In order to provide greater isolation
for the hospital and furnish q basin for
the anchorage of the steamers used in
transporting the immigrants, a new
island, about three acres in extent, has
been made southwest of the main ISL
and and parallel to 1T. The two are
connected on the Jersey City side by a
crib. The hospital is being built ON
the Jersey City end of this new rect
angle of land. The physicians house is
to stand on the southwestern extrem-
ity. The other buildings are on the
main island, the restaurant, laundry
and bathhouse adjoining the main
building on the northwest end and the

of the island.

TEACHING REDSKINS.
METHOD OF EDUCATING INDIAN
CHILDREN.
Progress Made by the Introduction of
Manual Training Into schools-Grati.
fying Results of an Experiment Tried
by Miss Estelle Reel.

Since her appointment as superinten-
dent Of Indian schools Miss Estelle Reel
has accomplished wonders by the intro
duction Of manual methods in agency
schools scattered throughout the West
ern States and territories. Early in
her career as. superintendent she be-
came convinced, as she herself express
es 1t, that "among oil children, Indians
and whites alike, the shortest road to
the brain Is through the hand" In q
perfunctory way manual training had
been in operation before Miss Reel re-
ceived her appointment, but since then
1t has received close attention and the
results have been gratifying in the
extreme. In the early days OF the re-
public most Indian teachers sought to
lift the aboriginal mind to the plane of
Christian enlightenment by means of
texts and sermons, catechisns and in
functions, and too commonly. their eff
forts ended in the sad realization that
the seed was sown on stony ground.
Half u century ago some teachers be-
gan to realize that the chief need of the
Indian is for practical education involv-
ing manual training and actual intro
duction into the arts and industries of
their Caucasian neighbors, ana the eff
forts of those teachers who adopted
this plan We're always more or less
fruitful. 1t was not until the advent
of Miss Reel that the system was given
a really fair trial. The result has been
SO satisfactory that doubtless the work
