Study Of Spanish

guage has acquired an official
character in many countries and
receives special attention In
others. In 1921 more than sO0.-
900 students were enrolled In
Spanish courses In the United
States. Many books in Spanish
are exported from France and
from Germany. Reports recently
received by the Interior Depart
rl1ent, Bureau Of Education, show
that q book IN that language pub
lished in Paris may be sold in
Lima, Peru, for so centavoe, al

from Spain would cost between

The largest importers from
Spain would cost between SO and
so centaYos.
The largest importers from
Spain are Argentina, Cuba and
Mexico. Argentina imports 40
per cent Of all its books from
Spain, and its importation from
France and the United States is
about equal. The United States
has recently made great 1rides
as publisher of Spanish books.
Cuba's importation Of lAooks Is
81 per cent from the United

neither an hour nor day. a month

Some of these movements, as

But let, US see to what spaces

Curiously enough, it may seem, this
depends upon the latitude in which
we are. On the equator an hour
corresponds to about 1887 miles OF
distance. But in the latitude ef
40 degrees an hour corresponds TO
only about 500 miles, while at the
poles 1t has no spatial equivalent
at all.
In latitude 40 degrees a minute
corresponds to about 13 1-3 miles,
and a second to about 1,162 feet.

erees is borne eastward more than
a fifth of a mile by the earth's

Several trainloads of relief seanen
