Olhinto María Simoes (1901–1966) was a Uruguayan poet, journalist and cultural worker. He was born in Rivera on June 5, 1901 and died on October 9, 1966. ==Career== María Simoes worked in the press from his youth, first as a printer and later as a journalist both in the local and national media. In 1922, at age 21, he founded the newspaper ''La Cachiporra''. Fundamentally he was a tireless worker for cultural activities in the belief that the culture of a people is not something that should only be transmitted, but something that is made and remade every day through creativity. He believed that strengthening the culture is the way to participate in the development of peoples. In 1930 his ''Canto a la ciudad de Rivera'' (Song to the city of Rivera) took first prize in the competition organized by the Departmental Council of the Municipal Government, being later declared Hymn of the City. As it relates to educational activities María Simoes participated on several school building committees, he was also founder and secretary for 13 years of the Association of Parents of High School Students. He also worked so that Rivera would have its own Normal Institute (Institute for teacher training). He supported the work of the Rivera French Alliance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olhinto María Simoes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
