Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carranza and Public Instruction in Mexico: Sixty Mexican Teachers Are Commissioned to Study in Boston Education is one of the most serious and difficult problems that exist at present in our country. We recognize that it is education alone which can save our Republic, and it is in the bosom of education where are kept the secrets of our dearest rights of liberty. The solution of the problem of education is in truth the most delicate one of the many that the Revolutionary Government has on its hands. Many old and obsolete methods must be rooted up completely, all prejudice must be destroyed, and all those hidebound rules that chain our liberty in a prison built of iron must be burned. And the purifying waters of a reorganization will cleanse and preserve an institution. This is the motive that prompts the Sub-secretary in charge of the Ministry of Public Instruction to carry out these far-reaching plans in the pursuance of his duties. Senor Carranza has entrusted the reformation and reconstruction of the National Education to the by no means, small group of teachers and professors who followed the First Chief on their apostolic journey. With this end in view numerous commissions and groups have gone forth: 20 teachers to Yucatan, 44 to Puebla, 27 to Queretaro, 4 to Tabasco, 5 to circulate propaganda in General Obregon's army, and 27 who will extend in active propaganda by word of mouth the revolutionary ideas. Commission in the Tabasco Schools The following teachers, Miss Maria Tellez Escalante, Mies Concepcion Chavez Coronel, Miss Tomasa Zuniga, and Prof. Clemente. L. Beltran. Commissioners with the staff of the Army of General Obregon as propagandists: Mr. Julio S. Hernandez, Mr. Matias Lopez, Mr. Alfonso del Castillo, Mr. Jose Carmen Lopez, Mr. Rafael Vera Cordova.
