Suggestions

Education The first school was founded in 1900, its first teacher was Don Filadelfo López Morales.

A boys' school was founded in 1900, by teacher Donaldo Sabillon Vásquez.

The girls' school was founded between 1905 and 1912; its first teacher was Elvia Julia Morales.

Another boys' school was founded in 1930 under the direction of Leandro Rodríguez.

The Miguel Paz Barahona girls school was founded December 24, 1937 at the same time as the inauguration of a municipal water system. The mayor of San Pedro Sula at this time, Don José Castro López, appointed Doña Laura Vda. de Alcocer as the director. And in (from?) 1920 he and Don Donaldo alternated the position, with a monthly salary of Lps. 90.

• Why do you think "con dos grados alternados" means they alternated the position? (Not a rhetorical question: I've just never seen that expression used with that meaning.) -- Jmabel | Talk 20:35, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)

At that time, sixth grade was offered only in the more advanced villages, with children in others only going to the fifth grade. The age of matriculation ranged between 7 and 18 years. The teachers were very strict disciplinarians: if a student failed to show up for school, a teacher's assistant would seek the student out and bring him or her back to school, to be punished there by the teacher; and punished again by his or her parents upon arriving back home. The students received 8 hours of lessons daily. Teaching materials for students included a notebook made of sewn office paper, ink made with blue aniline. Pencils were of made candle wax, the satchels were made of cloth or nylon.

• Other than that, this seems almost verbatim from what the article already says, why didn't you just make these few small edits in the article? -- Jmabel | Talk 20:35, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)

No, that wasn't a criticism, i'm just trying to understand: do you have some basis for that understanding of the one problematic phrase (e.g. are you a native Spanish speaker, or is this phrase familiar to you?) or was that a guess? -- Jmabel | Talk 22:08, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)

Is there something good about Cofradia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Abyab (talk • contribs) 31 March 2006.

They have the largest skating rink in Honduras. INAUGURAN LA PISTA DE PATINAJE MÁS GRAN DE HONDURAS EN COFRADÍA, CORTÉS. That's cool. --Catrachos (talk) 20:53, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Spanish language link (under Languages) not correct

Placed in the wrong group of language links. They do not refer to the Honduras Cortés department place name that is documented by this article. The language links refer to a religious notion, Cofradía,

como término general universal, designa diferentes tipos de cosas, como hermandad, gremio, compañía, unión o reunión de individuos.

It appears now that the Spanish version links to Confraternity. I couldn't find any equivalent article in the Spanish Wikipeda for this one (village of Cofradía in Cortés).--Catrachos (talk) 20:48, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

2001 Demographics appear out of date

As of March 2017 the inhabitants were trying to convert the village classification to the 299th municipality Honduras and 13th of Cortés (Quieren convertir a Cofradía en el municipio 13 de Cortés):

Esa situación ha llevado a un grupo de pobladores a continuar con un proyecto que estaba engavetado y es el de convertir a la Villa de Cofradía en el municipio 299 de Honduras. Conformaron un comité pro municipio de Cofradía que ha iniciado una serie de actividades para llamar la atención de la realidad de la Villa y la necesidad de ser el municipio 299 de Honduras y el 13 del departamento de Cortés.'

The article summarizes data as of that date:

En la parte baja o urbana del sector hay 64 colonias con una población de 195,000 habitantes sin contar con la población rural en la parte del El Meredon, que corresponde a Cofradía y que tiene más de 62 aldeas y caseríos. No hay datos del número de habitantes en este sector.
