train as many girls as possible to go out into
the huts and jacals of the Mexican villages and
teach the Mexican Indians the things they
should know.
This is task for stout hearts Mexico is being
educated in the face of staggering difficulties.
great number of Indian tribes, speaking q
great number of different languages, compose
the Mexican nation. Many of these do not
know they belong to a nation at all, have not
heard the world Mexico and have not seen the
Mexican flag
They have to be taught Spanish and they
have to be taught everything else, including
play The parents have to be taught as well
as the children, and the girls who go out into
the rural schools, often little more than chill
dren themselves, teach the young of the village
in the daytime and the adults in the evening"
Where there are not schools enough for all,
cultural missions" are organized, and two or
three girls together go from village to village,
staying three weeks in each and teaching
the community what they can in that time
social arts, of handiwork and of book learning
This kind of work calls for much more than
a languorouS manner and a rebellion against
past conventions. The girls who do it ride on
horseback over perilous mountain trails They
live in native homes and eat native food. OF the
first group of girls to try it, all broke down after
the second year. Yet girls from old Spanish
families as well as the sturdier Indian maidens
are volunteering for this crusade.

they have many of the privileges that
women of the United States enjoy, and few
that they do not.
The fight is still going AS recently
1925 the Archbishop of Mexico Jose Mara
Del Rio, told the people of his country that
the church in Mexico disapproves of women
leaving the home to become wage earners.
But about the same time relative of the
archbishop struck mighty blow for the other
side by becoming famous at earning her living.
She was Dolores Del Rio.
Dolores pretty face flashing across the silver
screen, has had a profound effect upon the
social and economic life of her nation, and
forces to which she has impaired added motion
\ will probably continue long after her dazzling
eyes have been forgotten
The young relative of Archbishop jose Mara
y Del Rio is quite certain to be remembered in
history one who played an important part in
winning whole new order for the women OF
her country. 1t was the revolution which pro-
Vived Mexican women with their great oppor-
tunity to break away from their old lives into
a new economic freedom, but it was Dolores
who provided the courage for many who would
have faltered and hesitated to become indie
pendent wage earners.
MEXICAN women are of two divisions
There those of Spanish blood, de-
scendants of the conquistadores, and there are
those of Indian blood, descendants of tie Aztecs
and other peoples.
The secluded status of Spanish women has
become a byword through the world and in
Mexico the usage vigorously observed b.
those of Spanish birth or breeding.
Mexican women of Indian blood-and 1lat
includes the greater part of the population OF
the country-bound by the restrictions of the
ruling class were also barred from active pur-
suits, though they have always enjoyed great
er degree OF freedom in the social relationships
of life than have the Spanish women.
1t used to be that Mexican girl of Spanish
blood lived one of two lives. she married and
bore children, managed her household unob-
trusiyely and went often to church in her black
lace mantilla. Or she became nun and spent
even more time in prayer. In neither case did
She receive more than a most casual and rudi-
mcntary education.

Chickens More Numerous.

FOR every 20 chickens that were raised on
the farms of this country during 1923
there will be 81 this year. A survey covering
10000 representative farms yielded figures to
bear out this estimate

WHAT she wants she goes about getting by
appealing with all the charm at her COM
mand to husband father, brother or acquaint-
ance, and the method has not been ineffective,
for already Mexican laws contain many of the
provisions for which women of other countries
have sternly and righteously commended for
many years.
All colleges and universities in Mexico are CO.
educational and girls are admitted to them on
equal terms with men, while in parts of the
United States relics of prejudice against higher
education for women still linger in a few State
laws.
Mexican women may study to be doctors or
lawyers and may, so far as the law is concerned
enter any sort of business or profession.
The Mexican constitution provides that equal
pay shall be given for equal work, regardless
of sex.
Laws regarding property rights of married
wemen are extremely liberal.
But on the other hand, women may not vote
in national elections and only four states have
provided for voting by women in local elections.
These are the radical states of Yucatan, and
TabaSco, Chiapa and San Luis Potosi.

