Instrucción pública

Abstract

The image contains news about the appointment of Mr. Wallace, as visitor to the schools of Bogotá, by the Directorate of Public Instruction of the State of Cundinamarca. Mr. Wallace is a minister of the Presbyterian sect. According to the author of the news, this appointment is "aggressive, insulting and impolitic." He says that the appointment is aggressive, because a minister from a different current to the Catholic Church was chosen, considering it as an attack. The appointment is insulting because a foreigner was preferred, who "does not know the Spanish language well," and who does not have sufficient merits for his appointment, except for having opened "a propaganda school." And the article says that this appointment is impolitical due to an event that occurred shortly before, with Mr. Agustín Novoa. There are no further details about this particular fact in the article.
