UNIVERSITY EXTENSION IN CHI
CAGO.

The most important phase of uni
versity extension work SO far devel-
oped in America, says the New York
Press, is the way in which the great
Harper-Rockefeller University at Chi
cago has decided to take hold Of it.
Mr.. Rockefeller has given DR.. Harper
carte blanche, as far as money is con-
cerned, for the investigation and
adoption of the best method of what
is known as university extension. I'M
der the auspices of the Chicago Uni
versity, and Mr.. George Henderson,
heretofore secretary of the whole
American university extension move
ment, has been sent to Europe in the
interest of this feature of Mr. Rookie
feller's great foundation.
Whether Mr.. Rockefeller's univer-
sity can yet be said to open a new ed
vocational era in other respects or not,
the energy with which it it taking
hold of university extension is full of
promise. 1t is gratifying to the Press
to know that the movement recog-
nizes what this journal declared some
time ago to be the chief value of uni
versity extension: namely, the impart-
ing of a thirst for knowledge rather
than the Importing of knowledge
alone. The university pupil is bene-
fitted not SO much by all the facts he
learns as by the one fact that he
wants to keep on learning. Intellec-
tual life and activity is stimulated,
investigation is promoted and salts
faction with slow standard of knowl-

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

'The eighth and greatest wonder of
the world" is what the Worlds Fair
building and grounds, even in their
present incomplete condition, are
pronounced by Major Woods, execu-
tive commissioner of the Connecti-
cut Worlds Fair board.
A dispatch from Christiana says
that subscriptions are being solicited
towards defraying the cost of building
and manning the Viking ship, which
it is proposed to send to the World
Fair. 1t is the intention to man the
ship with the ablest Norwegian sail
ors procurable and to navigate it
across the Atlantic, although the at
tempt is regarded as very hazard
Gus one. When the ship is on exhibit
tion at Chicago, along side the cara
yels of Columbus, it is thought the
Norwegian flag, floating from the
masthead, will bear witness to the
intrepidity of Morse seamen, both in
olden days and at present. Those
having the enterprise in charge will
publish two pamphlets, one on. the
Viking ship and the other on the
discoveries of Left Ericsson.
The women Of Chelsea, Mass, will

that at comparatively early day, be
wiped out.
These are the principles upon which
the new civilization of t he Indian is
to be built up. There are some $1,000
Indians in the Indian Territory who
will not come under the applications
of this law, but about $50, 900 that are
upon reservations elsewhere, will. To
educate their children there are now
in operation under government man
agement, twenty industrial training
schools, and two or three more will
shortly be opened. Those now in Op-
Grafton have total capacity for about
5000 pupils. But when we consider
the fact that there are some 10000
Indian children who ought to be in
good schools, it can be seen that the
good work has only just started. 1t
is plain that it is only through the
means of our educational system
that the desired results can be brought
about, and it is to increasing the
number of these schools, so as to ac-
commodate this large body of chill
dren that friends Of the Indians
should turn their attention. With
the Indian youth educated and tribal
relations discarded, the Indian prob
lem would take long stride toward
its final solution.

edge is nowhere contemplated. 1t is
rather implied that the man who
learns little about languages or sci
ences will want to know more.
1t is, therefore, proposed almost to
begin where other university extern
sion movements are in danger of stop
ping-at the end of the popular lee
ture feature. The correspondence
teaching feature is the one to be en-
phasized most. A printed instruc-
tion sheet is mailed to each student,
who prepares written examination
paper in reply, and this is corrected
and sent back to him with further
suggestions.
The auspices under which Mr.. Rock
efeller's university is beginning its
work are sufficient pledge that this
is to be very different from the cor
respondence teaching with which a
large portion of the public is familiar,
and which the late George Elliot
would compare to 'the nibblings of a
diScursive mouse"

The old whaling boat, Progress,
which New Bedford, Mass, will eX-
hibit at the fair, will begin her jour-
ney to Chicago sometime in June, it
is announced. She has been fully
rugged and spared. Her water line
has been painted brick red, and her

have been laid in them. In the Sa-

articles used and obtained by whale
men, for example: Whalebones taken
by captain who persisted in the
great disaster of 1871, when thirty
three ships were abandoned with
great loss of life in the arctic regions;

experiences, harpons, knives, tackle.
clothing, boats, etc. The Progress
is of 35S.62 tons burden, and was
built at Westerly, R. l., in 1S43.
The German government is willing
to loan a magnificent collection of its
works of art to the Worlds Fair, but
the loan of such articles must be from
the German government to the gov
eminent of the United States. The
German government proposes to de-
liver every article to the United
States Consul General in Berlin as
the official representative of this gov
eminent, and will look to it for the
careful transportation, safe protec-
T tion and certain return OF every such
article. 1t is believed that there will
be no trouble in inducing the United
States to comply with the conditions
specified,

They Found the Indians.

