I know that that will be denied by the men whom we have sent there and who are drawing salaries to the extent of more than half a million dollars annually out of the Haitian funds wrung from the toiling masses of that country. The general condition is one of poverty. Thousands of Haitian laborers have emigrated to Cuba and Santo Domingo in order to obtain employment. thereby reducing agriculture in Haiti to a condition of decay and disorganization. But little if any progress Is being made In education. The secondary schools have been closed in a number of towns. and the students there who have completed their primary education are unable to continue their studies unless their families possess sufficient means to send them away from home to attend the more advanced schools.
