Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggested Next Steps in Latin America As I boarded the Pan American plane at Miami on April 17, 1942 for a four months' trip to the countries of South and Central America, this question was dominant in my mind: What next step is most important in each country of Latin America in order to bring about an advance in Christian education? Clearly, it would not be possible to solve all the problems of the Evangelical forces by a single sweep of a wand of mighty magic; but a significant forward move might result if just the right service could be rendered at those points from which its influence would radiate most effectively to the whole constituency. The trip took me to all the countries of South America except the Guianas, to all countries of Central America except British Honduras, and to Jamaica and Mexico. Previously I had visited Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The outline map across the page shows the routes of these journeys. The first was by boat and train, the second by boat and plane, and the third entirely by plane except for a few side-trips. This pamphlet contains informal accounts of the visits, of impressions received, and of suggested next steps. No effort has been made to describe all that I saw and heard in any country. It is intended to be neither comprehensive in scope nor exhaustive in detail; rather it is illustrative and introductory. When one is introducing a friend to a group of friends, he does not tell everything about each, but gives the name and some interesting item of information which will invite further acquaintance, and it is no reflection upon the others if he happens to say more about one than he does about the rest. I like my new friends in Latin America and wish others everywhere to meet them and to gain a sense of abiding fellowship with them in their work. I hope that the suggested next steps will prove worthy and will receive careful consideration by those who can help to make them possible.
