for which they have been trained, for they will retrograde more in three months than they can recover in SIX. If they are to be civilized and made to conform to the customs of civilization they should not be returned annually to their former semi-savage environments. One trouble is there seems to be more of desire to secure numbers than to do and enforce that which will be for the greatest and most permanent benefit of these government wards The Herald has made good point. The custom of returning pupils to the reservation is al- together wrong.

Il used to go to the n~eighboring town

and everything except transporting

AT first l would take the bag Of gold
just as it was given me in the bank, put
it or the seat of the stage, place q rug

got nervous. | guess it was that mys-
