ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY.
The people Of Chemawa were
given rare treat Wednesday night
oy the exercises attending the elev-
enth anniversary Of their school.
The program consisted of music,
urations and dialogues and was
,iyen in such a manner as would
have done credit To some Of their
fairer friends. If those who took
part in the exercise "wednesday
night are IA fair sample of the Iu-
dians' ability to portray character
"ne would be compelled to infer
aat they are hard to excel in that
line. The poem entitled the "Elev-
enth Anniversary" was original in .
both style and meter and was well .
received. Part of the program con- .
sisted Of patriotic speeches and ,
songs, among them, Marching
Through Georgia by large chorus q
class. Miss Gilman, Teacher in the :
primary, gave some fiue maBouvers ;
With her large class of beginners
from 9 to l5 years of age.
Miss Cornelius deserves credit
Tor her ability to train children
aud maintain order. The pupils !
and their work show that they have u
had careful teachers aud thorough =,
training. AT the close of the exer- !
else Supt. Irwin made few re,
marks in which he set forth the
mode OF work in the school. He
said that the patriotic songs and
speeches made strong impression
on the minds of the Indians and
gave them a love for their country,
The last thing on the program was
a grand drill ofthe entire school, POS
pupils, by Disciplinarian d. +.
Brewer.

AS II is hard TO get full house in mid
week to public lecture, however

The lecturer dealt on those princi-
pies which 90 to make the man, and
both the thoughts and the language
were good. The address was spiced
with n small taste of humor, hut

Those who were in attendance pro-
nounced IL a splendid effort. The
University has made an effort dur.
ing the past two or three years to

state give addresses In this city 10
