the hand as we'll as the head: So while
the Indian wants an all-day schooling for
his children, "all the same as, white
school," as he says, the white people OF
moderate means would be highly pleased
if their children could have the industrial
and domestic training that the Indian
children are getting in the government
schools. - .,
Besides the White Earth boarding
school with an attendance OF 159 pupils
located at the agency, there are two other
boarding schools on the reservation, one
at Wild Rive river, with Miss Viola Cook
as superintendent and one at Pine Point
with H. J. Curtis as superintendent.
These schools have total attendance of
about ITS pupils. The day school at the
agency has a daily attendance of 40.'pu-
pills and the Catholic mission, school has
an attendance of about 80 girls. The In
dian agent is Simon Miohelet of Mime
apolis and under his administration there
has been a great educational awakening
on the reservati Mr.. Michelet Is de-
termined to see every Indian boy or girl
on the reservation Of school age in some
school. He expects to build two more
schools on the reservation this year with
a capacity of thirty pupils each. Mime
apolis may we'll be proud of this man OF
whom. a recent visiting official said:
at is really pleasure to meet an
agent. Hike Mr.. Miehelet. He is a, thor
ough school man and has AN ambition to
educate the Indian children and to build
up the schools on the reservation. In
dian agents are not usually enthusiastic
on the subject of schools, and Mr.. Mich

rule that I cannot help but make fire.

To sit hidden behind sage bush and
watch the approach of a band of black
tail deer on one of these trails is the
most beautiful game sights imaginable.
Their gray coats blend so closely with the
gray green Of the sage brush that the un-
trained observer is surprised to, see deer
within few yards when he has watched
ever so closely and thinks nothing has
escaped him. Now they are coming to-
wards you-the leader pauses and gazes
intently apparently right into your eyes,
and your heart sinks, as you feel that she
will turn her command and go around you
the beating Of your heart throbs and
/ drums in your ears, your breath comes
and goes quickly, and your hand is nerv-
GUS. But the doe does not see you, for on
she comes and you sit as a statue; II
you move ever so slightly, those vigilant
eyes will detect it and your beautiful
creatures viii vanish. She comes within
fifty feet and on to the very spot you have
/ selected for your picture; then you give
the shutter bulb its pressure, and your
camera shot is fired. Again the doe
pauses, tie band close behind, with some
crowding around her. A faint breeze
springs up, she catches scent Of you,
and with frightened snort, the band
| with great springing bounds leap away
over the sage brush, generally back on
the trail, evidently thinking there is no
danger there, for have they not just trav-
| eled over It? You watch them until they
disappear over ridge, then move your
cramped limbs, for it seems an age since
they came in sight. If you didn't have
buck fever, you are hardly human. And
| in your camera is something which, under

produce that enchanting scene. The
great fat buck; with his beautifully poised
Ehead crowned with antlers which remind

difficult to answer this question with any
degree of certainty. When we consider
that the government is expanding an
nually over three million dollars for the
support of the Indian schools and that
this expenditure is increasing yearly we
naturally think that some results should
speedily follow. We may be sure of one
thing, however, and that is that there is
no state in the union whose red skinned
denizens can show more progress toward
civilization than can be found on the
