Chas. III. Mansur, 2nd Comptroller of
U. 5. Treasury, and others were
thoughtful and full of encouragement
Coming as it did from headquarters
to all engaged in the difficult work
of elevating the Red Man.
DIR. Edgar pronounced the bene-
diction and thus closed u most mem
orable day in the history of the
school.
Nineteen boys and girls. repre-
senting ten tribes, coming from
homes rs widely separated as Alaska
and Arizona, were sent out into "A
life full of responsibility, with almost
insurmountGble difficulties in their
pathway.
The question now arises twill they
go back to their old Indian ways and
thus show that there is no salvation
for the IndianH'
Seven have returned to their homes
in the west. Two have gone to coun.
try homes, preferring to stay east
awhile longer. One expects to be-
come teacher in school ut her
home in Alaska-another to enter Il
hospital in n. Y. City to become a
trained nurse. Others are still at
school.
AS far as we know but one gradu-
ate of Carlisle has gone back to the
blanket" Some pupils who were
here only short time and had not
sufficient experience or strength have
been waxed or forced into their old
habits of vice and misery. But it
seems to me even their homes must
i'll some way bear evidence to the
better way they were taught at Car
Isle. It is no doubt n slow work but
their civilization is bound to come.

girls are like we would not be so
ready to criticise.
A missionary on reservation
wrote in the Indian Helper last fall
an awful description of the con-
dition to which some of our pupils
return. / will quote part of it !:
II have seen girls and boys return
from school full of hope, full of am
bition to do for their people and
help them, only to see them each
day grow more discouraged and dis
heartened, till finally they are back
to the ways and customs they had
been years trying to grow out Of.
i may be mistaken but 1t is my i'm
preston that the older Indians
force their ruin in order TO reduce
them to the level from which they
have been raised. While the U. $.
tolerates such Il government rs the
Indians have and allows the tribal
relations, God help the girls and
boys returning from outside schools.
Death were far preferable to life as
they must live it,"
Martha Napawat delivered her
essay "Put yourself in my place" in
such an effective way that our hearts
achod for her, and her people.
The Red Man published mt Car
Isle gives it in full as follows
ESSAYS.
The Carlisle outing system which
gives the pupil an idea of independ-
ent home life and creates love of
home in them is bound to make their
lives purer and stronger.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by moro promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
art TO the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ativc; efiectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free fiom
every objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
