was three inches.

EDUCATION IS OF NO BENEFIT
Indians in Oklahoma DO Not PrOht
by Advantages
Onered.

WASHINGTON, oct. SL.-A severe ar
raignment OF the Indians on the Ponca,
Otoe and Oakland reservations in Okla
bona IL made by Agent Erwin, in charge Of
the reservation, in his annual report to the
commissioner Of Indian AFFAIRS. The report
says:
Hardly any of the young Indians, those
who have graduated from conservation
schools as well es those who have attended
for a number of years, do any work at all.
II can be set down as a perfectly safe rule
that as a class the young educated Indians
are the most worthless ones in the whole
tribe. Nearly all OF the work done by the
tribes Is performed by the middle-aged,
9ble;bodied ones, who cannot write or speak
the educated Indian. coming from the
schools, usually gives the excuse that he
has nothing with which to work, neither
money, implements nor stock OF any kind.
This is true, but l notice that they manage
tc hye on their annulties and lease money

little prospect OF ever being able to pay
Any able-bodied man or woman is able TO
obtain work at fair wages. Many OF the
people are addicted to drink and both men
9hd women are inverterate gamblers. They
have practically nothing to do. Their days
are spent In almost utter idleness and vice
and debauchery are rampant.
tiIuhse s aesrei ncraona OF In thss thp people VIII con- n
work and live by the result Of their labors.
AS a remedy for this condition Of affairs
the agent recommends that the Indian
children be educated only at reservation
boarding schools, further education being
30 per cent waste Of effort and money;
that the schools under the jurisdiction Of
the Oklahoma government be established
among those Indians so that the latter can
come into constant contact with white chill
dren, and hat the payments by the gov
eminent from their trust funds now in
the United States treasury be used to
enable them to start in farming and stock
raising.

HER LIFE GIVEN
AS A SACRIFICE
Students Educated for Virginia
Country Schools Must
Realize This.
The entire course Of study Of the state
Female Normal School at Far1nv1lie

The entire course of study Of the State
Female Normal School at Farnv1lle
is to be revised.
Dr. flames Nelson, one Of the most
prominent members of the Board OF
Trustees and a member of the Commit
tee on Instruction, will go to Farmvlsle
this week to meet other members of the
committee for their important work.
This has been found eEpedent. The
course of study, it is said, has had the
tendency to drift out OF the most prsactl-
cal nature and towards the ornamental,
as it is called among educators.
Members of the Board Of Trustees have
not always stood together on this point.
Some have contended in the board meet
ings that the young ladies who go to the
State Normal should enjoy the same
curriculum. that the young ladies nave
in the colleges. But others have urged
that only such preparation should De
made in the normal as will best tit the
students there for teaching in the pri-
mary schools of the State. They have
contended that they should not be taught
instrumental music, painting, drawing and
such things, but that all the time they
spend at the normal should be gwen &c
the mastery, first Of the primary STUDIES
and then the best methods of teaching
For, say the advocates OF this plan, when
the young woman mas tasted TIC VI

college education, she will not be will
ing to go to the country districts anc
teach, five to nine months in tho yeal
at salary of SIS month. They say
