Students of the Modern School “Second Division” and “clase infantil.” They are divided into “those who have advanced in their studies,” those “who apply themselves” and those who “do not apply themselves so much.” Boletín de la Escuela Moderna, June 30, 1903. FFG.

(Boy)—Parasites—Certain animal or plant organisms called parasites live at the expense of others and expend no effort to live. There are also parasites in human society. There is the worker who is fed upon by the rich people and the priests until they are completely exhausted.

(Boy)—The Running of the Bulls—I don’t understand how there are people who get excited and enjoy themselves watching animals suffer. This diversion continues because of ignorance; if everyone were given proper education, as we are given, it would not exist.

(Boy)—Politicians—In all countries, in our epoch, there are many politicians who promise to help the people if they are elected, and the people, in their ignorance, vote, as one can see in Barcelona, and once the deputy wins things continue as always, sometimes worse. But the people are very ignorant since they always appoint deputies, and so society does not change. If the people had more knowledge they would say: we do not want to be governed by anyone, we can govern ourselves.
