New Schools for Matamoros
in Line With Ambitious
Plans of Federal Govern
ment for Education

Great strides in educational develop
ment in Mexico will be made within the
next four years, accordiIg z to General
Cesar Lopez de Lara, governor Of Ia
maulipa.. Mexico. who recently visited
Brownsville and Matamoros spending
several days in the latter city where he
made thorough investigation of con
di;ions pertaining to educational work.
Governor de Lara made the an
nounccmcnt that an appropriation Of
10000, pesos, would be made by the
federal government for the erection Of
two school buildings in the city, and a
committee of prominent citizens was APP
pointed TO secure sites, pass upon plans
and make other necessary arrange
mcnts. IL is understood :hat this sum
will be available as soon as the neces-
sary preliminary work is completed. In
accordance with the usual Mexican Gus
tom. which does not permit the ming
ling Of boys and girls in the same
school. both a boys school and a girls
school building will be erected.
Prior to the Madero revolution the
border towns on the Mexican side had
fairly efficient schools. but these de-
teriorated rapidly during the rcvolu-
tion, until they have reached very
low standard.