~ ENORITA will always be romantic
Y word, but none of the stories it con-
lures up in the mind will ever be more
romantic than the story of the Senor-
ita of Mexico who stepped from her
secluded balcony to live in the world where
women are persons.
One by one the dark-eyed girls of the land
next door have quietly been doing that for
some time past. 1t has not been an easy step;
but that is what makes it story.
What Mexican women have accomplished In
the way of creating new world for themselves
has been accomplished in spite of the infinite
difficulty. Custom, tradition and religion have
all been against them They have had to fight
every step of the way these great forces in
which the roots of their lives were grounded.
Yet Mexican women have made tremendous
strides out of medievalism in the few years past;

Ho7U Dolores Del Rio Paced the nay for
the Feminine Re0oH against old Customs
That for Centuries Haze Held Back the
Fair SEX in HI Spanish-American
Countries and What Is Happening as a
Result

If she married expecting romantic devotion
she was usually disappointed, for custom did
not frown upon men of many devotions and
many affairs. She looked forward to no
lease from an unhappy alliance, for the law,
until few years ago, offered her none except
DEATH
She might with the sanction of all, smoke
long, thin cigars and she might retain her own
name after marriage and pass it on to her chill
dren, but of the privileges enjoyed elsewhere oy
women she knew nothing.
Thousands of Spanish girls chose a convent
life instead of this.
Girls sent to a convent school, the only kind
there was for girls, learned to view the nuns
and the religious life with all the intense
ton of adolescence. The process of taking the
veil was a dramatic pageant in which the girl
was the central figure, approved by all about
her, and the appeal of all this proved great TO
youth.
THAT used to be life in Mexico for woman.
Now there are some 60 woman doctors in
Mexico City. There are at least half dozen
woman lawyers. Senorta Guadalupe Zuniga is
a judge of the juvenile court. Senorita Esper-
ANA Velasquez Bringas is head of the National
Library. and in charge not only Of its great or
ganization in Mexico City, but also of its extern
sion work in all parts of the nation. Scores of
other women hold prominent positions.
Dark-haired senoritaS-and some that have
bleached their tresses to a tentative blond
swing along the streets their way to Office
jobs. There are many girl secretaries and
stenographers. There are girl mattresses in al
most every restaurant and most of them have
bobbed hair and rouged lips
There are girl clerks in the stores and there
are many many girl teachers in the new public
schools, both in the cities and in the country.
Usually the senorita who labors as secre-
&arry etc roplanr Dc tnoIlv1 H. 49,
naughty about it. She will come to work in
long, dangling earrings and her languorous
manner will convey her conviction that her
presence is favor to all concerned.
But she is there. And since the Mexican
business day consists of little work, a very
long siesta and then some more work, she has
to walk home, in the Winter months, through
dark streets. One. more convention thus
crashes, for the majority of the girls, even
though the daughters of the few, the Oldest
families, still chaperoned whenever they
leave their homes
IT is in teaching that Mexican girls are find
ing their greatest field of opportunity at the
present time. The program of placing rural
schools in every hamlet of the land is new
one and teachers have to be found before it
can be successful. Since 1928 1000 rural
schools have been established, and the program
is far from complete.
The government has decided that women
make better teachers than men, in the rural
field at least, and it has started diligently -

OUCH an assignment calls for real talent, too.
- for art is fundamental part of the instruc-
ton of Indian children. Mexican Indians are
gifted race The things they make with their
hands all have touch Of grace and beauty.
Some of their ancient handicraft they remem-
Der and some they have to be shown abcut.
There is an open-air school of art in the
=. midst of a community of Indian villages where
young boys and girls go and are given colors
and brushes and allowed to interpret as they
will with amazing results There is an open-air
school of sculpture where little chaps, scarcely
big enough to hold a chisel, are turned loose
with blocks of stone.
little training and the tiny Indian boy be-
comes an orator with fire and poise. With
scarcely any training the Indian boy and Indian
girl learn to dance the jarabe, the ancient peas
ant dance that looks so charming done in Pob-
lana costume the boy in sombrero and gayly
colored tight trousers, the girl in flaming red
skirt. glittering with gold sequins and en-
broidered blouse.
Next to teaching the activity finding most
favor among MeXico'S new women is nursing.
Thousands of girls are training themselves for
this work. There is demand for nurses for
the health centers being established in all the
Mexican cities and the prenatal and postnatal
clinics as we'll in the hospitals.
There is no feminist movement to speak of in
Mexico. There is no demand for the ballot
and no cry for equal rights. The lady of Span
ish blood does not attain her ends in just that
way. Instinct has taught her that there are
other methods than parading. demanding and
threatening by which advantage may be gained
from men.
