REGARD OF PERUVIANS
INSPIRES AMERICAN
(The following; letter was received
last week by the Glacier from Harry
L Cash, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Cash, who is now a DMOlber of an edu
cation commission to Peru, called there
to reconstruct the public schools sys
tem. Mr. Cash, whose ! 'tier was
written July 4tti, is stationed at
Cajamarca, Peru.)
For some time I have been intending
to take advantage ot your kind invita
tion to write after having reached
I'eru. Hut as in all countries one
doesn't always do the things he in
lends. However, i reel inai i nave a
real occasion to write this evening
since the events of the day have made
me especially triad that 1 am an Amer
ican and that as a nation we hold such
a high place in the regard of I'eru
For the first time in my life I have
spent a Fourth from under the Ameri
can Flag and away from all other
Americans. It is true thut the Fourths
spent in the Philippines were very
different from those at home but still
they were holidays and the Flag was
in sight.
As it happened the other two Amer
icans, who make up the part of the
American Educational Mission assigned
to the Northern Region of I'eru, are
away at this time. One naving left
last week for another station, fifteen
days horseback ride from here, while
the Regional DirctUr as called to
Lima for a conference a few days ago.
The prospect of being alone and put
ting in nine hours in the ciaai room,
on the athletic field, and in the office.
on this day didn't appeal particularly
strong. However, the latter part of
last week 1 heard what sounded very
much like the Star Spangled Banner
being practiced in. the Colegio and yes
terday received notice that there would
be an assembly in the Colegio this
morning In honor of Our I lay.
The military in school life is empha
sized here in the colleges and as the
faculty marched in the hoys all stood
at attention. At the front of the hall
stood the American and Peruvian Flas
in the place of honor while grouped
around the walls were the tlags of all
the South American Republics. A
group of students sang one stanza of
the Star Spangled Banner and while
their pronunciation of the English
words was barely understandable and
the music rather off, yet we have all
heard many English speaking singers
whose words were unintelligible and
the average American audience doesn't
do itself very proud when it comes to
singing our national song.
Several speeches followed. The first
by the Director of the Colegio in
which he gave an excellent review of
our history and paid tribute to our
great men. Of course this was all in
Spanish and given by Peruvians. Not
to be outdone by them, having attended
some of their programs and knowing
about what to expect, 1 had written a
a short reply of thanks and apprecia
tion and the chief clerk of our office
gave it for me in Spanish for although
1 can now understand must of what 1
hear vet 1 haven't reached a point, nor
do 1 expect to for some time, where 1
will attempt to orate in their tongue.
In closing, several Vivas were
given tor the u. b. A. CO which 1 re
plied by leading them in similar
Vivas for I'eru. then the faculty
adjourned to the Directors' quarters
where toasts were given in our honor.
As it was almost noon, the director de
nied to declare a holidav for the re
mainder of the session.
I went to the Regional office where
the office force had eats ready and
later 1 took tea at the home of a fam
ily who are very pro-American. One
of the men who spent a year at Cornell
took a great liking to things American
and seems to have communicated the
spirit to the entire famliy. In addition
1 received greetings on every hai.d in
honor of the day. So take it all in all
it has been a great day and goes to
show that the spirit of friendliness
down here towards Americans is gen
eral and real.
Now that 1 have that off my chest,
1 will try to give you an idea of what
we are attempting down here and
something of my impressions of the
country. You will remember that in
leaving Hood River 1 had very little
idea of the exact nature of our work
except that the Peruvian government
had passed a reorganization act and
that we were coming down here to
help put it across.
The Mission, as it is called down
here, consists of 21 men from various
parts of the States who with one or
two exceptions have had a varied ex
perience in educational work. At least
a dozen having seen service in the
Philippines, some in high positions.
The organization consists of a di
rector general, directors of courses Hnd
examinations, libraries and museums,
tudent center, industries, superior
school of pedagogy, superior school of
commerce, all ot whom are in Lima.
Three regional directors, north, center
and eolith, and the remainder of us
who are scattered over the countries in
the various Colegios, of which there
is one in each department. The Co
legios have a Rtanding in the commun
ity of our colleges but academically
they are hardly up to our high schools.
We arrived in Lima February 21
after an interesting week in New York
and the trip through the Canal. There
is much of interest in Lima. Built by
I'izarra. thtf Spanish conqueror, there
are still many reminders of Spanish
days. The language, customs, and
much of the architecture- oh yes. the
food, decidedly the food are Spanish
with, of course, the mixture resulting
from the contact with the Incas. The
University of San Marcos is the oldest
in the western hemisphere and the
cathedral which contains the body of
t'izarra is well worth seeing. There is
much of the modern in the shops,
dress, expensive cars, bathing beaches
and suchlike.
Transportation in I'eru ia very diffi
cult. Those of us mming to the
Northern Region were unable to get
away until the Hth of April. We
came north two days by boat ; then one
day inland by train (a train to which
the passenger service of the Mt Hood
Company at its worst muld not com
pare apologies to the company) and
then two days over the mountains by
horse to Cajamarca. With the excep
tion of a very few near . Lima, the
country has no roads, only a few abort
railroads and in some places the horse
trails are not extra good. In reaching
our destination we crosfea the coat-t
range of the Andes at an elevation of
about n,NiOfeet and came into this
valley which is almost '.U00.
Cajamarca, a town of about 20.000,
mostly Indiana, is situated in a little
valley entirely surrounded by moun
tains. The buildings are all adobe.
the streets paved with rough ftones i
down the renter of which run open
drains. The Indiana re Bible ours j
somewhat, though the seem entirely
without benefit ot water. It is always
cool here so they don't feel the need of
a bath for comfort and unless for com
fort, what's the use?
Upon our arrival we established the
Regional Office which handles all
school matters for all that part of Peru
north of the province of Lima. Con
sidering the means of .travel, it is a
vast territory. For example to reach
lquitos on the Amazon it takes at least
a month from any point on the coast.
In fact the easiest way is to take a
ship to the Canal Zone, then another
down the Atlantic coast of South
America and up the Amazon.
1 put in considerable time at the
office helping the director, although
my assignment is to .the Colegio Na
tional de San Ramon. While I am
learning Spanish, in order to introduce
some of the new courses that are being
prepared, I am teaching English and
introducing athletics. They have had
little of the play spirit and I feel that
I have already done something toward
arousing the play spirit which we con
siiler so much a part of school life. So
far I have only attempted group games
as 1 wish to get as many as possible
interested. At present 1 am busy pre
paring an afternoon of athletics for
the centennary of their independence
which is to be celebrated this month.
There is much to do here toward the
betterment of school conditions but
naturally we are venturing very slowly
until we know the ground well.
Aside from our work there is little
In the wav of diversion. There is
nothing of social life except to call
the people have been very kind to us
and we have been made welcome in a
number of homes. As far as we know
we are the first Americans to be in
Cajamarca for any length of time and
since we have been fortunate enough
to make a fair imnraasion. there is
quite a vogue for English and things
U. S. A. We have several private
classes in English which help to pass
the time and also gives an opportunity
to become better acquainted with the
people.
I he air at this altitude is very invig
orating. The months we have passei
here have been very agreeable al
though iiuite cool. We notice it in the
evenings as they have no way ot heat
ing their houses. e fear it will be
rather disagreeable during the live or
six months of the rainy season.
Here 1 ve rambled on at a great rate
but talking by way of the typewriter
is about the only chance one has at
English.
With best wishes to you and mv
other Hood River friends, 1 am.
Sincerely,
