In her report as Superintendent of Indian Schools
Miss Reel emphasizes the vital Importance of
teaching the homemaking duties to every Indian
girl claiming this to be even more essential than
the teaching of trades to the boys. AS almost the
only way of reaching the homes of the canp
Indians is through the girls school, and as they
are to be the future wives and mothers the fate
of the generations to come is in large measure in
their keeping Therefore the opportunity for train
ing them in the duties of their future state should
not be neglected Since her appointment twenty-six
months ago she has spent seventeen months in tho
field, inspecting the schools and ascertaining by
personal observation the needs of the Indians and
the service. She reports increased enrolment bet
ter accommodations, greater facilities for industrial
training and gratifying improvements over pre-
vious years. A strong plea is made for compulsory
education.

its investment of the place attacked, may

tainly applies to the almost countless

resisted the united efforts OF the govern

ney, Australia.
| To these terrible little enemies no quar-
ter is given. Each one captured alive Is
put to death and cremated. And yet for
tens of thousands thus destroyed tens OF
thousands are found to the front or lying
concealed within their shelters.

] The greatest difficulty in contending
against the rats attacks is experienced
from their naval brigade-constantly re-
enforced, as it is, by c~ontingents from the
fresh ships arriving and joining the ma
rine d~etachments that are in force at the
wharves, ~jetties inc dock warehouses.
1t was at first thought that this plague
of rodents would be eventually stamped
out, but the fact appears certain that
there will need to be a permanent estab-
