today the soft-footed, gentle woman that
bends over a fevered patient is often a
Carlisle girl.
This is the Carlisle idea in part. That
the graduates should go from the school
into active competition with the world
has been the lesson Colonel Pratt has tried
to instill into the minds of the pupils and
the interior department officials.
However, all do not go out to carve their
names upon the walls of the hall of fame,
Many return to their homes Perhaps
they intend to remain but brief time.
If they are strong they come away realiz-
ing the difference between the life they
have left behind and that vista which was
opened to them during their Carlisle years.
Often they forget the lesson. Relatives,
not lifted from the mire, appeal to them.
Life in blanket and dirty hovel with
ones family sometimes has its charms,
and the graduate whose education proves
only veneer returns to the past.
He lets his hair grow. He becomes un.
tidy and relapses into monosyllabic utter
ances. He makes no use of his education
He aflilates with others whose ignorance
leaves its mark upon him. He may even
turn to that path which leads to the de-
struction of the Indian reservation
whisky.
When a Carlisle Indian goes wrong the
fact is heralded from end to end Of the
reservation systena. 1t is terrible crime.
When Carlisle Indian remains true to his
teachings and achieves distinction, the only
appreciation shown is at Carlisle and
among those who support the Carlisle
idea"
Place an Indian in a position where he
has "A government annuity or reserya-
ton to fall back upon and half his self-re-
lance is removed He may not know it,
but it is a fact On the other hand if
he understands that he must carve his own
way, his education backed by natural de.
termination, brings his manhood to the
fore and in the competition of lfes handi-
cap he stands on an equality with the
Anglo-Sa-lon in the world Of cndeavor.
Carlisle life gives the graduates the edu-
cation TO meet the world They have a
good. solid education, have mastered
trade, and have lived a portion Of each
year in the home Of Ango-Saxons, where
they have acquired the customs Of refined
home life in the only natural way to learn
them-by seeng-and doing.

Carlisle today has 1869 pupils represent

girls entered Anglo-Saxon homes. Their
combined earnings amounted 70 $3l 1892 .02.
Students have on deposit and drawing in

the available pupils.

Of an unusually good play, suited exactly
TO their style of hilarious hunor, and they
do not let any of the opportunities of the

ried intact for each act, which promises
an attraction ont of the ordinary.

avoid battle and headed his ship to the

for Is months and the japanese cruisers
came out of dock only five weeks ago, the
latter were much swifter. They headed off
the fleeing Russian. Seeing pursuit was in
vain, the Russian captain gave battle.
Although the odds were heavy against
him, the Russian captain fought desperate

off the japanese cruiser Kickashinny and
she withdrew. The Japs appeared to be
superior marksmen, however, and every
shell counted. The Russian was disabled,

STEAMSHIP GARONNE
FOR ALASKA TRADE

The steamship Garonne will engage in
the Nome trade this season. An announce.
ment of this fact was made yesterday. In
view of the apparent shortage in Nome
tonnage, it is believed that the run will
be profitable one.
The Garonne was formerly in that traf-
fic. She is one of the largest passenger car
riers ever on the run, having accommodate
lions for 700 passengers, $50 first and Sec
ond cabin and $50 steerage, and large cargo
capacity She has undergone marine in
spection and was found seaworthy in every
respect
The Garonne, which is at Quartermaster
harbor, has recently had new hurricane
deck put on, been thoroughly overhauled
and refurnished. Some time this month
she will go into the Esquimalt drydock te
lave her hull scraped.

The CARLISLE INDIAN SCHOOL
ITS Achievements and AIMS

CARLISLE, Pa, March S.-"To civil ze
the Indian get him into civilization. 10
keep him civilized, let him stay"
After 25 years as superintendent of the
Carlisle Indian Industrial school, Colonel
r. IL. Pratt summarizes the situation in
the above pungent paragraph.
Critics scof at the theory. Enemies
and they are not wanting, denounce the
Carlisle idea" as unstable and erroneous
1t is noticeable, however, that the critics
are generally connected with the reserva
ton schools.
Frankenstein created life, and the being
Of his cunning destroyed him. Colonel
Pratt created life-new life--for the In
dian. He blazed the trail of the wilder
ness of ignorance, superstition, tribal GUS
tom and savagery into the new life of
civilization, with its prerogatives, claims,
franchise and liberty. Instead of destroy
ing him, his creations look upon him as the
Moses of the red man.
The first pupils arrived at Carlisle Octo-
Der 5, 1879. The party consisted of Da-
kota Sioux. Since that time 10 commence
ments have been held, and as many times
has Colonel Pratt watched educated. re-
fined young men and women leave the
school, which they entered uncouth ignor-
ant and probably rebellious young savages.
Many of the graduates enter other
schools. Some have passed through Yale
Harvard, Princeton or Columbia with hon
ors. Others turn to business colleges and
later enter commercial life. Some of the
girls attend women's colleges to complete
their education. The life of the trained
nurse appeals to many, and in hospitals
