many years from now, since he de-
sires above everything else to be-
come a competent physician. Thus,
high, school, college and medical
school await him before he may re-

Rodo already has begun to COM
pare social and industrial conditions
in Puerto Rico with those of his new
home. He is quick to remind fellow
Anacostians that his native country
is progressive, for such modern con-
veniences as automobiles, beauty
parlors, buses, trolley cars and
movies around. He admits. how
ever, that Washington, with its
cleaning marble buildings, majestic
monuments and fine brick homes. is
the most beautiful city he has ever
seen. In Puerto Rico, cement and
wood are almost invariably used as
building materials, for stone and
bricks are practically nonexistent.
AS for Puerto Rican homes, Rodo
says they are furnished in a man.
ner very similar to those of his
Anacostia schoolmates. But due te
warm weather, furnaces, stoves ano
other heating devices are unneces-
sary. If you have ever carried large
baskets of coal to the basement OF

understand why Rodo considers
this latter fact an advantage.
