Jesús de Santa Bárbara

 * ... that despite its small population, the Costa Rican town of Jesús de Santa Bárbara (ecclesiastical statue pictured) had separate schools for boys and girls as early as 1885?

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, just noticed your hook. One school for both boys and girls seems logical for a small town. Do you mean two schools, one for boys and one for girls? Yoninah (talk) 23:39, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I sure did! Thanks, Yoninah! I revised the hook. Mvblair (talk) 19:05, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough, well referenced. Most hooks are foreign-language, but the English ones show no close paraphrasing. Article seems neutrally written in general. Hook ref AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. Image is pd. A nice job on a neighborhood article. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:01, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hook reworded in pursuit of brevity. Edwardx (talk) 09:19, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg What's the connection between the hook and the picture? Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:09, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I noted the image in the hook and tweaked the hook. IMO the hook can run without the image. Yoninah (talk) 23:07, 17 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks again, Yoninah. It can clearly run without the image. Hawkeye7, those statues are just simple community symbols. In a parade, for example, rather than having the town school's drum corps march with a municipal flag, they would march with their ecclesiastical statue in front. When dignitaries come or festivals are held, it might be put in a prominent place in town. It's just a local representation of the community. Mvblair (talk) 23:49, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
