AMERICAN GIRL TEACHERS
LEARN SPANISH IN MEXICO

MEXICO CITY. Sept. THE TIM
borored conception of the typical
schoolma'am-sharp features, spec
;acles. hair tightly coiled in a knot
at the top of the head-has been
pleasingly corrected here during the
mast few weeks by the more than
1.O0c young women school teachers
from the United States who have
been taking special summer courses
in Spanish al the national university.
Almost "happeresque," but not too
much so, they cluttered UP the down
town streets every afternoon when
classes were over to do their window
shopping. What with swagger sticks
and sport clothes and startling colt
e, they presented a charming ar
ray of American womanhood that
gave the lifts" those self-appointed
Judges of all feminine beauty In
Mexico City, some hectic moments.
The young women came from all
parts of the United States. From
Maine and down the coast to Florida
and from Washington to Los An
geles and from the middle west they
focked here at the close of chool
terms in the States to gain an inti-
mate knowledge of the Spanish Ian
guage by studying it in its native
haunts. The Mexican government
provided a number of courses Ill
Spanish and supplementary studies.
and also furnished free Transports
ton from the border to Mexico City
and return, There were a few men
teachers along, but their numbers
were negligible.

ENGLISH CIVIL SERVICE
employees INVESTIGATED

LONDON, Sept. Tn England,
as in most countries, it is very G.f-
iicult to get people to work as ndrd
for government departments as for
business houses. That is the con-
clusion forced upon a special com
mitteo which has been trying to find
out what is wrong with the Civil
Service.
Before the war the Civil Service
employed 2S3, 600 people at a cost of
f29, 500, 600. Now it employs $685.
900 at a cost of fGI.400.000. Civil
servants, it is stated, usually start
work in London at 10 o'clock in the
morning, take three quarters Of an
hour for lunch and knock OFF
promptly at 5 o'clock except OH Sat
Their hours of work during 'he
week thus average only thirty-four.
Their annual holidays range from
three weeks to eight weeks, accord
ing to the way they are graded.
The committee sees no reason
why the hours OF civil servants
not be the same as those Of
ordinary clerks in civil employm>rt.
nor why they should get more tLln
or three weeks vacation, as is
in business houses.
TT il clear" the committee says,
that if the hours of work were m
creased to a moderate extent 1t
be possible to reduce the
and so effect a reduction in
he cost Of the service"
That is obvious, but no govern
nent has succeeded in doing it yet
md meanwhile the stats of the
"a rious government departments
re not worrying over the prospect
# having to work longer hours and
shorter holidays.
