Gilliss at Atacama: DESCRIPTIVE GEOGRAPHY.
Gilliss (1855):
There
may also be enumerated among the public institutions a college for the
education of young men, under the patronage of government. It is under
the direction of French Jesuits, who occupy a convent belonging to the
Merced church. Besides the income of the convent, amounting to $ 1,500,
and a yearly stipend of $1,000 from the public treasury, each resident
student pays them $207 for board. At this time there were 25 interns
and only 11 day scholars. In addition to the duties imposed as an equivalent
for the government subsidy, they are required by their contract with
the Minister of Public Instruction to teach gratuitously a primary school
of 30 scholars, should so many offer. A college for instruction in mineralogy
and mineralogical chemistry is in course of organization, under the
auspices of the Mining Board, and will shortly be in operation. But
the number of those within the province who receive even rudimentary
instruction is extremely limited, the best estimate fixing it at one
in every 59. The whole number attending schools in 1850 was 885, of
whom 725 were males and 160 females.
In a report recently
made, to the Minister of the Interior by the Intendente of the province,
a most deplorable account is given of the ignorance of those surrounding
him. He estimates the population of Atacama at 50,000 souls....
Gilliss
(1855):
Essentially industrial and active as they are, the people
of Copiapó do not need so much a collegiate or scientific education
as practical and rapid instruction for the masses. Here a disposition
to labor predominates, because of its remunerative results ; and few
or none think of a civil or military career as at the capital, because
they possess no attractions to men wholly preoccupied in lucrative speculations
or personal occupations affording the highest pay.
In order to obviate the
odium attendant on a condition of society so uninformed, a normal school
for the preparation of teachers was commenced under the authority of
the Intendente, and also a night school at which mechanics could attend
gratuitously. Both were promising good results, though the provision
for females remained neglected as before, and there were only two establishments
in the whole city where they were admitted.
