when first brought to school from the
filthy tepee of her parents. probably al
the age of six, seven or eight years
could not speak or understand a word
of English. What is the conclusion ?
You will all agree with me that the
Government, thru the instrumentality
of its efficient employees, has accom-
plished wonders, and what at first
seemed to be a hopeless task. But
suppose, as am sorry to know is too
often the case, that the girl / have re-
ferred to goes back, or is taken back
by her parents or her supposed-to-be
guardian to her former home in the
camps, and they, according to their
heathenish custom, barter her away,
probably to be the wife, and, as is too
often the case, to be the slave of some
old, long-haired, filthy Indian. Now,
please tell me, what has the Govern
ment gained in this transaction? Prac.
tically only the satisfaction of knew
ing that the Indian children are sus-
ceptible of culture and refinement, the
same as our white children, and in
some cases more apt to learn.
Some may say-in fact, have heard
1T said and repeated-that educated In

propriety of applying 1t all along the
line in the Indian Service. Why not
require the Indians, old and young. to
come under the just and generous laws
of our Government, the same as are
required of the whites or the negro
race, or as is required of all foreigners
who come to this country to make II
their homes. and are required to take
an oath to abide by the laws and Gus
toms of our country?
Why not teach the Indians or. II no
other way, compel them to comply with
the general laws of our country IN the
matter of their marriage relS ;oup. M
stead of allowing them, sss we know
most .IIpes DO, to persist in their bar
t5arous customs of bartering away their
daughters, and, in great many in
stances of which we know to be the
case, to cid, long-haired Indians for a
few worthless ponies or for some
worthless trinkets? Indian parents, as
we'll as Indian school children, should
be taught the Sacredness of marriage
relations. Civilization being the object
in view, it seems to me that there is no
better field for operation than along
this line. This subject, in my estima-
ton, is equally great, or as important
as any other to be considered in the
Indian question, for in it lies to great
extent tne future destiny OF tHe lnuldH
school children, who have been and
are being educated and trained at so
great cost by our Government.
To illustrate, will take for subject
one of our Hopi school girls, bright
eyed, pleasant-countenanced sweet
dispositioned girl, which IS the COM
mendable character of most of our Hopi
school children. The girl 1 have in
mind, with a little more training.
would be credit to any domestic
people, q girl who has received all her
aforts of teachers, who have been or
are now employees of this school; girl
who has been taught by the laundress
to wash and iron garments and make
them clean and white as snow. and who
has been taught by the seamstress to
cut, fit and sew to perfection, and who
has been under the care of a kind and
patient matron, who has taught her
how to make beds and keep everything
about the laundry neat and clean, and
who has been taught to cook, wash
dishes and wait on the dining table in
such manner that she would bescred-
liable as a waitress in the dining room
of any respectable white family.
Now, such girl as 1 have pictured

probably $4,000, allowing that
