That the Indian Is leaving his native
trail for the white mans path" is well
evidenced by statistics gathered from
the annual reports of the United States
Indian agents. A greatly increasing
number Of Indians on the reservations,
or what have lately been reservations,
can read. Nearly a hundred thousand
Of them have completely adopted the
white mems dress. Almost all of them
have discarded the original dress Of the
people Of their tribes. Eleven hundred
dwelling houses were built by Indians
last year, and the Indians on the reser-
walton now possess more than twenty
five thousand dwelling houses. They
are, as rule, no longer nomadic, no
longer dwellers in wigwams. Exter-
nally, at least, they are rapidly adopt
ing the ways Of civilization. Are they
at the same TIME becoming civilized"
in the true sense? 1t is not possible to
answer yes with confidence. They are
learning to read, to live in houses, and
to wear white mems clothes; yet unfor-
tunately, in some cases at least, the
vices of civilization seem likely to over
power some of the native virtues of the
race, To civilize means to endow with
the proper qualities Of citizen; and so
far as the reading and house-dwelling
Indian lacks these qualities, his trans
formation into the outward semblance
Of white man fails in its chief pur-
pose. The duty of the white people to-
ward the Indian Is far from being end
ed with imposing upon him the super
fetal marks of their civilization.
