EDUCATING YOUNG LATTER DAY sAvACEs

dren and youth of America have been
very great, yet the advantages of the
modern method are incomparably
greater to Indian children than TO their
Caucasian contemporaries. Allowing
for exceptional cases, the Indian child
is Of lower physical organization than
the white child of corresponding age.
His forearms are smaller and his fin
gers and hands less flexible; the very
structure of his bones and muscles will
not permit so wide a variety Of man
ual movements as are customary
among Caucasian children, and his
very instincts and modes of thought
are adjusted to this imperfect manual
development. In like manner his face
is without that complete development
Of nerve and muscle which gives char
acter to expressive features; his face
seems stolid because it is without the
mechanism of free expression. and at
the same time his mind remains meas
urably stolid because Of the very alb
sence of mechanism for its own express
sion. In short. the Indian instincts and
nerves and muscles and bones are adj
justed one to another. and all TO the
habits of the race for uncounted gener-
atoms, and his offspring cannot be
taught to be like the children of the
white man until they are taught TO do
like them.

II Is only fifty years since the posi-

under the sea was first established; and
the first ocean cable, from Dover to the

Since her appointment as superinten-
dent Of Indian schools Miss Estelle Keel
has accomplished wonders by the intro
ductlon 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 all children, Indians
and whites alike, the shortest road to
the brain is through the hand" In Il
perfunctory way manual training had
been in operation before Miss Reel re-
ceiyed 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, catechisms and in
functions, and too commonly their eff
forts ended in the sad realization that
the seed was sown on stony ground.
Half a century ago some teachers be-
gan to realize that the chief need of the
Indian is for practical education invOly-
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 were 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
will be still further developed in fu-
ture. Observers of educational prog
ress are impressed with the increasing
ly practical character of instruction in
our own schools; the kindergarten has
passed the experimental stage and be-
come an important educational factor:
manual training has been substituted
for the dreary grind Of word drill. TO
the Unreasonable benefit of pupils. and
nature teaching is rapidly replacing the
husks of dead knowledge in every uni
versity and in all the better normal
schools and high schools, as well as in
many of the primary schools through
out the country.
In speaking Of the benefits accruing
from this system of education Miss
Reel said recently: "The benefits of
this educational revolution to the chill

This stock is increasing by about
three and a half tons a year. Four tons

In the absence of any better topic of
discussion, at a recent meeting of the
Rainy Day Club in New York Miss
Dora Goldthwait made the assertion
that women do not always tell the I'M
qualified truth. Strange as 1t may
seem, since lying, Ike most other
faults, is supposed TO have no sex, the
assertion aroused tremendous excite
ment. To obtain a satisfactory answer
to the question, do women ne?" 1t
should first be settled what lie is. If
by lie Is meant the intentional pur-
pose to deceive with malicious or dis
honest ends in view, the woman Is rare
who utters lie. She is seldom guilty
of the lie direct" which Is the mascu-
line lie. but as to the ''lie with circum-
stances" that is another story. Byron
defines lie as "the truth in masque-
rade,' which. perhaps. comes nearest
to the gentle art of lying as practiced
by women-an art not only gentle but
difficult. for Tennyson says that IA lie
that is half the truth is the hardest lie
of ALL" The half truth Is simply an
other form of tact and women are con-
coded to be masters of tact Nearly all
the communications upon this subject
are from women. Few men, indeed,
would venture to express their opinion,
though Julian Hawthorne has the cour-
age to observe that when women in
tend to be truthful they come nearer
success than we can" but on the other
hand they are able to fabricate a lie
which shall bear a misleading resem-
hlance to the truth more skillfully than
their male brethren" The most ex-
haustive discussion of the question is
that made by May Bushnell-Moody,
who asserts that there are instances
where a plain. straightforward, honest
lie is an absolute necessity and thor
oughly pardOnable, and that Ito tell a
clever untruth at the critical moment
is an admirable accomplishment" AS
rule. however, she believes that a
really tactful woman cannot get along
without "her reserve fund of tiny.
harmless subterfuges." and that IF one
never deviates from the path of truth
one is ceaselessly plunged into all sorts
Of troubles, besieged with enemies, and
absolutely devoid Of that delightful
kindness toward people which is the
basis of all happiness and unity" In
other words. this lady would have us
believe that lie is an offense. but a
ib is Just a cheerful evasion. and 1.-The
woman who can discriminate between
these two IS justified in using them with
