Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Through Santo Domingo and Haiti: A Cruise With the Marines At the Annual Meeting of the Committee on Co-operation in Latin America, January 13, 1919, the Executive Secretary was authorized to make a survey of religious, social and educational conditions in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The report presented herewith is a brief digest of the information gathered on this trip, presented partly in the form of a brief account of the trip itself, together with recommendations for the development of an educational, social and spiritual program that will be a real help to these two needy countries. Much material gleaned from the few available recent authoritative sources on Haiti and Santo Domingo, of which Schoenrich´s "Santo Domingo, A Country with a Future," is easily first, is included in the following chapters. Some of the best of this quoted matter is now out of print. The writer can scarcely assume authority or claim credit for all of this information, though careful effort has been made to insure its reasonable accuracy. There is need for a real handbook on the Island, and it is the meeting, in part at least, of this demand, rather than the production of a work that should conform to all the canons of literary usage that has been the raison d´être of this booklet. For other defects, no further apology is offered than the necessary haste of preparation. A visit to Santo Domingo and Haiti probably carries with it more surprises for the average American than a trip to any other neighboring countries. After only five days on a slow boat from New York one finds himself in the midst of conditions which continually remind him, on one hand, of the heart of Africa, and on the other of the neglect and arrested development arising from Spain´s abuse of the oldest of her American colonies. The problem that the United States is facing in practically taking over the island is an enormous one. Its seriousness is probably recognized by very few indeed.
