Mexican Conditions Reviewed.
Mexican Children Are NOU Being Educated as
Never Before in Spite of Opposition Main
tanning That Education Means Indianizins
and Not Democratizing the Country

ally encouraged education. schools
are open in every hamlet in Mexico
that has handful of children. The
teachers are not well paid. Many are
even yet not being promised mora
than a pittance and very few are get
ting what they are promised. But
there is at least an obvious effort
being made to provide schooling for
the children. The administration has
had so much to say about this that
1t would not dare to 90 back on its
own promises. A strong popular
sentiment has been aroused. The
people of Mexico-which is to say
the Indians Of Mexico--want educa-
ton for their children.
ssNot observation-disclosures IL
the cry OF those in opposition.
There can be little doubt that there
is a conscious trend toward the s7n-
dianizing" of Mexico. More and more
politicians are appealing for support
on the ground that they have share
Of the blood OF the primitiveg. Be-
nito Juarez was a pure bred Indian.
Diaz was mostly Indian In bloods
They are Mexican heroes. But the
talk-on both the pro and con sides
--of Indianizing seems to be largely
demagogy. Ultimately it will be the
man of ability who win rise to power
In this or any other community. But
Indianizing is not educating.
The Indian . Grave Problem
The ignorant. inpressionable. half
savage Indian Of today in Mexico
is as clay in the potter's hand. The
politician tells him nonsense and 1t
is believed. The Indian knows no
better. He can be excited to frenzy
by an adroit speaker. Generals who
need armies merely commander the
services of poems. The poor peon
has always been accustomed to obey.
Peonage has existed because Of the
ignorance of the Indian. He has no
wants, except for beans. cakes. and
pulque, with now and then a shred OF
cotton cloth. Therefore he has not
worked voluntarily. In order TO
compel him to work he was cheated
into debt and the courts gave the
planter the right to use the whip
to collect" the work due. The In
dian who manages to get to the
United States--which Is equivalent
to getting an education-ceases to
be peon in most cases.
The education that ObrAgon and
his administrative aids are giving
the Indian children of today will
change the whole aspect of Mexico
tomorrow Pessimists talk of revo-
lutions and bolshevism and unrest.
Optimists hold that the Indian who
has even a little knowledge Is by
just that much a more stable ele-
ment in the political mixture. The
one thing that both are agreed on is
that education means change. And
! there is at least a trifle OF educa-
tion to be had today in every village
in Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 3.--Walk
through any Mexican city or town.
The things one sees and hears are
much alike. no matter where one
may be. The church bells clang in
cast-iron agony. Pigs sleep in the
dust under the shade of walls. Dogs
either bristie and bark or scratch
meditatiyely. Small babies, more
or less naked, tumble back over
doorsteps into safety. Oxen sway
along in front of creaking carts.
The school children clamor in con-
cert
That's what I was leading up to-:
The school children.
1t is a matter of small Importance
that they learn their lessons by
gabbling them aloud. The fact is
that they do learn them. Every one
agrees that another explosive COM
pound Is being added to Mexico's e
riches in this line. Those who be-
lieve In education--and 1t Is difficult
for a Gringo to believe that any one
can sanely oppose education--admit
the next generation of voters may
be a radical one.
'They will right the wrongs OF the
past they say.
The righting may be done explo-
sively, they admit, but at least the
wrongs will be righted. The others,
who frankly and loudly oppose edu-
cation, say that the Obregon admin
istration is "Indianizing-no demo-
cratizing-the Mexicans. Education
means ensuring a. continuance of
civil war;" they say.
Here are the facts, so far as they
may interest Americans. There are
no statistics of school. attendance, OF
anything OF that sort. Or. rather,
there are statistics, but they are
valueless. No statistics IN Mexico
are worth the paper they are writ
ten on. No matter what the statis-
tics may be--whether of the total i'm
ports of chick peas or the size of the
army-they are apt to be vitiated by
deliberate intent, by failure to i'm
clude all the factors, by the failure
of some districts to report at all. OF
by unintentional errors. But these
generalities may be offered:

