Spain and Spanish life are col- ored with the romantic tinge by ear- Her writers; Spain is yet in the mak- ing. Right at our door is Mexico, country rich in tradition, and be- ginning to produce some literature worthy of serious study.
 Brought closer to us by the Pan anna Canal are the great nations of South America. a field of unlimited promise.
 The study Of Spanish in this coun- try should serve to unite in common bonds the people of the United States and of that territory stretch ing far to the south, Spanish America.
 While 1t is unfortunately true that many of the merchants of the United States believe that America begins at Niagara Falls and ends at the Rio Grande, the study of the Spanish language and life of the Spanish people can serve no better end than to dissolve the mist Of ignorance which prevails and to bring to the knowledge of all the truth about the Spanish American world.
 Since 1910 something has been done in this direction, and the next few decades will probably see Span ish students in the United States going to South America as we'll as to Spain, and studying the life and literature of Spanish America at the same time that they become familiar with that of the mother country. The study of the language. the life. and the ideals of the S0,o0c,o00 to the south may bring the masses in the United States to realize that.
 America extends to the Strait of Magellan. and with that knowledge may come a deeper appreciation of the culture which Spain transplant ed to American shores.
 To understand our neighbors. 10 appraise at its truth their apprecia- ton Of art. of music, of the beauti- full in general. to know their sense Of fneness and of courtesy-that should surely be one of the aims of the teaching of Spanish in the United States
 Therefore Spanish should be key to an understanding Of Spain and Of Spanish thought and culture, both in Europe and in America

FLOOD WATERS ARE
 SLOWLY RECEDING
New Orleans Reports Lowest
 Point in Months

New Orleans. June 1 R - With the flood menace concentrated in a comparatively small area in the south central part of the state, re- lief workers today turned their at- tention to the problem Of getting the refugees back to their lands and giving them a new start in life.
 Plans were made at the Baton Rouge camp yesterday to start a first party Of 75 men back into the Bayou Des Glaises area. which is slowly emerging from the murky covering of water which has hid den it for q month. The women and children were to remain at the camp until the men had provided q place for them. The first party will be sent to the region around Simmesport which got comparative ly little water from the Bayou Des Glaises breaks.
 At Morgan City. the residents who have remained in the face Of the predicted flood were raising their furniture little higher on scaffolds owing to a warning from the weather bureau here yesterday that the waters would rise from o.S to c.s feet above their present levels before the crest of the flood passed the city. In the upper Ten sas basin the water was falling slowing and planters were preparing 10 start late crops as soon as the slimy mud covering the land has dried sufficiently for them to start work.
 The situation on the lower river was unchanged. The gauge at New Orleans registered a further drop of 9. bringing the stage to 1s.s the lowest it has been for several months and only 1.s feet above flood stage
