Years later, at the conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan, he mentioned the way in which the "Mutual Knowledge of American Peoples" can be built in schools; at the conference in Panama, he mentioned the issue of Illiteracy; at the Mexico conference, the topic "The Freedom of Teaching", paper that was approved and recommended by the teachers of Cuernavaca to the Secretary of Education of Mexico, Ezequiel Padilla Peñaloza.[1]
