conducted and the encouraging attendance
noted from week to week

of the league. held at the church Monday
evening. January IA, reports from the diff
ferent departments showed that real work
had been going on during the Christmas
time. Miss Smell was, perhaps, the most
active worker during that time, as her de-
partment has to look out for .ne poor and
her report was an interesting one, proving
without doubt the good that had been
accomplished along that line

arranged for series of social entertain
ments. The first one. which was held New

held on Lincolns birthday february 12).

There are many people today who think
the Indian is still the same fierce wild
ignorant creature he was in the days when
our forcfathcrs come TO this country and
wrested the land from the native tribes
There have even been members OF Con-
Kress who have been known to call the
Indians "treacherous. 'blood-thirsty hyenas'
and To say that II was folly on the part OF
philanthropists and churches to try TO edu-
cate and elevate them. that they had little
brains and that the ony sensible policy to-
ward the Indians was to eXterminate them
make them slaves. Such men have even
declared that dead Indian was the only
good Indian.
Yet not long ago IN the northeast corner
OF Indian territory where is the little tribe
of Quapaws, the Indians actually had the
grit and the goodness to set about educat-
ing the@-poor white children who were in
their midst and whose parents rented some
OF the Indian sfahds. They established II

their own funds and laying a tax of one

an astounding revelation of the size and
