Father ScOIIen of ST. stephens Mis-
SION Has Mastered the Language.

The well known missionary at ST.
Stephens Mission on the Shoshone res,
e~ryation has succeeded in unraveling the
complexities OF the Arapahoe language
and has during the past year written text
books in the language, which are in use
in the Indian school at St. Stephens and
by means OF which the language may be
learned with as little difficulty as any
written language.
The Lander Clipper in an interesting
article tells of Father Scollen's methods
as follows: when he started to work
among the A~rapahoes he was told that
their language would surely battle him.
He is willing to admit that it is the most
difficult tongue to master he ever had ex
perienoe with, but IN spite of that fact he
mas constructed text books which he Is
using regularly with complete success.
Father Scollen's method was to ask of
the Indians the names of various articles,
and to write down what seemed to be the
equivalent sounds in English. From this
list he worked out the theory of the let
tiers, vowels and ~consonants. He finds
there are only four vowels used. a, e. i, u,
and that each has Jour sounds, represented
by different characters placed over each
letter. There are only about half as many
~consonants as in English. In the same
way. working directly from the spoken
language, Father Scollen elaborated the
parts OF speech. d~eclensiOns, c~onjugations
and other elements Of grammar. He has
succeeded so well that, besides the gram
mar, he has been able to writa a primer
and first and second reader in Arapahoe.
He has also translated the ten command.
meuts and a number of the prayers of the
Catholic church from English into the
Indian tongue. He is thinking of having
them put in book form. for the use of the
Indians. and hopes TO get the Smithsonian
institute interested in the publication Of
the lexicon OF the language, for which he
is gathering material. He says that in
the preparation OF the work he has made
good use OF the Arapahoe Indian, William
S~hakspere, as an interpreter. He say:
he can recommend Shakspere as one Of
the best and truest Interpreters he ever
met
