(By Lorenzo Delgado) (Student in the Brevard Institute) (Editor's Note: The following ar ticle was written by a native of the Republic of Cuba, who is a student of the Brevard Institute. It is repro duced here just as it was written and will be found of considerable interest since Cuba is our next door neighbor, though so little is known about this country.) The characteristics that a mission ary possesses should be in harmony with the country to which he is sent. Each country has its own character istics, customs, and traditions. It is difficult to speak, therefore, of one type of missionary. In consequence, before a missionary is sent to a coun try, the mission board should have a thorough knowledge of the customs and practices of that country and also an understanding of the psychol ogy of the people. In order to deter mine, therefore, the type of mis sionary who ought to be sent to Cuba, a study of that country must be made. ORIGIN : I am not going to under take a detailed study of that epoch in which the three caravels, "La San ta Maria," "La Pinta," "La Nina, 55 sailed from the port of "Palos de Moguer" in Andalucy, under the great admiral Christopher Columbus, reaching -what is today the Republic of Cuba. What I want to make clear is the fact that the origin of the Cu ban people is purely Spanish and not Indian. The Indians, because of the proximity of other islands and be cause of their knowledge of the sea, which they had gained from fishing, found it easy to migrate from Cuba when they met with mistreatment. The Cuban people do not have, like others of the American Continent, In dian blood flowing through their, veins; the Cuban people are purely I Spanish origin. \ EFFECTS OF INHERITANCE: I The Cuban people, because of the fact that they are purely of Spanish or iggin, have the heritage of Spain. Just as the religious heritage is evi dent in this country today, just so was Cuba's religious heritage evident in her life. When in their own coun try, a group of Englishmen were pro hibited from practising their own re ligion, a part of that group came to America on that well known vessel, "The Mayflower." The religious seed plfmtea by them, germinated in Amer ica with so much strength that there are today evident, proofs of the ideas brought by them more than three centuries ago. The Spaniards did not go to Cuba because they did not have I freedom to practice the Catholic Re i ligion, but the Catholic Religious | Spirit cf the first men who reached j the island was perpetuated until re cently. ; TITLES OF NOBILITY: The i Spaniards brought to Cuba the fasci I nation of nobility. By means of jour nals the political iife of Spain was kept alive in the colony. Many causes moved to the ideas of liberty, and after two wars against the Mother Country, the first of 10 years, (1868 1878, and the second of three, (1885 1898), came independence and finally the Republic of Cuba. When the Re public was established, all possibili ties for the winning of titles of nobil I ity were disposed of. PROFESSIONAL DEGREES: The idea of winning a title of nobility was substituted by the desire for and ac quisition of academic titles. There were two main reasons for this. First, "The action of inheritance which we have already seen." The Cuban, see ing that he could not be called earl or marquis, wanted to be called doc tor. Second, "The Economic Factor." In as much as there were only a few university graduates many year? ago in the isle, the possession of a profes sional degree was a sure means of acquiring a good position with eco nomic advantages. This justified the series of sacrifices of many families to give to their sons a professional degree. The popular stream toward studies became so intense that the government has t8kon measure to stop it. In fact, the Cuban people, because of the ease that they have had in making a living (as the fertility of the soil makes easy the obtainment of products,) have been careless and indolent, taking measures to check their evils only when these were of general character. Nevertheless, even bearing in mind this condition of the people, intensified in their statesmen by the special conception that they have of the character of their office, the government has taken measures to limit the number of professional degrees, I had interviews with professors and students of the" University, about the excess of professional degrees in the island, before the government limited their number. While the pro fessors argued that the right to study ought to be absolutely free and that afterwards the apt ones would elimi nate those who were not; the stu dents, under the program of studies then in force, expressed that the ex cess of professional degrees would bring about a lowering of the reputa tion of the degrees, and they would rather see. the doors of the Universi ty closed. Spent Over $500 On Hospital Bills Topeka, Kans. ? Mrs. Cora Morey who resides at 21st and Minnesota Sts., Topeka, Kansas, said: "Sargon has done me so much good that I am actually afraid to stop taking it; I feel I should .take at least a few more bottles to bo sure of being en tirely well. I know my husband spent S50O* in the year before I started tak ing Sargon and Sargon Soft Mas? Pills? on hospitals bills elons ? and that does not include doctor bills." LONG'S DRUG STORE Brevard, N. C. I am going to give an illustration that, while it may be an exaggerated statement, will show the cultural av erage in Cuba: I A farmer from one of the interior 'farms of the island, was asked by .another: ? "How many sons do you j have, Paul?" I ? 'I have four' answered the first ? 'The oldest is a doctor; the second is a lawyer, the third* is a dentist, and the fourth the fourth I could noit send ?o the University, because there are so many years re quired for a degree, but I made him a school teacher." "Well, what do you do, Paul?" ? "I am still farming and support ing these four sons, because they can not make their living." The fact, I repeat, is the popular stream toward the conquest of academic degrees, has raised the intellectual level of the country. ACTIQN OF THE TROPICS: The effects of the tropical climate may be observed not only in the agricul tural aspect by the facility of the cul tivation and by the exhuberant veg etation, but also in ita influence upon the characteristics of the Cuban. This tropica! climate tends to make him merry, careless, and indolent, bccause he trusts in the natural resources, which are easily obtainable; it acts on his temperament making him pas sionate, and upon his intellect by quickening it. This iast effect of the tropical climate is not stated as a result of my own observation, but it has been taken from sociolologists of well known ability. ACTION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH: The Cuban had, many years ago, a Church, "The Catholic," but the questionable conduct of her ministers caused the Cuban to leave" that church, his only one in that coun try. The majority of people loathe the exploitation by the ministers to a greater extent than they do the in difference of the minist(|'s. Now the majority of peopl^are without relig ion, and they do n/c like to hear about it. (Continued Next Week) Rosman Elementary School Newt SEVENTH GRADE LfKES STU DENT GOVERNMENT.

THE ECLIPSE OF THE SUN. Yesterday afternoon the eyes of millions of people were turned to ward the sky to gaze at the eclipse of the sun.
