"Uruguay... the Purple Land" is the 23rd section of Volume 7 of Lands and Peoples: The World in Color published by Grolier (copyrighted first in 1966 by the Grolier Society and Grolier of Canada, Limited). This volume had three parts: Latin America, General Articles and Index.
liwaliw Pages this month features the seventh volume or seventh of a series from some of the multi-volume or series titles in my personal library. The word September is derived from the Latin septem, which means "seven," because it used to be the seventh month of the ancient ten-month Roman calendar.
The photo (above) contains a detail of a monument, a famous landmark in Uruguay's capital city Montevideo. Caption reads: "THE TEACHER and children are a figure group that is part of the monument to the Uruguayan patriot and leader Jose Pedro Varela, in Montevideo. [...] Varela is well known for his advocacy in 1877 of a free, democratic system of public schools."
In the Philippines, National Teachers Month is celebrated from 05 September to 05 October per Proclamation No. 242 by then President Benigno S. Aquino III.
