A strong sentiment demands the edu-
cation of the Indians Men of the high
type of General Armstrong, of Hamp-
ton, and United States Commissioner of
Education Eaton give their best efforts
to it. The addresses on the subject OF
Indian education before the convention
of teachers now sitting at Madison are
listened 10 with evident interest. This
sentiment is strongest among those who'
like the devotees of the cause OF the no.
BILE red men in Boston, have never seen
an Indian and have only literary ac-
auaintance with him, but that is moth
ing. All sentiments act in this way.
1t was not the men who were near the
negro who placed his emancipation even
above the preservation of the Union.
Needy people, like prophets, almost
always fail to receive due consideration
in their own neighborhood
But there are good many kinds Of
education the Indians need quite as much
as .'book larnin. " If our duty to edu-
cate the Indians means that me must
accept them as our wards and teach
them to make the best progressive use
of their faculties there would be few to
deny SO palpable truth But If 1t
means that to have educated Indians
we must have collegiate Indians we de-
muir. 1t is by no means constant
truth that the collegiate white man is
an educated man. Too often the col
legiate training with its usless Greek
stuffing proves to have been misdiree-
ton of time, effort and habit, and to
have untitled the white boy for any use
full work in the world. There seems to
us not little danger that similar mis-
take may be made in the case of
Indian education. The thing these saw
ages need least is what can be given
them out of books. We do not begin
the education of our children with books
merely. Indians are adult children,
and require moral, physical and indus
trial influences much more than literary
ones. including Greek.
Education implies character as well
as letters. 1t is one of the signs of the
times that four thousand teachers
are sufficiently interested in the
! progress of their guild and the
