low spoke the truth, and we agree with him. Let’s take it this way: an Australian may not be a bushman; a native of South Africa is not always one of hegroid blood. All ri^ht then, saying we are Americans doesn’t mean we are" not of Mexican descent! Even the Americans of other descents know this.
So, next time anyone asks you what you are, say, "I'fe an American.** If he questions further, say, "I »m an American of Mexican descent."
Recently, Dr. Sandoval called our attention to Dr.Arturo Tronosco, a former professor at Columbia University and the author of one of the foremost treatises on diseases of the eye and their treatment. Dr. Tronosco is now head of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the University of Mexico. Not so bad for one of Mexican descent.'
Let’s discard at once and for all that outworn saying, "A Mexican hasn’t a chance." It’s up to us to show other people that our brains are just as good, our bodies just as strong as the best! All we need do is to develop and train-them. And only WE can do it! Let’s start NOW, not twenty years hence!
