A LETTER FROM BRAZIL


The following letter from Waldo
B. Dawson, a graduate Of Bcrea Col
lege, is published here instead Of in
the Alumni Column, because IL is
written TO his Berea friends, not all
Of whom by any means are members
Of the Alumni Association.
Mr.. Dawson reads The Citizen
every week, and we should be glad
TO have for publication letters ad-
dressed TO him or TO "The Several
Thousand Students Of the Capital OF
BRAZIL
Rio de Janeiro,
Sept. 5, 1921
Dear Berea Friends:
Monday--Labor Day-and tomor-
row the schools open. But with us
on the coast of Central Brazil, it is
nearing the end Of the cooler season
with weather now very like our
pleasant early May days. We have
had cool rainy days with the temper
ature as low as 58-enough to show
us that there is a much greater var
iation Of temperature than in our old
home in Pernambuco. For the first
time in Brazil we have had straw
berries, and plenty Of them, as well
as things like caulifiower which we
never had in the North. They are
very welcome. Partly because of
better living conditions and partly
because Of the important fact that
we are learning how to live, we find
ourselves in excellent health, with
the two children fat and looking very
healthy. As / remarked to some
friends when in Berea for day dur
ing June, when Mrs. Dawson and
were saying goodbye to those dear
est to us both, we are finding to be
true that very obvious fact that it
doesn't matter so much where you
live as how you live-all of which,
we should have known long ago.
Our good ship land in this case
she was really very good) entered
Rio harbor early the morning Of
July %, after voyage Of fifteen and
a half days. It was our best trip
fairly calm sea, cool breeze-so that
we were heartily glad to exchange
the extraordinary heat of this past
summer for the purple seas of the
tropics; pleasant crowd aboard,
which included three Y. W. C. A. Sec
retaries, eight Methodists and seven
of our own organization. On the
eleventh day we saw our first land
and ships since losing sight M the
Jersey coast-the low palm fringed
coast of North Brazil, with its vast
hinterland whose outlet
is largely Pernambuco. While pass.
ing this port | wrote to a number of
dear Brazilian friends who, however,
have been in touch with us both in
the States and here in Rio.
Our first days were occupied in
getting cases thru the Customs and
then in hunting a house, which we
found no more difficult than at home
it couldn't be, very well. In my
next letter | wish to speak Of our
home and then of our work among
the several thousand students of the
capital Of Brazil Just now we send
our love and good wishes to all in
Berea. The Citizen is a welcome and
valued link of friendship to us all.
As time goes on it may very well
be that students both here in some
Of the eight schools Of college rank
and students in Berea will find thru
US means of communication which
will be valuable both to those con-
cerned and also to both of the coun-
tries. This may be extended to the
professors as well, who, here, are
very anxious to be in direct touch
with those of the same interests in
the United States.
