AGAINST MIXED SCHOOLS.

dltion ofTribai Affairs.

dltion ofTribai Affairs.
On the occasion Of the visit Of
Supervisor Coppock 70 ong< school
we had the pleasure of meeting
ans conversing with him on gen.
eral topics and especially upon the
educational question of the
country. While Mr.. Coppock did
not talk for the press and objected
to being quoted, the tenor of his
conversation convinced us that he
is fully alive to the work in hand
and is doing a good and much
needed work for the tional
interests Of the Cherokee people.
There is matter connected
with our schools, however, that we
think it proper to call attention TO
at the present time-the merging
of the Cherokee national schools
with the free schools of the in
corporated which we re-
gard as entirely wrong and inn
polite at this. critical stage Of the
country's history.
1t behooves us to guard with all
possible vigilance our moneyed in
terests, as well as our landed in
terests, and especially our invest
ed funds set apart for the edu-
cation of all Cherokee children.
1t seems that the Cherokee
national schools are run on the
same lines under the same laws
that yerein force by virtue of the
Cherokee statute prior to the pas
sage Of tie Curtis act, and any
thing that vas a violation of the
law then is violation now.
We published in the last issue
of the Monitor the law bearing on
the merging Of the Cherokee
national schools with non-citizen
schools, that the situation might
be clearly understood and intel
acted upon.
No citizen of the Cherokee
nation ought to wink at the divert
ing of Of the Cherokee educational
funds in anychannel not contem-
plated bythe Cherokee law.
Take into consideration the fact
thahwhen such schools are merged
the board of education of the
Incorporated towns take full
overtopping the Cherokee
board of directors and leave them
to simply certify to the service
performed by the teachers that
they may draw Cherokee money.
Cherokee law contemplates
nothing Of the sort; and perhaps
we had better stand for total sep
aration os EDUCATIONAL funds from
non-ci;izen fu hds. We doubtless
viii as d people, be engulfed soon
enough without winking at such
aagrant vioiations of the law.

When the time comes that town

hoped that extortionate prices will
not prevail as they have to some
extent in the past. 1t would be a
serious mistake to place a high
figure on unoccupied town pro-
perty and would retard the growth
and drive capital and people away
from the town. Theprice Of town

means discouraging to his followers. 1t
is true that Col. Bliss, who led on the
first few ballots, was passed by Mr..
Ferry, but the apparent significance of
this is weakened somewhat by the fact
that Mr.. Ferry was not gaining at the
expense of Mr. Bliss, but was picking
up n vote here and there from the
minor candidates. Mr. Stearns held
his own fairly we'll throughout the bal
loting, but his supporters appeared TO
be playing Il waiting game. While it
is probably true that Sybrant Wesse-
Illus, who was leading the fight for Mr..
Stearns on the floor of the convention,
would have preferred after the ballot
ing began, an earlier adjournment, he
did not indicate his desire by word or
vote, fearing, no doubt, that such ac-
ton would be n confession of weak
ness. However, when the Ferry forces
had had enough, Wesselius joined with
them in voting to adjourn, which fol
lowed after the 10th ballot had been
taken.
When the gavel fell in the conven-
ton hall on the morning of the 2Sth,
the roll call for the nomination for
governor was at once proceeded with.
The first few counties went down the
line recording the same vote they did
on the last ballot the night before
Baraga recorded the first change,
Ferry losing one to Bliss. Great cheer
ing by the Bliss people followed. Ber-
rien's 81 for Ferry and Calhoun's 20
brought great cheering from the Ferry
followers. Any Stearns vote brought
out Stearns cheers. The floor mana
gers of all three leading candidates
kept up the cheering for the purpose of
Keeping their forces in heart. One-third
the way down the list of counties the
net changes recorded Bliss loss Of
three and gain of one: Ferry gain
of two and loss of one; Stearns n gain
of one and loss Of one: O'Donnell a
loss of one and gain Of one. This car
rled the roll of counties down alpha
betlcally to Lcclanau.
On the 10Th ballot Stearns gained six
from Osborn i'm Menominee and two
from Bliss i'm Osceola, and Bliss gained
one from Stearns i'm Pressure Isle.
