WHO BEARS THE BURDEN?
HaIf-Breed Children Apply fer Ad mis-
sion to Public School

perplexing question as TO the
eligibility OF half-breed and quarter
breed Indian children for admission
TO public schools OF Montana has been
submitted 10 State Superin endent w.
w. Welsh by G. d. Robb of Brown
ing, on the BlackfOOt Indian restrva-
ton.
The town is at present an unrecog
nized school district and as there are
number of white children living al
and near Browning plans are being
made to organize a district and esta b.
fish a school
Mr.. RObb states that there has been
a great deal of discussion on the res
erVation as to what children should
be admitted to the school An i'm
preston prevails that half-breei chill
dren should be ciassed as Indians anC
hat quarterbrecds should enjoy the
same privileges as white children. ant
that decision to that effect has beer
recently given by the courts.
The matter was referred to Attor
ncy General Donovan recently by tho
state superintendent for an opinion
A hasty search of the statutes by AS
sistant Attorney General Mettler fails
been passed upon in this state. The
decision the people Of Browning prob
ably have IN view is the one recently
given by Judge Knowles, of the feaer
al court refusing to relieve a quarter
breed who relinquished his triba
| rights, from the paying of his taxes.
"The matter is one that should be
thoroughly looked up, that no unWis'
or illegal precedent may be establish
| ed said Assistant Superinten den
Lewis today. THE burden of educa
ton of Indian children is carried b.
the government, and as there are ;
great many breed children il is import
ant that the matter be thorough,
canvassed before it is decided. Tit
matter has been submitted to the at
,orney general for decision.
| "The school law makes no dstin'
ton between breed children and whit
| children. 1t says that all chillrel
shall be enrolled. Of course the fed
eral statute, if there be any relating
| to the education OF half or quartz
breed InNans, would except then
from the provisions of the state law.
Browning is on the reservation
and there are undoubtedly quite
number of children of Indian ant
white parentage that will seek admls
sion. The matter is one for the a5tol
ney general to decide,

Has Returned From an Extended Wis
it to Eastern Points.
Mayor w. H. Griffin returned Mon
day night from an EXTENDED trip to
eastern and northern points. During
his absence he visited Asbury Park
and other noted watering places on
the Atlantic coast and spent a few
days at each place. Mr.. Griffin was in

the duke and duchess of York, and
was spectator at the ceremonies
given in honor of me royal visitors.

fond of the Americans. and are gen.

MUSIC TEACHERS MEETING.

FROM the Musical Courier New
York, July 18th.
Mr.. Emil Liezling, the distinguish.
ed Chicago pianist. appeared in re
cital Wednesday afternoon before the
Music Teachers National association
at Saratoga. Special advices received
state that the programme was admir-
ably carried out and created the great
est enthusiasm. 1ne Kimball con
cert grand piano was selected for use
at the association meeting. There is
one thing that can be said about the
kimball concert grand piano. and that
is. it is great deal better than
some of the older makes of instru-
ments, and that it is entirely worthy
of being used in concert work is a
foregone combustion. or it would new
er be used by some of the bright mu-
sicians who use it. There is literally
no competition for this instrument
from the west. and the rivalry which
it has to encounter by its eastern
competitors does not seem to have
much effect in preventing it from be
ing used whenever and wherever the
company desires to have it played.

The government, of course. has had
no chance of passing such a measure
during the present session, but 1t is
well known that Mr.. Chamberlain is
very eager to reduce the number of
Irish members, and If he is allowed to
have his own way, the prime minister
will announce redistribution bill in
the kings speech at the opening OF
parliament in 1902 :3%I.
The tactics adopted by the National
lists at Westminster have lost them
good deal of English sympathy and
the reduction of their number. would
please the bulk Of the people Of Great
Britain, irrespective of party. Should
the king, however, adhere to his pres

visable to postpone the matter for
