TEACHING REDSKINS.
METHOD OF EDUCATING INDIAN
CHILDREN.
Progress Made by the Introduction OF
Manual Training Into Schoois-Grati-
flying Results of an Experiment Tried
by Miss Estel1e Reel.

Since her appointment as superinien-
dent OF Indian schools Miss Estelle heel
has accomplished wonders by the intro
duction of manual methods in agency
schools scattered throughout the west
ern States and territories. early III

came convinced, as she herself express

and whites alike, the shortest road 10
the brain is through the hand. In
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, 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 inyolY-
ing manual training and actual intro
ductlon 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. II was not until the advent
OF Miss Reel that the system was given
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

husks of dead knowledge in every uni

In speaking of the benefits accruing
from this system Of education Miss
Reel said recently. THE benefits of
this educational revolution to the chill
dren and youth of America have been
very great, yet the advantages of the
modern method are incomparably
greater to Indian children than 10 their
Caucasian contemporaries. Allowing
for exceptional cases, the Indian child
is of lower physical organization than
the white child of corresponding age.

A HOUSE OF BEADS.
Wonderful Work of Woman Whose
Early Love Was Blighted.

One of the most wonderful houses In
the world, which is called THE Castle
of Liberty" has been built entirely Of
beads by Miss Matilda Hemming of
Chcltenham, England. 1t stands two
feet high and its first floor measures
about ten inches square. The second
floor has all around it the queerest lit
tie balconies, inclosed with fences. A
mansard roof, through which curious
little dormer windows peep, covers the
third floor. II is made entirely Of beads.
Pure white beads form its windows,
beads of chalk form It's sides, the roof
is of opal tinted glass. A woman work
