from which Mexican educators
considered the revolution ac-
complished. Before h 7,
there were well-meaning but
n e { f ective educational
schemes enacted by the Diaz
government as far back as
1889. Thus, for the period
1910-1930, little advance was
registered. But since 1880,
the decrease Of illiteracy rep
resents 10.5 per cent.
Illiteracy, however, was
only the beginning. Parallel
problems were teaching the
use Of basic instruments Of
culture. imparting to the ag-
ricultural masses scientific
and technical processes To IN
crease soil productivity, and
application of that knowledge
TO make effective the distribu-
ton Of land.
Specifically, according to
DR.. Miguel y. Lira of the
ministry Of education, a leader
in the movement, this meant
getting enough teachers, put
ting up enough schools and

BY JOSE RODRIGUEZ
MEXICO CITY, Aug. ]

MEAlCO CITY, Aug. /.
IN IT'S march toward mod
i ern nationhood, Mexico has
found the measure of one of
its most formidable oppo-
nents: illiteracy.
The system Of schools at
first improvised during revo-
lutionary days, maintained in
its embryonic stage only by
faith and effort is now on a
firm and solid basis. Hitter
acy, once the rule, is rapidly
becoming the exception.
There is hardly a village
small enough not to have its
schoolhouse and its training
center.
A tour by this correspond
ent of several communities in
the valley of Mexico, among
little towns of workmen and
peasants, revealed every
where splendid manifestations
of spirit and enthusiasm.
Not only small children, but
their parents, attend regu-
larly classes in clean, airy,
well-conducted schools, most
Of them erected by the towns
themselves. and all stated by
teachers who are themselves
products OF the educational
campaign designed and car
ried out by the federal gov
eminent.
THE system is simple and
L practical, and is divided
into six phases;
special schools for the
Indian population, which com
prises 80 per cent of the
total. These specialize in
teaching the Spanish Ian
guage, rudiments of hygiene
and economy and practical
training in agricultural tech
niGue.
2-Rural schools, which
add agricultural and technical
training. -.
3-Tra,eling cultural mis-
si0ns, which tour the country
spreading among peasant
communities the arts and
crafts of living.
l - Modern technical
schools. which complete the
worker, preparation for in
dustrial production.
Enhancing of primary
and secondary education over
all the republic. with the CO.
operation of federal groups.
6-Priority of mass educa-
ton over university and pro-
fcssiOnal training.

I BELIEVE, TOO. that Henry
L Wallace. the vice president,
meant me when he smoke last
Sunday Of midget lIltlers who
continually attack labor
He knows have never at
tackled labor by as much as one
word and he knows. too. that
his administration has created
the equivalent of IIitlCr'S Labor
Front and. like Hitler. has used
the power of the government TO
suppress independent unions.
Mr. Wallace is one of labor's
deadhcst enemies because he
approaches labor IN the guiSe Of
friend and labor trustingly be-
licveS him.
Mr. Wallace said powerful
groups Of money loving Ameri-
-can---EaSGIzls--Ncrp.--irylnG
take advantage Of President

achievements Of the last 10

ing advantage Of tho patriotic

| OvADLE LITTLE PUP'LOSESOUT
Owner Refused Sanction for NOn-PIeasure Ride;
 OPA Lists AIibis

During the first 4s hours of the oaInpaibn against non-essential drt- ing, members of the Rationihg Division of the State OPA answered more than 800 telephone calls from uncertain car owners, all anxious to cooperate, and were treated to intimate glimpses of private life.
 For instance, there was the case of the woman who called to ask If 1t was all right Is she and her bus. banda who worked in Marttord, had dinner downtown, went to a mavie, then drove home to Manchester afterward. This was allowable, she was told, since the car would have to get back to Manchester somehow.
 Got It straight
 Hardly had the woman hung up, though, than her husband was on the wire, "just wanted to make sure she got the thing straight" he explained.
 Proof that animals play an inc portant part in the life of many Connecticut citizens was also evid- ent. one man, explaining he keeps O horse in town quite distance from his home, wanted to know If he would be permitted to visit 1t to feed 1t over the weekend. "The fellow who takes care of 1t during the week has gone away for a few days," he said.
 N He got an okay.
 But no okay was given to the woman who, preparatory to start. ing o vacation in the west, desired permission to drive her dog = "a loyable little pup" to New London, where lived the only woman in the State capable of taking care of the creature.
 Cheaper Meat
 Nor would the OPA sanction the trip . man proposed to take to New Britain for the purpose of buying meat "at least 10 cents cheaper than 1t sells for in Hartford" al- though the man said he's been trad ing with the New Britain butcher for 17 years.
 Generally, the oPA stan answer eed most questions by posing one themselves: "Is 1t absolutely essen- tial that you driver"
 Most iilquirers, after a moments thought, admitted the trip they had in mind could be postponed or could be made by public conveyance.
 "The observance of this emergency order depends for success upon the people themselves one official said 'They must use their own discre- ton. If they let their conscience be their guide, the desired results oi the 0eder will be attained"

 Now caution was e must" for everyone. Forward patrols inched along through swampy jungles, using every natural obstacle for protection against enemy patrols. No one was challenged. If a leaf or branch flua- tered, the spot was fusilladed. NATIVE FOOT SUITS
 Natives here greeted us festively. Daubing themselves with their Sum- day suits" of yellow paint, they pitched in to help unload boats and stack and cover supplies. AS they worked they chanted.
