Preservation of Indian Music

The necessity for preserving Indian mu-
sic, the establishment of an Indian reform
school and the erection OF a sanitarium
for tubercular Indians are new features OF
NJ. Leupp's report. After discussing the
Indian question generally. the commits
sioner says that in pursuance of the gen.
eral idea of saving instead of crushing
what is genuinely characteristic in the In
dian, steps have been taken by him for the
preservation through the schools of what
Is best in Indian music. The last thing
that ought to be done with the youth OF
any people whom the government Is trying
to indoctrinate with notions of self-resDect,
he says. is to teach them to be ashamed
of their ancestry. The Indian schools offer
just now, he adds. the best opportunity to
retrieve past errors on account OF the va
riety of tribal elements assembled there.
1.-The children should be instructed in the
music of their own race, side by side with
ours he declares. and with that end In
view he has made an experimental start by
the appointment OF supervisor of native
music. The idea, ne declares, is spreading
most favorably.
Commissioner Leupp believes that the best
way to handle Indian pupils whom the
teachers find unmanageable Is to put them
in reform school for Indians only. The
grouping together of the well-meaning and
the vicious he declares to be unwise
He also believes that much good can be
done in checking the spread Of tubercu-
losis among Indians, which exists to an
alarming extent, by the erection some
where in the southwest of an Indian sani-
tarium. This sanitarium, the commissioner
suggests, should be in itself a school for
children infected with the disease, which,
he says, would insure to the unfortunates
special care and chance for recuperati ton,
as well as all the schooling needed to fit
them for the serious business of life. This
would obviate their being sent home to
serve as centers OF infection.
The despoliation of prehistoric ruins by
relic hunters and others Is particularly re-
ferred to, and the commissioner quotes
from a former letter Of instructions to In
dian agents warning them that until pro-
tective legislation shall be secured every
thing practicable must be done to prevent
these depredations.

Qualities of the Indian.

''The Indian Is natural warrior, a nat
ural logician, natural artist. We have
room for all three in our highly organized
social system. Let US not make the mis-
5 take, in the process of absorbing them, of
washing out of them whatever is distinctly
Indian. Our aboriginal brother brings, as
his contribution to the common store of
character, great deal which is admirable.
and which needs only to be developed along
the right line. Our proper work with him
is improvement, not transformation.
THE commonest mistake made by his
white wellwfshers IN dealing with the In
DIAM, says Mr.. Leupp lis the assumption
that he Is simply white man with a red
skin. The next commonest is the assump
tion that because he Is non-Caucasian he
Is to be classed indiscriminately with other
non-Caucasians. like the negro, for in
stance. The truth is that the Indian. has as
distinct an individuality as any type of man
who ever lived, and he will never be judged
Alright till we learn to measure him by his
own standards, as we whites would wish to
be measured If some more powerful race
were to usurp dominion over us.
Little can be done to change the Indian
who has already passed middle lfe," Mr.
Leupp says; ''our main hope lies with the
youthful generation. who are still measur-
ably plastic"

President Butler of Columbia University
has issued a statement giving the reasons
for the recent abolition of foot ball at the
university. He leaves little hope for the
reinstatement of the game, for there Is
no reason to believe that 1T will be SO
modified as to make 1t acceptable to the
authorities at Columbia. The statement

OF the firm Of Speyer a Co. OF New York

garding the proposed Philippine rail-

Taft referred Mr. Speyer to Col. Clarence

Affairs. who is now in New York endeavor-
ing to interest capitalists in the railway
projects for the Philippines. Mr.. SPeyer
will return to New York Immediately.
The plans for Philippine railways have
not proven as attractive 10 investors as
was expected It was thought that by
the time Secretary Taft started for the
Philippines this summer the Philippines
Commission and prospective concession
aries would be in the midst Of negotiations
Only one offer for the concession has been
mac de 40 far, and that IL not considered
seriously. The Cooper act Of the last SEES
sion Of Congress provided that the Philip
pines Commission could guarantee per
cent on moneys invested in the several
lines Of Philippine railroads. II Ia roughly
estimated that the proposed lines will cost
$50, 900, OOO
II has been the desire OF the Government
20 have one concern build all Of the lines
which aggregate in length about nine
hundred miles, but II now seems probable
that Il will be necessary 10 split up the
concession into several parts. Col. Ed
