 The Indian school term will close the Both of June. The school year ending has been extremely satisfactory. The work is proving practical, an instance beIng two applications last week for one or the boys 10 do work. The Indian school girls may go out as house servants aGaln this vacation, several applications having been made. Last year the girls so employed gave good satisfaction. TT rough them, however, Superintend- ent Billman lost his vacation. They worked well, but lacked stability. They | would hear from their own people about watermelons being ripe, and then they would go to the superintendent and ask that they might go home, generally saying their people or friends were ill IT dead. The superintendent invari- ably held them to their promise to stay the season through, at which some of them would cry and then be threatened with being shut up in dark room. At the end of the seasOn, when they got their money they were glad they had staid. This year the girls may go out to service again, but the superintendent will not lose his vacation in consequence. A cantata is now in course of rehearsal to be given at the end of the school year, probably in the opera house.
