Students to
As the Chilean climate
is ratherI
temperate we do not wear raccoon
coats. Therefore, we have no colleges.{
However, we have students, who at-
tend the secondary schools and the
University. The licea or secondary
school is a six year condensation of
the American High School and Col-
lege, with the virtues of these and
none of their defects, but with many
defects of their own. The University
is the ensemble of the professional
schools, the ateneum, the aula, the
laboratory. Six years seem enough to
learn the humanities, acquire the
habit of smoking and deserving a
Bachelor's degree, if we bear in mind
that the State (practically all of our
education is furnished gratuitously by
the State, that is, by ourselves) does
not bother to teach us the subleties of
advertising nor the intricacies of
hore-back riding.
