EDUCATING THE YOUNG INDIAN.
The annual report of the commissioner
Of Indian ,lrairs contains two state.
mcnts whlcb possess more than the
usual intcfcst of department reports.
These are the progress shown by the
23.352 Indian pupils in the government
schools and the peaceful record for the
last year. The number of pupils is in
| itself rcaSSurlng. because it shows that
the opposition of the Indians to the
education of their children by the white
man is dying out and may reasonably
be expected to disappear altogether
within a few years. or as soon as the
older Indians have gone to the "happy
| hunting grounds" The commissioner
says that the reservation and non-rcScr-
walton schools appear to meet admirably
| the condition of the Indian and to pro-
vide him with the necessary facilities
for acquiring an education equal to that
given the average white child. These
facilities are afforded by means of the
large industrial training schools located
off the reservations. by boarding schools
on the reservations. and by day schools
situated in the immediate vicinity Of
the patrons. THESE strictly government
schools are supplemented by contract
day and boarding schools and by public
schools under state and territorial super
vision. The whole number of these
schools is n93.
| The progress that has been made in
! this bcncticcnt work by the government
is shown by the statistics of average
attendance, which has Increased in
twenty years from 3.5OS to 1921. This

FoREIGN MONEY! ANp pRlcES

most instructive volume has Just
been issued from the Bureau of stu
tiStics. it being II compilation of special
reports from ministers and conSuls
on money and prices in foreign cuun-
tries These reports were made pur-
Suant to instructions from the secretary
| Of state last July, 50 that they present
existing conditions in the twenty-seven
countries from which they were made
and it is needless to say that they are
absolutely trustworthy.
Th" salient fact presented by these re-
ports is. that while there has been a
general decline in the prices of com
mOditlcs throughout the world. there has
ut the same time been general ad-
vance in wages. especially marked In
the leading industrial countries. all Of
which have either single gold standard
or double standard with gold reserve
This is Il most significant fact and 1t
VShould be borne in mind that while there
| has been an actual increase in wages
their purchasing power has still more
largely increased. When it is considered
! that the experience as to wages has
been the same in the United States as in
other gold standard countries. the aSs"r-
tiol of the free silver advocates that
thai standard Is inimical TO labor is com
plctcly refuted

rLNANclAL INDhpENDENcE.

\ stock appeal of Mr.. Bryan and his
followers is for the financial mdcpend-
rncc of the United States rs if it did
not already lave such Independence
The popOcrats prate about our financial
system being British and in order that
1t may be- independent" they propose
to McNicanze it. They urge that we
shall abandon the system of the civil
lied world, of The great commercial ma
tions with which most of our trade is
done, ana adopt that of China a&d
India.
In his speech ut Covington. Ky. Sec
rotary Carlisle said: "NotwithStand-
ing all that has been said or may here
after be said 10 the contrary. we have
now a distinct monetary system of our
| own, freely adopted by our own legiS-
lation, without dictation from or consul
tation with any other nation in the
world. and we have the right and the
power to change it or abolish it alto
gCthcr whenever we choose" This is
absolutely true, as every man who is
! Informed on the subject knows. The
fact Is. we have no less than nine diff
! ferent kinds of ''money"-a feat no
other country attempts The fact that
all this money is maintained nj parity
with gold does not make us financially
dependent on any other nation. but il
does preserve our credit, which until
! two or three years ago was at the high
! est standard. All the talk about "tnan-
cial independence" is the verieSt clap
trap and buncombe and those who
make il are, as WAS said by Secretary
! Carlisle. "simply Cyadng the real queS-
| lions at issue and misreprescnting the
| position of their opponents for the pur-
| pose of making unworthy appeals To the
passions and preiudiceS of their audi
cnccs" Gold has been the standard
since 1884 and during that period the
United States has had some dStin-
! guishrd statesmen of ungueStionablc pa

prompted by the silver bullionaireS. TO
announce this discovery. But it is note
worthy that since we have imported
some SGO,OOOOOO of gold from Europe,
due to our heavy exports of merchan-
disc, Mr.. Bryan has had nothing to say
about this country being financially de
pendent upon England. That very sub
stantial fact exploded the Bryan fallacy
as effcctually as the parting of wheat
and silver demolished another false
! theory of the free silverites.
