Spain Becoming Alive
to Value of Schools

Spain Becoming Alive
to Value of Schools
No less than $500 new schools have
been created by the Spanish dictator
ship since 1924. Gen. Pimo de Rivera
proposed to create 1000 schools every
year. At first the villages and towns
most in need of schools showed little
enthusiasm and municipalities were
remiss in sending in petitions to meet
their requirements. Persistent gov
ernmental propaganda, however, has
had its effects, and for the last two
years demands for schools have ex-
ceeded the quota provided for in the
budget. Thus 1t would appear that an
appetite for education is being reused
one of the healthiest signs the
Spanish nation has shown In years.
Also girls are waking up to the pos
sibilities Of self-earned independence.
Prior to 1915 there were no female
students at Madrid university, but In
that year go girls took examinations
in philosophy. sciences and pharmacy.
Six years later the number was 1853.
Today more than $4,000 woman stu
dents are matriculated in Spanish uni
versities. The first woman doctor APP
peared in Madrid in 1917. There are
90 today.

Locusts Herded by Plane

When locusts, which recently.
have been taking heavy toll Of crops.
in the Philippines, defied the planes,
sent to rout them, aviators had to,
herd the insects. Army planes were
used to spray poisonous dust on the.
crop destroyers, and, at first, left
them dead in windows on the planta-
lions. Then the locusts changed front,
and when an airplane motor was heard
they vacated areas in vast swarms,
often flying into the paths Of the
planes and menacing the pilots. Avia-
tors then changed their methods, and
herded the swarms of insects, much
as cowboys herd cattle, slowly driv-
ing them out Of the crop districts.
Pilots declare locust punching requires
skill in avoiding the insect columns
while keeping them moving.
