Missionary to Mexico
Tells of Conditions There
Miss EsteIe Richie Gives Graphic
Portrayal of Life in That Country,
at Meeting Tuesday Evening at
Methodist Church

Miss Estele Ritchie, a missionary
gathering Of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary society members at the
Green Street Methodist church Tues
day evening gave most interesting
discourse on Mexico AS l Know It."
Mis- Richie has been in Mexico for
over a year, going out from the Pine
Tree State from her home town of
Foxcroft under the auspices of the
Foreign Missionary Society of the
Methodist denomination.
The people of Mexico, she said are
made up of all races-Negroes. In
diansand half-breeds predominating.
Eighty-five per cent. are ihiterate
and cannot read or write. The school
system of the country is very bad.
Poverty and superstition reign SUI
prcme among the masses. AS a peo-
pie, the Mexicans are sensitive and
respectful. Banditism is the result
of the conditions of the nation. 1t is
easier to steal than to work. They
are ideal farmers if only <eiven the
opportunity. They arc a colorful
people too. They do like to dress.
Idleness is a great evil among them
and they are surely uncleanly. The
sanitary conditions of the country is
poor Corn and beans form the prin-
cipal food of the common people.
The death rate is very high about AZ
per cent
Something must be done for these
unfortunates. They do not under
stand the people of these United
States. They have been very much
misled people, but are sure to come
into their own. The Catholic church
has done a lot for them and is the
leading factor of their civil life. The
destinies~o their government are at
the present in the ahnds Of good rul-
ers, but they have been duped and
misguided in the past. Our people
have a huge task before them.
In closing. Miss Ritchie appealed
for united aid among the women of
the society for relief work in Mex
leo, saying that she would go back
to that country for another year and
at the end Of which time she would
be better abe to present their condi-
ton in greater detail.
Miss Richie is young woman, en-
ergtic and sincere in her vocation,
and possesses a most charming per-
sonalty that Immediately endears
her to her audience. She assured her
hearers that she would return 10
address them some time within an
other year.
