Indifference to Education 



Miss Abbie F. Phillips of Pittsburg, Pa., 

 was recently reappointed instructor in En- 

 glish in Cuba for a term of years. In 

 speaking of educational conditions in Culia, 

 she says in the Philadelphia (Pa.) Bulle- 

 tin : 



"Few Americans have any conception of 

 the indifference to education manifested by 

 the majority of Cubans. A position as 

 teacher there is looked upon by the political 

 powers as that of a policeman or City Hall 

 guard is in Philadelphia. They are given 

 as political favors to the most ignorant and 

 inefficient men, many of whom have abso- 

 lutely no qualifications for the work. In 

 Plavana any man who can read and write 

 and has the necessary political pull can se- 

 cure a position as teacher. 



"There is no race feeling" in the Cuban 

 schools. White and black are pupils in the 

 same classes, and I have discovered no an- 

 tipathy to the latter. Neither is the church 

 question bothersome."
