El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1921-12-31

Fue en- el ndmero de septiembre de
1921 de la American Review of Re-
views donde el Doctor Miller insinu6
los conceptos que lie atribuf al empe-
zar estas lineas. De las que 81 publi-
ca ALI, minuciosamente documenta-
das por cierto, sc deduce que hace
veinticiflco amos nusstra instruction
Publica Sc caracterizaba por 10 eXiguo
de la cantidad, y cue ahora Sc carac-
teriza por 10 nocivo de Ia calidad. Sc
podria decir que hace veinticinco amos
no tenfamos aqui un sistema escol&r,
y que ahora tenemos uno que es ps-
simo. Redondeando los nimeros Y
las frases que aporta en- su trabajo
el senior Miller, Sc puede airmar que
nuestros alumnos eran entonces VEIN
te mil y ahora son doscientos mil;
que naestros maestros no llegaban en-
tonces a seiscientos, y ahora pasan de
tres Hlil; y que, en- cuanto edificios
escolares ad hoe. hoy existe un mum
do, donde antes existia la NADIA: Esos
datos dicen 10 exiguo de nuestra cam
tidad de instruction Pdblica hace VEIN
ticinco amos. La tendencia hoy de la
instruction Publica en- Puerto Rico es
arrancar a los puertorriquenos su idio-
ma maternal: ese dato dice 10 nocivo
de nuestra instruction Plblica de hoy.
A la corruption primero, la muer-
te despues del idioma maternal
Sc llega siempre en- todo pueblo
cuando en- sus escuelas para nj
nos, detras delante encima
o al lado de ese idioma, Sc coloca otro
idioma con algupa intensidad. Guam
do ell trato que ha de darse este
otro idioma ha de ser ell de idioma
nacional, entonces ell proceso de CO.

que precede la muerte es mas rapi-

Puerto Rico, y atirna textualmente

puertoriquenos cnsenan casi tcdas las
asignaturas son teXtos en- ingles; Y el

maestros como alumnos, es un ingles

(The PuertOrrican teachers. .. teach
most of the subjects of instruction
with English textbooks and with Gre
siitable oral English on the part of
teachers and pupiis.)
Me voy pernitir poner en- cierto
orden las cuatro afirmaciones del Doc
tor Shaw, para que el lcctor las con-
temple mejor:
! Ia. Ell idiohla vernaculo mater
nal de los puertorriquenos no es el in
giles;
"a. En- las escuelas puertorrique-
mas casi todas las asienaturas Sc en-
senan en- ingles, Y con textos escritos
en- ese idioma;

presan maestros Y alumnos puertolTi-
iquefos es bastante pasable toltra-
BILE;
| IA. FL sistcma esco!ar vigentc on
Puerto Rico es moderno.
Con todo el profundo respeto que
aqui le debemos al noble Y desintere-
sado amigo de Puerto Rico que nos
visit6 en- la primavera pasada, es ne
cesario decirle que sus aseveraciones
contienen algun error. No 'es posi-
BILE lamar mOderno a un sistema de
i ensenanza que no es usado en- sus
escuelas por ningtn pals civilizado nj
moderno. No puede ser mOdernO un
sistema escolar que consiste en- ense-
mar casi todas las asignaturas en- un
idioma que no es ell maternal, Y el
cual, tanto profesores como alunmos,
solo pueden hahlarlo de una manera
pasabIe tolerable. No, Doctor Shaw;
/ esas aseveraciones necesariamente
contienen mucho error. En- todos los
ipaises modernos Y civilizados 10 que
los profesores ensefan Y 10 que los
alumnos aprenden ha de ser expresa-
do por unos v por otros de una NAME
IA aprOpiada; 81 esa manera solo pue-
da llegar ser pasable tolerable, en-
toncesfel sistema escolar que ha pro-
ducido ese resultado no es moderno. :.
Jay! Y nj siquiera cs antique.
Precisamente un libro bastante an
tiguo de Pedagogia, ell tratado que
escribio Plutarco "Sobre la Educacion
de los Ninos", aconseja: "Las personals
que Sc asocien con ell niiio deberan
hablarle siempre en- lengua griega,
porque 81 el Sc acostumbra la con-
versacion de gentes de lengua barba-
IA, (barbara en- su sentido etimologi-
co, es decir, extrana) adquirira del
trato con elias, manchas que nunca Sc
borraran de su espiritu"
Ell Doctor Shaw, que escribi6 en- su
notable Revista calidos parrafos de
encomio y sirnpatia para nuestra Is
Ia pequena y solitaria, Y para los
inermes islenos que en- ella nacimos,
nos debe quizas un segundo articulo,
nos 10 debe seguramente, corrigiendo
los errores que en- el primero come
tiera.

Corchado, nj un ensayista como Ia

Ide a natar todas esas posibilidades,
.desde ell momento mismo en- que ell
papel que juega nuestro idioma en-
nuestras escuelas pdblicas no es el
de nuestrO idiOma, sino solamente el
de un idiOma; el de un idioma muer-
to el de un idioma extrano; ell de
un idioma que debe ser tratado Y en-
senado (este es el plan confesado Y
proclamado por los que tienen a su
cargo nuestra instruction Publica) en-

EN- cuenta al ensenar y tratar este
OtrO idioma, que este Otro es el que
tiene que jugar y ha de jugar en- nues-
ira vida el papel de idioma nacional.
Nuestro idioma merece hoy en- nues-
tras escuelas todas las consideraciones
que en- las escuelas de cualquier pals
civiliZado Sc guardian con los idiomas
muertos; bien es verdad que nuestro
idioma no ha muerto aun entire nos
otros, pero, como antes afirme, 10 es-.
tan matando. Lo estan matando, des-'
de hace algunos amos, los caballeros
de nuestra Secretaria de instruction

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did 1t ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair. while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact. many are leading ladies just be-
cause of their attractive looks. In
uuiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out ALL the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham
pooing, not with any soap or makeshift,
but with n simple mixture by putting a
tcaspoonful of cantbrox twhich they
get from the druggisD in a cup of hot
water and applying this instead OF
soap This full cup of shampoo liquid
is enough so 1t is easy to apply II to all
the hair instead of just the top of the
head. After its ;iss- .he hair dries rap
IDLY with uniform color. Dandruff.
excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Tho hair is SO fluf-
fy that 1t looks much heavier than II
is, its luster and softness are delightful.
