PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION.
The schools are based on the time

must embrace not only the head, but
also the heart. The child brought to

to arrive at this end, no other language
is allowed to be spoken in the schools.
The teaching apparatus IS complete.
The curriculum is that of an ordinary
states school, embracing knowledge
of the rudiments and construction of
our language, and along with the
branches there taught a course of re-
ligious instruction, as well as careful
industrial training-all so utterly at
variance with the savage's inherited
tendencies that, says a recent visitor.

ing the summer months. 1t was then
decided to move to what it now known
as the "Old Mission" a spot Vener-
ated by all classes and creeds. Fathers
Josef and Point were its founders. The
latter of these has gone to receive his
reward. Rev. Father Josef, now SO
years of age, is at De -Smet Mission,
still wrestling with the evil one, in
trying to keep from his grasp those
whom he has loved so much, and for
whom he has sacrificed fifty years of
his life. The venerable father could
tell many tales of hardship and pri-
vations suffered amid the wild forests.
After years of hunger, thirst and ia
tigue, he felt as if he would have to
abandon the intractable Occur d'Alenes
suddenly, however change took
place that was least expected, and the
whole tribe became submissive to the
yoke of the gospel These savage
hearts became meek and humble like
their Masters. Perseverance had
brought about the perfect work. The
great barrier to their progress in civil
ization was removed; the way now lay
open for the civilizing influences of ed
ucation, and the jealous missionaries
lost no time in following out this part
of their programme. About this juno
ture Rev. ]. NJ Cataldo, S. J., had
come to help in advancing the well
fare of the Indians. Being for some
time among the Occur d'Alenes. he
opened a school at the "Old Mission"
which he himself taught, becoming at
once their spiritual guide and school
master. Some of his pupils, now set

The first step of the Catholic Church
in Idaho territory was made in 1872 in
the spring. when Father De Smet, on
his way from St. Marys, Mont, to
Vancouver. met the Occur d'Alene In
dams in the place now occupied by
Fort Occur d'Alene (now Fort Sher-
mani These poor savages had heard
about the Creator, or, as they called
Him in their language, Our Maker; of
His eternal rewards and punishments.
They were very anxious to know how
10 pray to Him. Though there were
Protestant preachers in the neighbor-
hood, they were leaning towards the
Catholic religion, though they knew
almost nothing about it. The father
was most welcome. They wished TO
retain him. but he could give them
only two or three days, but TO DO some
thing for their eagerness he retrahs-

Then he ranged the people into a large
circle telling them that whatsoever
they would recite the prayers they
should take the same position and or

each a very few words, so that when
each one in his turn had repeated his
lesson all the prayers were recited.
He met them again in the summer,
on his return. and found that a great
many knew all the prayers by heart,
and he promised them missionaries.
They went for them to ST Mary's. in
the fall of the same year, and by his
orders Father Nicholas Point with

them and started the mission on the

d. Alene Indian children despite numer-
Gus and seemingly insurmountable diff
ficulties. stands out today a successful
and fiourishing institution-a monu-
ment of the Catholic Church's zeal and
love. Visitors have uniformly spoken
of it with words of praise and the
papers, many of these non-Catholic,
have echoed their sentiments in terms
of congra tulation and encourag cement.
1t is the result of actual observation
and personal inspection, and, says Sen
ator Vest, "one ounce of experience is
worth a ton of theory" The question
of Indian education creating such eX-
element and bringing out so many
idle and poetic theories, here, as in
other missions conducted by the Cath
Ollie Church. finds an easy solution. The
untiring missionary. backed by the eX-
perience of centuries, seemingly un-
conscious of the turmoil going on about
him. but convinced of the rectitude of
every step he takes, tolls on with brave
heart, undaunted by difficulties, till at
length he has the satisfaction of see
ing his labors blessed with success. So
it has been with De Smet Mission.

history.

iors, fixed his headquarters. Setting
out from this place, at the request OF
some Indians for priests, he crossed
over the broad western prairies en-
countering untold hardships, and
passed in his mission of love even be-
yond Uncle Sans domain. His was
the march of a conqueror; yes. the
greatest of all conquerors, for, IN the
hearts of the Occur d Alenes of today
his visit lives in sweet memory,
though fifty years have passed away
since his advent among them.
FIRST MISSION FATHERS.
The first mission among the Occur
d Alenes was established at what is
now known as st. Joe, in the year
1912. The glowing descriptions which
Father De Smet spread over Europe OF
the great harvest to be reaped among
the Indians brought many applications
from members of the Society of Jesus
Belgium. rance, Italy, Germany and
even Switzerland, sent their noble
sons, ready to bear all hardships in the
defense and propagation of the faith.
Among these, the names of Fathers
Josef, Point and Cataldo are intimate
iy connected, if not identified with the
history of De Smet Mission. The loca-
ton on ST Joe was found to be I'M

marshes which surrounded it, and the
countless armies of mosquitoes. made

In 1857 the Feast of the Assumption
was celebrated with extraordinary
pomp. A great procession was organ
lied. Rev. Father Pandosi, o. NJ. l.,
lent his stentorian voice for the chant
of the litanies, four chiefs carried the
statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. and
when it was replaced on its throne the
head chief of the tribe, kneeling be-
fore it, in solemn voice consecrated
himself. his people, their lands. all
their possessions, to her. calling her
their queen and their mother They
might have forgotten this act-the
Queen of Heaven could not-but for her
protection the following year, the year
1858 would have been the last of the
mission. Reused to rage by false re-
ports. they attacked the government
troops. This would have been the sure
way to lose all, and they lost nothing.

abandon them and leave the place, they
were dissuaded from doing so by two

in their respective departments, at the
result of which he was highly pleased.
On the 9th mass was Offered up by
his lordship for the deceased members
of the congregat ton. after which the
children, with their teachers and the
whole tribe, went in solemn procession
to the cemetery, and with this cere-
mony the pastoral visitation was
brought to a close. That afternoon
the right reverend bishop departed to
visit other parts of his diocese, de-
lighted with the happy results of his
sojourn at De Smet Mission.
In concluding this brief sketch we
cannot do better than to quote the i'm
pressions received by Rev. Father
Gard, man of great experience and
travel, during a visit to this mission
at the close of the last school year.
He writes: In a reservation which
twenty years ago was a wilderness a
few miles from a mining camp, in
which capital and labor are fighting,
with an equal damage inferred to
both, there is a progressive and peace
full corner in which God is honored for
His own glory as well as for the tenn
poral benefits which bring the same
glory. Here, through the natural con-
sequences of Catholic faith. earnestly
embraced and practiced, the wilderness

would stand at the door, applying her

water of the gutter falling upon her.
She was very intelligent and very soon

missionaries, to whom she was great
