I gence, and that he can become a good
citizen. Not very long ago there was
time when il was a serious ques-
! ton whether the Indians could be ed
ucated and merge themselves into
American life as civilized men. The
first schools were short lived. Grad.
ually, however, much better progress
was made through the fact that the
Indians came in contact with civilized
man and observed his ways and in
/ dustries. The triumph of civilization,
the power of prosperity, the wonders
OF industrial art, all made a deep i'm
preston on the Red Man. Then came
the industrial school. The influence
of the new school is already widely
manifest, for young Indians are every
where drifting into industrial life, and
they will continue this progress as
civilization presses in around them in
an ever narrowing circle. Personal
contact has been the handspring of
Indian progress in this country.
The present system of education is
complex, extensive and costly, but it
is an economy in the end. In theory
at least the Indian is trained so that
when opportunity is granted him, he
can help himself. and theory has been
tairly well demonstrated by results.
In a financial way education has
shown itself in Lon Hill. a graduate Of
the law department of the L. of ",
who is recognized as the richest man
among the Indians. His wealth is
COISerYatiyely estimated at $780,
OUU. In a political way, the Indians
have two members in the senate, one
from Kansas and one from Oklahoma
So let us educate the Indian, and not
only make senators and millionaires
out OF a few o. them, but civilize the
whole tribe. and have good law abid-
ing citizens in place Of the half-civil-
lied race. and in this way make the
future of the Indians as rich in intel
lectual and industrious development as
the past has been filled with the rO-
mantle and almost tragic struggle Of
the race.
He was vociferously applauded and
was the recipient of many encomiums.
The chorus, Morning Visitation"
by the graduates, assisted by others
of the class, was pleasingly sung.
Miss Annie Atkinson read an essay
on the important and now much dis
cussed subject of Forestry" which
showed very thoughtful and thorough
research. We print Miss Atkinson

FORESTRY

Forestry is not a new subject. Two
thousand years ago it was discussed
and has been studied and applied
ever since. The sources of forestry
do not vary but depend upon natural
laws, which are being carried out all
the time. Mr.. Cleveland, Jr., sug-
gests that We take forestry as a yard
stick with which to measure the
height of a civilization. The foremost
nation is the one that has pursued for
estTy most widely and Systematically,
and the nation that has overlooked it
is termed backward" With a little
study it will be seen that those coua-
tries which have gone farthest in the
use Of forestry are the ones which
today are the most prosperous, when
have the least proportion of waste
land, and which have the most prom
Using futures.
The German empire today has
nearly 35,OOO,OO0 acres of forest and
has to import one-siXth of all the
wood she uses, making a considerable
drain upon her neighboring countries.
Nearly two thousand years ago she
felt the need of preserving her fores-
try, and now she leads in scientific
thorOughness, and is increasing her
profit annually. Half of a century has
increased her money returns from an
average acre of forest seven-fold and
has protected agriculture and river
systems.
France produces only One-third Of
her demand and the twO-thirds i'm
ported amount TO $46,000,00O Two
thirds of the torrents of Europe are
in France. In the Alps and Pyreneas
mountains there are over one thous-
and mountain streams which are dan
gerous. Almost a million acres of
mountain slopes are exposed to ero-
sion by these streams and this does
not take into consideration the fat
lands. As far back as the 10th cen
fury there were certain laws prohibit
ing the cutting of forests. but during
the French revolution those laws
were swept aside and the mountain
sides were cleared at such a rate that
disastrous effects were felt within
ten years. When 100000 acres of
farm land had been ruined and peO-
pie had been reduced to poverty AM
forced to emigrate, attempts were
made to check torrents by sodding in
stead of by forest planting, but were
failures, and now forests are being
planted and the money expended VIII

reforesting for protection is complete.

She has always been very willing %

In addition to Mary's musical attain

THE AMERICAN INDIAN

The problem OF how the continent
Of North America came to be settled
is one that will doubtless never be
solved to the satisfaction of all. The
old theory that the Indians are a
race Of men descended from a tribe of
Asiatics that crossed Behring Strait
is fast sinking into oblivion. The
popular supposition today is that dur
ing the second glacial epoch when
great sheets of ice covered over one
half Of the North American continent
the glaciated portions were as unfit
for man as the snow caps of Green
land are today. Therefore it is not
strange that the population for many
centuries clustered around the equa-
torial zone since the climatic condi-
tons were better.
And as civilization the world over
clings 10 the temperate zone ii is not
surprising to learn that the most civ
ilized of the early Indian tribes lived
in the torrid zone, which was at that
time the same as the temperate zone
Of today. The Indians of thds region
were the most highly civilized when
they were found by the white man.
They had already established such
cities as Yucatan, Honduras, Guate-
mala and other Central American
states, whose population once mum
bered hundreds of thousands.
Perhaps me nearest approach 10
civilization in ancient America was
reached in the Peruvian Andes, where
a tribe known as the Incas subdued
the neighboring tribes and became 4
governing class of a nobility with Its
own chieftain. called especially the
Inca, as a king of the whole.
These Incas formed something like
an empire. They built many good mil
itary roads, and did something toward
civilizing the tribes they conquered.
Their greatest population was IN Peru.
They had two domestic animals, the
llama, useful as a light beast of bus
den, and the alpaca, useful for us
fleece. They knew something OF az
riculture. and besides cultivaung corn
and other vegetables, the Peruvlans
cultivated the potato, which was I'M
known TO the white man until their
country was discovered. In fact they
were far ahead of any other American
tribes. although they had no form d
writing. Up 10 the present time Jhere
has been found no trace OF this nan
civilized race in North America east
of the Rocky mountains. Then Win

Thus the destroyers have had their
day. So let us think they have done
both good and bad. Let them have,
for nothing short of revolution of
foreign wars could undermine our
foundation for national prosperity.
Changing administrations are as pow
erless to change it as to change the
seasons. The writer once picked up
a yellow jacket by mistake and came
very near bowling for being ''stung,"
when he found that it was dead. In
this way only can business be disturb.
ed during a presidential election. The
people who are always looking for
trouble never fail to find it, and the
ones who have scared themselves
heretofore will continue. As rule
they are afraid to do business in a
presidential year, but in fact do not
cut any figure in the business world
any year; but as long as the Herald
readers don't look through their dark
glasses they can have the assurance
things will not look dark to them.
So let us hope these space-fillers in
the metropolitan press can shoot of
their surplus hot air-give vent to
their spleen and still do no harm by
disturbing the business affairs of the
country. r.. w.
