material appropriate for school use which will interest, in-
struct and contribute toward mutual understanding of both
the Latin-American and Anglo-American child.
This program material has been incorporated into ten
musical plays, the themes, dances and songs of which have
been gleaned from a great amount of reading material,
stories related by Mexican people, legends told by pioneer
Anglo residents of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and ideas
that have been presented by students. Most valuable material
was secured from the Spanish Music Center of New York City,
the Pan American Union of Washington, D. C., the Library of
Congress of Washington, D. C., the Spanish Consul of San An-
tonio, Texas, and from lectures of and interviews with Miss
Allena Luce, of Puerto Rico and Argentina, whose book,
Canciones Populares, proved quite helpful in the preparation
of this manuscript. Some of the dances used were taught to
the writer by Spanish-speaking girls; others are original.
It is the purpose of the writer to organize , this mate-
rial into plays which may be of service to any teacher who
intends to present a program, in the intermediate grades,
dealing with some phase of Latin and Anglo-American relations.
Chapter I sets forth the problem, purpose and organiza-
tion of this thesis, and a statement of the writer's teaching
position. Chapter II gives an historical survey of Mexico
