MEXICAN SCHOOL
NEEDS EXPLAINED
DR.. Frank Tannenbaum Tells
Indian Bureau of Years
Study.

At a stan meeting Of the Indian
Bureau of the Department of Com
merce yesterday DR.. Frank Tannen-
baum discussed rural education in
Mexico, illustrating his lecture with
motion pictures taken in the mountains
of that country.
DR.. Tannenbaum explained that his
study of Mexican Indian schools was
undertaken at the invitation of the
Mexican government, but not under
its auspices. He spent one year IN
the work.
Mexico is q country not Of indi-
viduals, but of communities" he said
"a country of little towns inhabited
by family. groups, widely separated
There are GA 900 such communities
and about $4,000 rural schools will be
needed to serve them"
Farming and Hunting.
Some of these communities are free
and some are on plantations. Farming
and hunting are the principal occupa-
tons.
"a group Of this type" DR.. Tannen-
baum explained, thinks and acts as
unit. There Is no individual opinion
there Is only community Opln.on. WE
cannot understand Mexico unless we
realize this essential difference between
the Mexican mind and the American
mind. The United States is q Nation
Of individuals; Mexico Is a nation OF
communities. With us what she m
dividual thinks is important; with them
only what the community thinks Is OF
any consequence"
Tribal Gods Prevail.
The Indians of Mexico, DR.. Tanner
baum believes, have never really been
Christianized. They still have their old
tribal gods in the mountains, and Chris
tianity has been q matter Of pretense
rather than a psychological fact in the
lives of the people. He exhibited mo-
ton pictures of tribal dances represent
ing the struggle between Montezums
and the Spaniards.
DR.. Tannenbaum spoke with admira-
ton Of the native system for distribur-
Ing news. I'VE always found that we
were expected when we arrived at new
village. The word that we were on the
way had spread through the country.
Every particle Of important news Is dis
seninated in the same way and with q
marvellous speed. The moment thing
happens it is reported far and wide
Every man is reporter; every woman
Is newspaper"

M'KELVE PRAISES
FARM BOARD WORK
Hoover Makes Public Letter
of Resignation, Lauding
Marketing Act.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Hoover made public today
Samuel r. McKelvie's letter of resig-
nation from the the Federal Farm
Board in which McKelvie expressed his
conviction of the "soundnesS of the
agricultural marketing act"
The retiring Farm Board member, a
Nebraskan, said the board had made
substantial progress in two directions,
first, by assisting the farmers to estab-
liSh an enduring marketing system
owned and controlled by them, and
second, in applying emergency measures
to prevent "precipitate declines in farm
commodity prices"
McKelvie said more had been ac-
complished in the development of CO.
operative marketing during the boards
existence than could have been achieved
in 10 years without 1t. He added that
by meeting emergencies through stabili-
Zation, the board had "given to agri-
culture and the country at large q
relief of immeasurable value
"Stabilization activities in wheat and
cotton" he said, stayed the shock Of
precipitate declines that otherwise
would have taken place and gave the
farmer time to market his crops while
adjusting himself to changing economic
conditions .,
Price declines that were inevitable
have come about gradually instead Of at
once. This has saved untold millions
to farmers and has prevented numerous
unwarranted farm failures.
Prom my two-year service on the
Federal Farm Board I am firmly con-
vinced Of the soundness of the agricul-
ture marketing act. / am sure it will
do all that was claimed for it by you
and its other advocates"
President Hoover, in his reply, told
McKelvie he had Contributed a real
public service to American agriculture
which know will be recognized by the
farmers Of the country"
