Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain and Her People Unfortunately, Spain is not a modern country; her glory is in the past, and she lives and prides herself in her past traditions, as though her glory and her future were not before her. She clings to the past, and rejects the methods that would secure progress and intelligence, and hence it is difficult to forecast the future of Spain. With her seventy per cent. Of illiterates, the lack of individual enterprise and pa triotism among her people, the need of cohesion among the different provinces, and the constant friction from various quarters; together with the prevailing poverty and a depleted treasury, we con fess that the outlook is not promising.
