BOLIVIA

LAND OF CONTRASTS

MISS M. SEAL'S VIEWS A land of sharp contrasts, a land wherein the highest culture is found side by side with savagery, where the high educational standards of the few accentuate the pitiable ignorance and superstition of the many—such is Bolivia, as described by Miss Marion Neal a New Zealander, who has devoted five years to the service of the poor and unenlightened in that distant part of South America. Miss Neal, who is visiting Christchurch for the conference of the Nurses' Christian Union, is one of 14 New Zealandcrs who are member of the Bolivian Indian Mission, founded by Mr George Allan, of Dunedin. They are all engaged in evangelistic, medical. and educational work amongst the Indians, and included in their number is Mr William Searle, formerly of Christchurch. Trained In New Zealand

Miss Neal is a graduate of the Auckland University. After taking the degree of Bachelor of Arts, she taught for a time in the Auckland Grammar School. Relinquishing teaching, she entered the Wellington Hospital for training, and shortly after qualifying as a nurse, more than five years ago, she left for Central Bolivia. She has been engaged in a clinic in Aiguille, and she finds that her medical work is a great help in bringing her into touch with the people, who are more ready to accept her evangelistic teaching after they have been healed in body by her nursing skill. Most of the inhabitants of the Bolivian Republic. Miss Neal says, live ai an altitude of from 7000 to 14,000 feet above sea level, two-fifths of the area of the country being highlands. The lowlands are sparsely peopled with savages—children of the forest. The upper class, the descendants of the Spanish conquerors, make up only about 7 per cent, of the population.They own most of the land and enjoy all the privileges of modern civilisation. In the live principal cities, schools, colleges, training colleges for teachers, schools of mines, and similar educational institutions are nourishing. La Paz, the seat of Government, stands 12,000 feet above sea-level, and has a ppoulation of 100,000. There the president of the republic has his residence. Some years at;o, in 1025, Bolivia celebrated the centenary of the founding of the republic, when the country definitely threw off Spanish rule. In the provinces are to be found many cholos or half-breeds, who are now showing a desire for education. Schools for the children of the cholos have been established and are well attended.

But purebred Indians, descendants of the Incas of Bolivia and Peru form fully 60 or 70 per cent, of the population. and they live, more or less, as slaves. Wi'h primitive implements, they til! patches on the hillsides or drive ploughs drawn by oxen, in the valleys where they cultivate maize, wheat, and potatoes. They are intensely superstitious and have little or no knowledge of hygiene or of the rules of health. To them, the witch doctor is a very important person, for he combats disease, which.they think, is largely due to the elements. To cope with pathetic ignorance, with unhygienic conditions, with deeply rooted superstitions—this is the task that the medical missionaries have set themselves and they are meet in;l with much success. Through their ministrations, they gain the confidence of the Indians, who are readily responding to the teaching of the Gospel. Land of To-morrow National feasts, religious feasts, feasts! of all kinds, are very popular with : !ie . Indians. In fact, there is not a phase I of existence that is not identified with 1 feasting. The .sowings of the crops. ! births, deaths, weddings, the reaping; of the crop.-;, the completion of a new : house--all these are occasions for, feasting. And these are no ordinary j feasts. They last sometimes for eight i days, when work is forgotten. No | one minds. Work can be done another j time. Bolivia is, indeed, the land of ] Manana —the land of to-morrow. Itccent I'roßrcss During the last 10 years. Miss Neal says, Bolivia has progressed rapidly. The railways are managed by a British company, though a large pcrct.n'- I age of Ihe employees are Bolivian''. A' j Potosi are silver mines, which have; been worked since the sixteenth ceii-j tury. and arc still the richest in Mv world, and before the years of depression. one-quarter of the world's supply of tin came from Bolivia. The climate is tropical with a sharply definite rainy season lasting from September till 'he end of March. No rain at all falls from April to September. New Zealanders find Ihe climate trying, chiefly because of the rarefied atmosphere. Miss Neal's health has suffered considerably, but she holies, after a holiday,' to return to this land of extremes, where the residents may travel by ox-cart or by aeroplane as fancy directs. IVmS DALE COLLINS j DEATH FOLLOWS OVERDOSE OF A niiuc. (FR')M oca liw* CORIIKSF'ONUKN'I.) LONDON, January 2. Mrs Dale Collins, the wife of a wellknown Australian author, died at St. Aubins. Jersey, frorn/i drug she had been taking as a sedative. At the inquest a verdict was returned that death was due to pulmonary congestion, probably caused by an overdose of tablets for piomoting sleep. Mr Collins said that his wife, who was 35 years of age, had lately com"'' plained of lack of sleep. While in London a doctor prescribed some sedative tablets, and they bought two lots. After that she improved greatly. He had no idea that the tablets might be dangerous. She became ill and dazed after taking some of the tablets, and he called a doctor. He had no idea how manv tablets she had taken. Dr. James Stuart Nicholson, of Jersey, said the ordinary dose was from a "half to (wo tablets, but he had no means of ascertaining how many his patient had used. Thirty tablets had been purchased and he could find onlyfive remaining. He concluded it was unlikely that his patient had taken a; 7 many as 20. Dr. Nicholson described how lie revived Mrs Collins' b'reathing by artificial respiration. She became il! on the Thursday and died on the Sunday. Three years ago. in search of adventure. Mr and Mrs Collins set out from the Mersey in the cargo vessel City of Delhi, he as a member of the crew and she as stewardess. By Ihe time they arrived back in England fitter If? months they had covered about 100,000 miles. Three times during their voyage round the world they were "paid off," but on each occasion they signed on again in the same boat. Although Mr and Mrs Collins were both Australians they first met in London, when Mr Collins came to Fleet street as a journalist. At that time Mrs Collins had not been home for sojne years, and so they decided to make the trip. Their nominal pay in the Citv of Delhi was one shilling a month, "but they did no ship's work.
