Education in Chile. Bulletin, 1945, No. 10
Ebaugh, Cameron D.

Chile is a republic 2,630 miles long, extending along the western coast of South America from Peru to the southernmost tip of the continent. In width it averages about 110 miles, with snow-capped, volcano-studded Andes in the East, a low coastal range along the Pacific and a string of valleys and plains in between. It is estimated that 5,000 large-scale owners still control about 90 percent of the agricultural land and that 50,000 small-holders control the remaining 10 percent. Chile's colonial history is one of almost continual warfare against the fierce and indomitable Araucanians who fought to prevent the seizure of their land and the exploitation of their manpower by the Spanish colonists. This bulletin is based on data gathered by the author in Chile in 1944 and supplemented through documentation. Contents of this bulletin include: (1) Chile as a Nation Today; (2) Evolution of Education in Chile; (3) Elementary Education; (4) The Chilean Teacher; (5) Secondary Education; (6) Vocational Education; (7) Higher Education; and (8) Other Institutions of Higher Education. A bibliography is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.]
