develop each child as an individual,
always taking into account individual
peculiarities and inherited tendencies,
so that its life may be a symmetrical,
well-rounded whole. There must be
sCll room for individuality and the true

true system of education leaves ample
room for spontaneity but not for mis-

more to every one trained in this way
than it can be in the haphazard fashion
usually pursued. One would not all the

or from some neglect of education.
Every one appreciates this who is in

COMING CHEROKEE COMMISSION
Meeting.

| ST. LOUIS. No., Jan. 21.-The Indian
commission appointed to negotiate with
| the Cherokee and other tribes for the sale
of lands in the Indian territory west of
| the ninety-sixth meridian, will hold ses-
sion in st. Louis about February /, to
hear the claims of the Cheyenne and Ar
rahapoes. 1t appears that these Indians,
who are uncivilized, had title by occu-
pancy to land in western Kansas
and Colorado, comprising about $780,
900 acres. They were taken from
this and placed on the Cherokee outlet
where they remained a few years. While
there theT were continually on the war
path, and stole and destroyed cattle, and
on one occasion attempted to exterminate
surveying party connected with the
Santa Fe railroad, and General Grant then
they still remain. Meanwhile the govern
ment sold the land in western Kansas and
Colorado, realizing about Sl.25 per acre,
and put the money in the treasury. Now
the question to be decided is whether these
Indians are or are not emitted to the
money for this Kansas and Colorado land.
No other claim is made and neither
the title to the Cherokee outlet nor the
present quarters of the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes cut any figure in the case. The
law firm of Reynolds & Lewis will repre-
There is no special significance in the
meeting Of the commission in st. Louis, it
simply being done by agreement, as the
commission has to 60 to the territory
again, and will simply stop in ST. Louis
long enough for Messrs. Reynolds and
Lewis to present the arguments. The ex-
act time has not yet been decided upon.
