"SCHOOLGIRL" FROM THE AMAZON DISTRICT |
THE CHEERLESS HOMESTEAD OF THE ANDINE INDIAN |
|
| This is no painted Indian "belle," but rather a somewhat timid type of "flapper." She has adopted European clothes with town life, but cannot renounce the brightly-coloured beads and quaint ear-charms of her tribe | Witnessing in Bolivia today the miserable domestic conditions of the Indians, one of whose best houses of hardened mud and straw is here illustrated, one may be permitted to question whether the Inca civilization which must have offered immensely better conditions of life than these Indians enjoy to-day, was not of greater value to the world than that which has replaced it |
