Excerpt from Educational Conditions in Spain
The Spanish Government, awoke to, its Opportunities, as was evidenced in many Official acts. With the approaching expiration of the charter of the Bank of Spain, the minister of finance appointed a commission to draft a new bill for the Cortes, setting forth a com prehensive and far-reaching program, and calling for the purchase and Operation of railroads by the state, and the development and' utilization Of all natural resources and waterpower. The minister of public works outlined unprecedentedly bold steps for a complete economic reconstruction of the Kingdom, involving a greatly en larged sphere of activity and intervention by the state, based on an intensified economic survey of all national resources. The Associa tion of Spanish Civil Engineers was granted by the Government the privilege of convening a congress in Madrid in the spring of 1919 for the purpose of discussing numerous phases of national development to which this profession can contribute. Among these are elementary and higher technical instruction, the organization of labor, sanitation and hygiene, and social questions relating thereto.
