
schools have to do with no more than
forty-five hundred pupils, all told.
Like all Andean countries, however,
