The singer was born in Milan in
1889. Before coming to this country
in 1915 she had been singing in Eu-
rope, and for about six years had
been recognized in Spain and Italy.
Her first success in the United
States was made in Chicago. She
was completing an engagement in
South America and planning to re-
turn to Europe when she was heard
by man representing an agency
for making records. He telegraphed
his house in New York to send for
her at once. The result was that
she signed a contract for twelve
years to make records.

A little later the domestic affairs
Of Nine. Galli-Curci underwent a

Curci, came to this country with his
wife and their relations were sup

stories were to the effect that he
enjoyed planning costumes for his
wife to wear on the stage. From the

time has stood still. In the whole
republic there is to-day no streetcar
line, no public electric light system,
no sewerage system, no public tele-
phone system. There are less than
a hundred miles Of public railroads
and the wagon roads are among the
worst to be found anywhere. There
is practically no connection between
the northern and southern parts Of
the island. Although it is only a
little over two hundred miles from
the capital city, on the south, to
Puerto Plata, on the north, it takes
longer to get from one place to the
other than it does from New York
to Liverpool. The United States
military government has begun the
building of roads, but this seems to
proceed very slowly. At the present
rate it will be two or three years
more before the road joining the
northern and southern parts of the
island will be completed. This road,
Of course, will make a remarkable
difference in the life of the island.
AS the interior Of the country is
rather mountainous, the people live
in the pockets Of these mountains or
down in the valleys, completely cut
off from the outside world. Many
country people cannot count to more
than five or six. The densest igno-
rance prevails, not only in the coun-
try districts, but among a large part
of the inhabitants of the cities them
selves. 1t is estimated that from 90
to 95 per cent of the people are un-
able to read and write.
In spite Of the overwhelming igno-
rance Santo Domingo has been noted
throughout the Spanish-speaking
world for a group of literary men
whose writings have displayed some
Of the finest talent ever developed in
America. This group has been
forced by political upheavals from
time to time to migrate to other
countries, and thus some of sheir
greatest authors have been contrib
uted to neighboring lands. The great
Cuban poet Heredia was the child
Of Dominican parents. One Of the
greatest poets Of Santo Domingo
was a woman, Dona Salome Urena.
Her poems in praise of the ideals Of
peace and progress are remarkable.
In the latter part of her life she
aided De Hostos in his educational
movement by founding the first
school for young women in Santo
Domingo. This school has been one
Of the most potent influences in the
country in the formation Of charac-
ter. After her marriage and en-
trance into educational work her
poems echo strongly the home life Of
the wife and mother.
One OF the best historical novels
written concerning Spanish Amer
lea is Enriquillo, which describes
the colonial period Of Santo Domin-
go during the administration of
Diego Columbus, the son Of the dis
coverer, the work of Padre de las
Casas in chanpioning the rights Of
the Indians and the grievances and
last rebellion Of the young Indian
chief, Enriquillo.
A generation ago education In
the republic took on remarkable
revival. under the inspiration Of Eu-
genio de Hostos, who, although
born Porto Rican, gave most Of his
life to Santo Domingo, and few
men are SO revered by the people.
He was born pedagogue, that rare
combination Of profound student
and inspiring instructor. He left
