Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish in a Week In these countries changes in administration and govern mental policies brought about by various in uences have aroused international interest and have been the forerunners of a new era of prosperity. They have blazed the way for rapid strides in industrial and commercial progress which must necessarily follow the Opening of that gigantic engi neering project, the Panama Canal. Commerce will now rediscover Latin America the West Indies, Mexico, and the Philippine Islands. That is not all. In the rush for transatlantic steamship records and consequently for shorter routes to Europe, some company, seeking an exclusive European trade, will awake to the fact that two hundred miles - more than twelve hours of ocean travel - might be saved by establishing a terminus at Vigo, Spain. Great political and industrial changes must be followed by alterations of corresponding moment in other phases of life. American and European civilization is about to be reborn in sister lands. Hence the importance of the medium, through which these in uences must be exerted, can not be overestimated.
