The Training of ndian Youth.

The twcnty-fourth annual report of Col. R. H. Pratt. superintendent Of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa. is devot- ed largely to the results of the outing system of the school in the civilization of Indian youth-the system which the Phoenix Indian school, under the able management of Colonel $. NJ McCowan was the first to adopt. Last year 519 boys and 429 girls from the Carlisle school had outing privileges for some portion of the year. While the boys worked largely for farmers, some were placed in mechanical situatio work ing side by side with the regular en- ployees in various establishments. Others were employed at seashore and other summer resorts in such positions as are often filled by college students during vacation. Of the merits of the plan the superintendent writes:
 Tt gets young Indians on an equality. | and acceptably. into actual industrial, social. and moral relations with the | good people of our country, and breaks down prejudice bewteen the races. It
 
 race are entirely and immediately ca pablo of taking on civilized industries | and pursuits their only obstacle being want of fair opportunity. This being provided by the outing, they respond | fully and satisfactorily. It generously l opens wide a way out from the reser- vation into civilization and proves that misconduct and failure among them under these individual privileges are comparatively infrequent. It exposes 1 the folly of specializing the Indians and making them peculiar through so- called renaissance of Indian art" em- l plOyments, to pass from nOmadic hunt CTS of game for q living through q pur- l gatory of nOmadic baSketry and other curio- producing accomplishments. mi grating between summer resorts ir search of q meager and degeneratinG livelihood, in order to satisfy the spec tacular and ethnological whims of 2 few self-constituted bosses among oul own people.

The American CavaIryman.

The rather fantastic theory of Gen eral Miles that the cavalry arm of the service has become a useless factor in war, and that the cavalry horse should be displaced by the automobile, is not likely to be adopted by the war depart ment in the near future. However, General Miles became somewhat ac- customed to seeing his recommends ticns and theories rejected while he was Heutenant-general.a and now that he is on the retired list he probably will not be disturbed by the adverse comment which his last suggestions aroused In one respect, however. General Miles un- doubtedly is correct In future wars the cavalryman, will have no weapons but the rifle and the long range re volver. In other words, he will be a mounted rifieman. such as we have long been acquainted with here on the west ern frontier Clearly, the saber is out of date.
 General Miles is not the only author ity who has been heard with interest of late on the subject of cavalry.
 Special attention has recently been directed in Europe to the cavalry of our army. and this is due partly to the visit of Major General Baden Powell and the late memorandum order on armament of cavalry by Lord Roberts, but largely also to the excellent paper on American cavalry by Brig. Gen. William H. Carter in recent number of the United Service Magazine.

''The story begins in August. 1901.
