The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1904-02-09

twenty-five little girls ranging from to Il years Of age
1t was found necessary larger and more central
quarters for industrial school, and place was given it
at the Women's Mission on East Main street.
Herald Democrat reporter visited the school yester-
day afternoon and much interested in what he saw
Mrs Curce was the central figure and superntend-
ing everything She assisted by Mesdames Newport
Tatum James, Kzer Boyer Mcconnell and Vose Each
these ladies had gathered around them three or four
little girls and teaching them to piece together
squares for a bed quilt Two three OF the children
we're making hanneette garments. All Of them sewed
neatly and well.
The ladies have not only devoted their time to this
form Of mission work. but have purchased all OF the ma
teria used far They have asked for outside
assistance but would not decline it by any means They
hope to increase the number of pupils to fifty as soon as
possible The ladies hope day to add cooking de-
partment to the mission competent and willing
teacher available but the expense Of putting up and
maintaining a cooking school is beyond the means OF
these few devoted ladies and only come when organ
ized assistance comes to them The idea OF the mission
is to teach these children the habits of industry and to
make them skilled in sewing and housekeeping. 1t is a
worthy effort and entirely practical Similar missions
have done good for the poor in the states and Mrs
Curtce should be aided in the good work she started

Practical Mission Work.

4 line of mission work has been originated (in that
town at east) by Mrs w H. Curtice, Of Shawnee,
very well known to many Of people, whose former
home was Seneca where her husband published the Dis
pach The account of what is being done is from re-
cent number OF the Shawnee Herald and it is deemed
worthy Of place in these columns because choice field
for similar effort exists in midst it does in every
other community To those acquainted with benevolent
work we wish their number greater the great need
