EDUCATING THE YOUNG IN
DIANS.

/ O'Clock and returned aoout o.
large number of ladies accompanied the
party, which numbered about three
hundred. Captain Pratt. the Superin-
tepdept of the School, met the cumpa-
nv at the depot and escorted the guests
to the grounds. A brass band, COM
posed Of Indian boys. led by one OF the
Coleman sisters, played upon the lawn
while the visitors inspected the schools
and workshops. There are 2s5 Indian
children now there, SO of whom are
girls. Twenty three tribes are repre-
sented. The methods of education,
control and industrial management
we're thoroughly inspected. The pro-
fciency of the children in study gener-
ally is very encouraging and in writing
remarkable. Hardly a child in the
school but can write intelligibly, even
when they cannot pronounce the words
thew write. Mechanical as well as
agricultural pursulrs are taught tne
bows and intelligently combined with
study The girls are taught household
duties as well as educated in books.
The tailor shop where all the boys
clothing. as we'll as the shoe shop
where their shoes are made, We're
points carefully inspected by the iegis-
lators. as were the harness, tin and car
penter shops where the Indian boys
are taught these trades. Captain Pratt
drilled a company of the scholars to
show their military training, and the
bows gave the visitors some line speci-
mems of their Workmanship with the
bow and arrow, part of the exercises
which was as agreeable as any other
to the visitors and more so to the
school. The boys were all dressed In
military uniforms, and developed a
great deal of careful training. After
two hours and more of careful inspec-
ton of the system prevailing at the
school, the visitors left for home i'm
pressed with the conviction that 1t was
q great institution doing q great work
for the young Indians.
BREAD-MAKrNG AND PHILOSOPHY
We quote an extra letter written by
President Gar6eld's wife to her hus-

dentally fell into President Hinsdale's
hands. Mrs. G.. wrote: i am glad to
tell that, out of all the toll and disap-
pointments of the summer just ended, |

protect the toe.
