Indian Is a dead Indian. The Yakima

One Of the most important duties in In
dian civilization is that of education. Are
the army officers fitted for that? The
answer may be suggested In the fact that,
though Congress fully twelve years ago au-
thori1od and commanded the establish
ment of post schools, so that soldiers might
be better educated, nothing was done until
n lew months ago ia carry this law into
effect II so little effort was made for the
education OF the men Of their own COM
mands, army officers could hardly be looked
to for the patient education Of tho despised
red man nor are either the training or the
tastes Of army officers such rs 20 give them

agriculture, on which, nevertheless, his
hopes OF one. day becoming self-sustaining
largely rest.

make him hopeful Of either; and ii his gem

How far Is a Government, based on uni

The result was a defeat for the doctrine Of
