COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA PURSUANT 10 III
The herald., 1898-01-29

The broad and comprehensive assertion
that the soil of Perris valley is utterly
that scores of farmers are
out because they are unable to
make a living, is characterized as a
lie. The truth of the matter
is easily found. The teachers and en-
ployes at the school think that an Indian
needs higher development than an or
dinary school education will give him.
They think that environment" will
make the red man little more like a
white man. A lady teacher in the school
said few days ago: "If you could hear
the Indian boys play and the girls sing
you would be in favor of a removal to
some larger place, where they could have
the advantage of the music in the
churches and theaters." The govern
ment will probably make larger ap-
preparation for the purchase of theater
tickets for the instruction of the noble
red man.
Superintendent Hall says that the soil
will not raise anything. If that is so,
why are the Easton & Eldridge peopl,,
of Los Angeles buying a large tract of
land mile north of the Indian school?
A number of petitions are being indus
trfously circulated as a result of the
meeting last Monday night, and the
scheme will probably be sat down on.
