Eastern Institution, May Be Reduced
Contract and church Problems.
WASHINGTON, Dec 24.-The sub
committee Of the house committee on
Indian affairs has been considering
the appropriation hill for several days
and will report it soon after the holi-
days. There is "A proposition before
the committee. TO make a reduction in
the expense of the Eastern schools
! Representative Wilson Of Washington,
who is a member of the subcommittee
preparing the bill, SAYS that there is
n general feeling that the Indians
can better be educated on their reser-
vations in the West. There is no
longer a frontier" said he. "The
railroads, telegraphs and telephones
have obliterated it.
The committee has also been con-
sidering what TO do with the ressrva-
tions made by purchase for church
and contract schools and it has about
been determined to appropriate S6O,-
600 TO buy number of them and to
begin acquiring them at about 20 per
cent each year. Improvements in the
way of school buildings were made
by the churches when the contract
system was in force. Now that IT has
been determined to discontinue the
contract schools as rapidly as possi-

lieve il will be fair to the church, es

TO acquire the buildings, which are
suitable for school purposes, if they
can be obtained at a reasonable price.

"'Iy Uncles." -
The term my uncle's, " as applied to
a pawnbroker's shop, is said to be pun
on the Latin uncus, a hook. Pawn
brokers employed hook to lift arti-
cles pawned before spouts were
adopted. Gone TO the uncus," there
fore is exactly tantamount TO tho
more modern phrase, ''up the spout. "
In French the concierge of prison is
called uncle because the prisoners are
kept there in pawn" by government,
In the seventeenth century a usurer
was called my uncle" in the Walloon
provinces because of his near connec-
tion with spendthrifts, called in Latin
ncpotes, nephews.