WHO WAS &c FlRsT NuRsE9

Certain womens organizations OF
the charitable sort recently made an
inquiry as to who was the first nurse
mentioned in history. The Bible was
consulted. and il was found that,
while nurses of q certain type are
mentioned. they were not those
trained for the actual care OF the
sick.
gated was probably Fabiola, a Roman
woman. who established a hospital
and a house of convalescents Tor the
moor following her conversion 70
Christianity. She organized an as
sociation of wealthy women ana
started trained nursing as a profess
sion.
Those nurses whom we speak OF as
sisters" because Of certain ancient
religious connections. were recruited
from the laiety In 1914. when ~
women were engaged to care for the
patients and do the work OF subal-
terms at st. Bartholomew hoSpitai
in London. 1t was not until 1870
that the physicians In a New YORK
hospital began to instruct nurses IN
the necessities of cleanliness from ths
medical standpoint
The first school for nurses was es-
tablished in Germany in 1885, ana Y
was Florence Nightingale, the famous
nurse OF the Crimea, who gave iuster
to the nursing profession in England
and a moral authority which It mas
carefully guarded ever since.
AS a matter OF fact. however, was
not the first woman the first nurse

WINNING THE $4,000 NAVY

; raised by taxes on the people are re-
quired to support them. BY propon-
ents OF the $4,000 Navy this is re-
garded as an inevitable but some
what peculiar state of mind.
One of the Senators who declared
he would fight the naval limitation
treaty If the $4,000 personnel was not
made an issue by the White House,
points out this situation.
Would Weaken Navy
If, in the negotiations between the
powers of the world which led to the
treaty. the United States had agreed
to write into the covenants an agree
ment that it would scrap one more
battleship than England there would
have been a veritable roar of protest
| from the people of the country. Then
he said, Messrs. Hughes, Lodge, Root
and Underwood might as well have
volutarily retired to private life.
They would have been looked upon,
he contended as having betrayed
their country by permitting 1t to be
weaker specifically in naval power
| than another great power of the
earth, and as having invited trouble
| by that action. The interest and ex-
citement aroused by the agreement
all through the country is guarantee
! or TINS IacL. ne saIu-
AS a matter of fact, this Senator
said, cutting down the personnel Of
| the navy SO that all the ships allowed
the United States could not be kept
| in commission and the men trained
| to their duties. amounts to exactly
| the same thing. The ships and guns
alone are nothing, without trained
crews to operate them. Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt is
authority for the statement that with
$1,000 personnel, the Navy could keep
! in commission only 13 of the is capI-
! tai fighting ships allowed 1t under
| the treaty The other vessels would
| have skeleton crews on them only. To
keep them from going completely to
pot while lying idle for periods OF
\ years.
This Senator. who comes from a
| state where the question OF Japan IS
ever in the minds Of the people, said
| that the people of this part of the
country were alive to this fact. They
| felt that the United STATES might just
as well scrap five OF its big fighting
ships as have that many out Of com
| mission and unable to render service
when that service was needed.
/ All of this, it is understood, was
communicated to the White House
President Harding saw the justice OF
the situation. The administration
was torn between going counter to
| its own leadership in the House OF
Representatives ana the possibility
OF failing to have the Senate ratify
the naval treaty Even if the oppo-
sition which would have sprung up In
| the Senate and had not been strong
enough to defeat the treaty. it would
have caused big break in the ranks
of the Republican majority there, q
thing which naturally the President
was anxious to avoid.
In this dilemma, President Hard
| ing, whose own views were opposed
to having idle and undermined ves-
sells, went before the Members of the
House of Representatives. and by his
Influence secured adoption of the
| larger personnel for the limited
American Navy.

THE ANNOUNCER

Fate is sort of hard old dame
With bleak and a wintry frown
As if her one and her only aim
Were staring your courage down;
And brave is the man who can meet her stare
And answer it dauntlessy, glare for glare
OF tempered steel is his spirit made
Who covers no whit at chance
But grim and dogged and unafraid
Battles with circumstance,
And so goes on with his great endeaNor,
Steadfast stubborn and stern ever.
But braver still is the man who turns
A humorous eye at Fate
Who grins and chuckes when he llscorns
Her venom and wrath and hate;
whatever the game, he viii stand the gaff
Who can look in the face Of Fate-and laugh

The who's Who" which Mr. NIllage was asked
to prepare is another kind of arstocracy-composed
Of those with discriminating taste for good liquor
