a SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL.

The tenth anniversary OF the Indian
training school at Carlisle, Pa, was
celebrated few days ago. This has
been a most successful institution.
When established it had one hundred
and fifty-seven scholars, and it now has
six hundred and seven. Fourteen girls
and boys were graduated this year, and
they are described as refined in man
ners and far removed from savagery.
The school is supported by the govern
ment, and Indian youths OF both sexes
are admitted to it, receiving five
years. course OF study. 1t is an earn
est. common sense effort on the part
OF the government to bring the Indians
out OF their sbarbarism and exclusive
ness, and unite them and their interests
with the people OF the country. 1t is
can be civilized If placed among civil
lized people.
Among a number of prominent per-
sens present at the anniversary was the
secretary OF the interior, General Noble,
who presented the diplomas and made
an, address on the Indian question.
Among other things he said that
the president was determined on Sc
curing entire justice to the Indians, and
that the men who are appointed as
agents, inspectors and traders must un-
derstand that in the discharge OF duty
they must secure sobriety, truthfulness,
justice and decency within their COM
mand. There can be no question us to
the value ani importance OF this inst
tuition. The Indian children it senSs'
out trained in the ways OF civilization
can not fail to exert good influence
upon the tribes to which they return.
But it has been found that not in all
cases does the education OF Indian
children eliminate the instinct for u
wild, indolent and more or less barbar-
Gus life. Many who have returned 10
their tribes from the schools have
speedily abandoned the methods ana.
