Buenos Aires is a city of fine buildings, and beautiful streets. The city has little natural beauty. That is, it is built on level land, and its harbor and its surroundings are not picturesque. But it more than makes up for these by the grandeur of the city itself. When the city wishes to beautify a section it does it without counting the cost. Not long ago a whole city blocks of business houses was torn down to make another park that was needed. It now has 72 parks. It is a very large city. New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia are the only American cities that are larger. It is the eleventh city in size in the world. It holds 1,500,000 people, almost one-fifth of the entire population. The government buildings are grouped in one section of Buenos Aires. They are on a magnificent boulevard broken by plazas. The President of Argentina has a palace among the build-

ings. The government of Argentina is coped after that of the United States. There is a President and his cabinet and congress. The country is divided into states and territories just as our own is.
