Hears Miss Gana

Chile Is turning increasingly to-
ward North America for higher
education and cultural pursuits.
according 10 Miss consuelo Cana OF
the PsH-Ameriean Sanitary Bureau,
who spoke before members OF the
Park View Women's Club at a
luncheon meeting yesterday at the
home of Mrs. Harvey J. Zimfner-
man,
There Is n rather new craze to
learn English" she explained,
which has developed since the
war. In prewar days French was
the language spoken In addition to
Spanish" she added.
The speaker pointed out that
previous TO the war Chile felt more
closely drawn to Europe, but since
they have been shut of from that
continent they are anxious to learn
TO speak English. realizing that a
knowledge OF the language will give
them deeper understanding of
United States methods and tradi-
tions.
In Chile, Miss Cana said. methods
OF teaching differ somewhat from
those In this country. Training re-
cetved at normal schools is different
also, she added. Teachers must be
prepared to teach In isolated rural
sections, she explained, and are
therefore taught farming, raising
poultry and other subjects helpful
In directing such communities.
The illiteracy In Chile is the
lowest in Latin America, the speaker
added, which averages only about "a
per cent.
Miss Cana was educated In
England and was formerly assistant
director of the Chilean British In
stitute.

president and chairman of the'Ways
