EDUCATION OF INDIAN CHILDREN
PROGRESS MADE BY THE INTRODUCTION
OF MANUAL TRAINING INTO THE
AGENCY SCHOOLS

Washington. Oct (speciaD.-The last decade
has witnessed a notable advance in the methods Of
education employed in the Indian schools. \
tury ago most Indian teachers sought to lift the
aboriginal mind to the plane of Christian enlghten-
ment by means Of textc and sermons. catechsms
and injunctons, and too commonly their efforts
ended IN the sad realization that the seed
sown on stony ground. Half century ago
teachers began to realize that the chief need of
the Indian is 40 practical education inv
manual training and actual introduction into the
arts and Industries Of their Caucasian neighbors
and the efforts of those teachers who adopted
this plan were always more or less fruitful During
recent years the method of manual training has
received closer attention thOn before. and
during the last two years Miss Estelle Reel the
superintendent of Indian schools. has made decided
progress in introducing manual methods in the
agency schools scattered throughout the Western
States and Territories.
Observers of educational progress impressed
with the increasingly practical character OF nstruc
tion in schools; the kindergarten has

INSECTS IN WINTER.

A little how once asked his father if the house
flies went South for the winter, like the birds; and
then his father told him a long story about ar

He told the boy that when autumn comes the
death knell of millions of flies has sounded. Ihey

Early yesterday afternoon S68 jolly

in the Sanity City. The boys" were

the Intention of not letting one interfere
with the other
No sooner had the engineer of the
train pulled his steel horse out of the
depot shed when a great clamor arose
for the straw vote that had been prev
iously announced. The bet was between
Fred Schiffnnan and r. N Grady. The
former had $50. saying that Mckinley and
Van SAINT would get the most votes, and
the latter that Bryan and Lind would
win out. The fact that election is only a
few days away helped to make every
body on the train impatient, or, rather,
deeply curious to see how the vote would
come out Fred Schiffman. r. ~ Grady,

We're made tellers, and slips passed
around to be filed out. When the votes
were counted the result was as follows.
Mckinley, 50: Bryan, 80; Lind 107 and
Van SAINT, II.
These figures give a very forcible tip
as to how Lind and Van SAINT stand in
the Twin Cities.
