This number has been gradually increased until in 1917 it was 104. These teachers work in sparsely populated districts, their duties are somewhat limited, and they earn an extra salary. In September of the present year a new type of traveling school will be in operation. The equipment will consist of two railway care--one used as living quarters for the teacher and the other as a classroom. Its activities will be confined to the sugar centrals. The question is not now to bring the child to the school, but rather to take the school to the child. This is another proof of the great activity of the Cuban Government in fighting illiteracy. The urban primary school has a course covering a period of eight years, six of which are devoted to elementary instruction and two to higher elementary instruction. The next higher grade is secondary or normal instruction. During the fiscal year 1916-17 there were in the Republic 4, 680 primary schools with 4, 687 classes, 5, 258 teachers, 303, 287 matriculates, not including 6, 825 students registered in the traveling schools. The school budget for the year mentioned amounted to 8, 000, 000. Secondary instruction is given in the six provincial institutes and in the private colleges connected therewith. These institutes were established during the colonial regime. In 1900, under order 267 the present organization became operative in accordance with the plan of Dr. Enrique Varona, a celebrated educator.

Entrance to the secondary instruction grade is by examination, after passing the superior primary grade, a minimum. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub.com<
