TALK ON MEXICO 
Miss Alice Gleason Speakes Very Interest- 
ingly in Manchester of Her Mission Work 
in Mexico, 
Miss Alice Gleason, former teacher 
in the Story High school, Manches- 
ter, and whose father, the Rev. Geo. 
L. Gleason formerly taught here, has 
been in Manchester this week visiting 
her many friends here. Tuesday 
evening she gave avery interesting 
talk on her work in Mexico, at the 
prayer meeting in the chapel. 
Miss Gleason has been in Guada- 
lajara, Mexico, the past six years, en- 
gaged in teaching a girl’s school under 
the auspices of the American Board 
of Foreign Missions. She is home on 
a few month’s vacation, but returns 
to Mexico next month to resume her 
work. Miss Gleason said in part 
during her informal talk Tuesday 
evening : 
“‘When the name Mexico is men- 
tioned do you think of it in the days of 
ancient civilizations ; or do you think 
of it as the land captured by Cortez; 
or as the land inhabited by the beau- 
tiful Spanish maidens, or where the 
ill-fated Maximilian went; or do you 
think of it in the more recent years of 
civil wars ; or still later do you think 
of it as the land of F. Dias the presi- 
dent,—how he turned the brigands 
into soldiers ? 
“Ordo you think of it as acom- 
mercial land, of its mountains that 
have been worked for 250 years, and 
of its wonderful ranches? Or as a 
land of sunny skies, flowers, perpetual 
‘spring, of lazy people, where life goes 
on day after day without any variety ? 
“Or do you think of it as a mission 
land? I went there nearly six years 
ago little knowing of the mission 
work. Today there are thousands of 
Mexicans in California, Arizona, and 
they are crossing the border every 
day. 
‘‘Many people have said what is the 
use of missionary work in Mexico? 
Don’t they have churches, and are 
they not Christians ?”’ 
The speaker told two stories which 
showed the superstition, ignorance 
and fanaticism of the people of that 
country. 
“The people say they worship Jesus 
Christ. Yes! but it is not our Jesus 
Christ. They always think they must 
do something to placate Him. They 
do seem to lift from the old rut in 
which they have been for centuries. 
The whole thing seems to be a sys- 
tem of ignorance. I believe that 
everybody in the world ought to have 
the privilege to learn to read and 
write. All over Guadalajara you will 
find men who make a business of 
writing letters for those who cannot 
write. ;

“The solution of this problem lies 
in establishing Christian schools and 
it is for this reason that you. will find 
scattered Evangelical schools all over 
the country. Our school was driven 
out of one place because a very fanati- 
cal woman bought the property so as 
to do away with the school. 
“In our school are children from 
four to twenty-one years. Their 
studies are similar to what you take 
here with the exception that two or 
three times a week Bible lessons are 
taken up. Every graduate has gone 
out as an Evangelical teacher thus far. 
One of our girls went 2000 miles and 
not only taught school, but was presi- 
dent of the C.E., superintendent of 
the S.S., and did pastoral work be- 
sides, all for $35 a month. 
“One of my boys walked 2000 miles 
to reach the school, earning his way 
by doing carpenter work. He after- 
wards returned to his home and 
taught and preached. Here it costsa 
girl $600 for a year in college; there 
#40. And yet we have only 11 or 12 
girls enter the school a year because 
of that $40. 
“Don’t you think we owe that duty 
to try to bring some of the joy and 
light of our own lives into the lives 
of those girls there?”
