and unanimous call that has come to me
from another field.
In considering this question | have
/ thoroughly appreciated your many earn
est appeals to remain with you as your
pastor and teacher. This field continu-

SOJOURN WITH INDIANS ON
THE RESERVATION.
| interesting Account Given by Miss
EmeIyn Tilden of Her Expert
ences as q Teacher OF Music
70 Ind ans

On Monday evening the chapel of the
Episcopal church was filled by those
who responded to the notice that a
Talk on Indians and Indian Music"
would be given by Miss Emelyn w.
Tilden, who has been teacher of music
in the non-reservation government
school for Indians at Chilocco, Okla,
and who spent the month of June on
the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reserva-
tions in South Dakota.
Miss Tilden was very happy in her
description of Indian manners and Gus
toms and aroused particular enthusiasm
by singing and playing many of the
weird and beautiful airs of the Indian.
She made it plain to her audience that
the policy Of Frances E. Leupp, COM
missioner of Indian affairs, Is to make
the Indian proud of being an Indian and
OF being good Indian; to preserve his
arts and crafts and to make secure the
vast store of Indian music. 1t is clear
from Miss Tilden's description that this
music forms an important portion of
the folklore of this country and should
be preserved not only for this reason,
but because of its own beauty and power
This work is being done by Harold A.
Loring, who holds the position of super
visor of native Indian music. Through
the kindness of Mr.. Loring, Miss Tilden
was able to witness an Indian dance ON
the Pine Ridge Reservation and to hear
the accompanying songs and music. Of
this dance she gave vivid description
playing and singing the airs and de-
scribing in detail the manner of dress
and the method of conducting such a
dance.
| At the conclusion of the address an
opportunity was given by the speaker
to examine the many and valuable GU
rios which form her collection. Miss
Tilden is an enthusiast in Indian music
and her enthusiasm together with her
familiarity of the subject aroused such
interest in her audience that there was
very large demand for the Indian songs
which she had on hand to give away
at the close of the talk,
The Ladies Aid society of st. Stephen s
realized goodly sum for their treasury.

"The Champiain Valley Telephone
Company having consolidated the tele-
phone properties in Addison County
operated by the New England Telephone

Along with the paragraph quoted
