The Indian Rights Association have pub
lished number ofreports in regard to the
work accomplished BY their committees and
agents The Rev. j. J. Gravott shows the
importance of taking the Indian young and
training him in the way he should go. The
record of the Hampton pupils is most in

prospects Of bringing education lands in
severalty representation, citizenship and the
blessings of civilization to them never were

the report of Mr.. Herbert Welsh, correspond

sumner of wheat; and they are very ably and
clearly discussed in an article BY William
+. Bear, editor of the Mark Lane Express,
in the North American Review for April.
