EDUCATING THE INDIANS.
Encouragement to Be Found in the
Results.

Superintendent PEARS of Haskell Indian
Institute in Kansas, in his annual report,
says that although at times the results of
the work of education among the Indians
do not satisfy the onlookers, to those who
are in the work and therefore have oppor-
tunities to observe the gradual development
of individuals, there is more and more OF
encouragement and satisfaction. AS proof
of the permanent good results of training
the Indians. the report says that of ninety
five graduates previous to the classes of
1902 at least seventy-seven are at work
earning their own living, and in many in
stances aiding needy parents or supporting
in a respectable way a little family of
their own. OF the forty-one graduates Of
the classes of 1902 it is stated that there
is not one but is qualified to make record
equal to the earlier graduates. The under
graduates also are making excellent
records.
The fact, however, that the percentage OF
successes among undergraduates Is not SO
large as among graduates is cited as a
strong argument in favor of the continual
ton of thorough educational work. There Is
a constantly increasing demand from
among the Indian population of the country
for enrolment at this and other schools.