One night in the tent heard cow
boy tell this story: He was with big
outfit moving cattle, and one day, some
where near the line separating Colorado
from New Mexico, they encountered
settlers cabin which had been plumber
ed by Indians. The settler and his wife
and children had been killed. The fore
man was sent for, and he Immediately
ordered that the cattle be allowed to
take care Of themselves while the cow
boys went after the Indians. Three par
ties set ont ut once, one commanded by
the foreman and the other two by ex-
perienced men. One party came back
in day without finding any trace Of the
Indians
Another party came back in two days
without finding any trace of the Indians,
but at the end of the third day the third
party came back whooping and yelling
and firing off their pistols, they had found
the Indians, killed every one of them
and captured their ponies.-Cor. Topeka

CONVENTION NOTES.

The FREE PRESS received the fol-
lowing items of news from the Asso-
ciated Press bulletin at convention
hall at different hours of the day:
1t is said On good authority that the
committee on credentials will be
ready to report at O'Clock this even
ing.
1t is further said that attempts will
be made to retire committee and have
contests decided on the floor of con-
vention in order to get test votes as
to strength of rival candidates.
Senator Cullom offered resolution
that the Columbian Exposition
be considered great national under
taking, and that congress take such
action as may be proper to carry this
out.
Convention adjourned until even
ing. Credential COMMITTEES not ready
to report.
1t is estimated that Blaine has 457
votes on first ballot, Harrison 461.
Quay says if contests are decided
favorably to Blaine delegates he will
be chosen. Opinion now prevails that
failing to nominate Blaine on first
few ballots, Mckinley will be chosen.

The Ice Invasion.

On both sides of the Atlantic equally,
the INTERPOLATION of fossilized forests
bears authentic witness to the sweeping
over the land of two great waves of ice
invasion. The trees manifestly grew
where the glaciers had been; again the
glaciers crept forward to constitute
themselves the sepulchers of the trees.
The second advance, however, fell short
of the first, and succeeded it at an un-
known interval of time. Opinions are
much divided as to its true significance.
DR.. Wright inclines to connect the ''forest
beds" with merely partial oscillations OF
the ice front Edinburgh Review.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

Those who have paid the most at
tention to the Indian problem have
long been convinced that the only
right solution of the subject was the
ciyilizing of the Indian: that his trib-
al relations must be done away with:
that an education must be given him,
and that he must settle down to the
pursuits of civilized life. That un-
less this course is followed, his eXter-
minatiOn is only matter of time. A
writer in the current ReUieac Of Re
cielCS in speaking of the Dawes act,
which was framed after long consid-
Grafton with view to the ultimate
solution of the problem, quotes high
authority apon the subject, as saying
that the Dawes act "markS an epoch
in the history of our dealing with In
dams. 1t is to the red man what Lin
coins proclamation was to the black
man: it overturns at one stroke the
entire past and inaugurateS for the
Indian new era. Although time is
required for it to become effectively
operative, its outcome is unquestiona-
BILE and irresistible"
The Dawes act strikes at the found
alton of the laws, traditions, regula-
tions, etc., that have maintained the
Indians much in the same condition
in which they were found. The Re
Uie,C of Reuieacs' writer draws from the
policy contemplated by this law the
following ideas:
a. We have no right to expect or
desire the determination OF the In
dian. % 1t is useless to contemplate
any future state for him other than
that Of an American freeman with
exactly the same rights and privileges
that belong to all other citizens of
this country. 49, 1t is the business
of the United States government to
get the Indians off its hands just as
fast as it can take them, individually
and by families, and deliver them up
TO the State within which they are
destined TO live, as ordinary members
of the body polite. a. The govern

as foreign nations and there must be
an end to treaty making. o. AS
rapidly as possible, under the Dawes
bill, good land must be allotted in
severalty to the Indians who now
practice the degrding communism of
reservation life. (6.) But this policy
of ALLEGATION must move cautiously
and must not move too much in ad-
vance of a very broad effort to edu-
cate the Indians up to the point of
worthy ambition to share in the high
er civilization that lies about them.
a. To this end they must all be
taught English by every possible
means, with no tender regards what
ever for their native dialects. (S.)
The education of the children must
be universal, and must be compulsory
where tact and persuasion do not suf-
fee. g. Moreover this education
must be practical and not confined to
book knowledge. Q0) The whole sys-
TEN Of reservation and agencies pair
ed down steadily and rapidly as the
general process of transformation will
permit, and must ultimately, and
