A LETTER
FROM PROF. c. A GREEN, REGARDING
CaILDREES PERCENTAGE.

The fylIo-inr interesting letter Is
from tue pen of Prot. c. A. Green,
of Ashton. The questions he refers
to were used March s and 4 through
out the State. We could not give
space to them as they were too
yoIcminons.-Ed.
In the rural districts throughout
the state the above questions were
used on March Sd and 4th for ex-
animation for Free School Diplomas.
Several pupils in this county passed
above the required per cent IS.

If the teacher Is doing poor work are
You not endorsing it by your silence

the innocent child who looks at life
in no serious way. Would not
little more interest manifested on
your part strengthen the teacher: !
want to be fair. believe yourchief
concern is for the futare welfare of
your children. ! believe your first
desire is that your boys and girls
shall grow into men and women
strong in character, clean in life,
useful as citizens and capable of
maintaining their independence and
making their own way in the world
successfully. Such preparation for
life must be the combined result of
different influences chiefamong which
is education.
From the twelfth to the twentieth
year of ehild's life certain powers
are developed. In these years the
youth discovers himself and forms
ambitions for the future. At this
age he begins to realize his relations
to society, to understand the duties
of citizenship and to acquire indie
pendence of thought and action. If
Your children are not receiving the
proper training they will be placed
at disadvantage in the competitor
of life.
The world wants broad-minded
men. The time wants scholars who
can shape the doubtful destiny of
future years. The age wants heroes
who dare to seize monster errors by
the throat and bear good opinions to
a loftier seat. These are some of the
reasons why the State Board of Edu-
cation of New York City is interested
in the schools of W. Va. to the ex-
tent of furnishing sufficient money to
induce Mr.. L. L. Friend OF Charles
ton to resign Assistant State Super.
intendents place and spend his time
in the interest ofrural High Schools.
You see Mr.. Friends salary and ex-
penses are provided for from abroad.
He will cheerfnlly answer any com
munication reiative to High Schools
in the state. Any locality interested
in High Schools viii be honored with
his presence by simply extending an
invitation.
wassener District Board is to be
commended for extending their
schools to 7 months.

INDIAN MONUMENTS
-. TO FALLEN BRAVES
14il Be Reared in Dark CANYON
in Memory of Deeds of
Ogalala Sioux.

Rapid City, S. D.. April 27.->-In the
picturesque Dark Canyon, a wild spot
near here. lasting monuments to the
memory of the great chiefs of the Oga-
lala Sioux. who. in early days. loved to
roam through the pineclad hills at will.
are to be erected. Carvings on the bald
faces of rocks in the anyon inscrlp-
tions fashioned by the cunning of red
skinned artists now making their home
on the Indian reservations in South Da-
kota, will mark the lives of such men
as Red Cloud, White Cloud. Sitting
Bull, Rain-in-the-face. Two Sticks,
who was hanged in this city for MUIR
der 30 years ago, and Others of the old
warriors.
Committee Selects Spot.
The selection of the spot, which in
future history will mark the strenuous
days of Indian rule. was made by a
committee of Indians from the reserva-
lions. GraVe-Visaged men, a small COM
mittee appointed by the survivors Of
their race, visited the canyon in COM
pany with Frank Lockhart. of this city,
and with cultural mumblings and with
many gesticulations. picked out the plot
on which the monuments to their e
chiefs will be reared. Then silently
they returned to their reservations to
arrange with their artists the making
of the tributes to their chiefs. Some Of
these will be in the form of statuary,
some in simple carvings on the rocks,
such as the pioneers of the 7Os saw in
their first j%ourneyings to the gold-laden
hills when none but redmen lived here.
Tribesmen to Choose Monuments.
No date for the erection of these
monuments has been set. 1t may be
weeks before the representatives of the
indians are satisfied that fitting tributes
to their chiefs are ready. Then all the
tribesmen, now in a state of semi-civi-
lization on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge
reservations where they are charges of
Uncle Sam, will be called together to
pass upon the merits of the monument.
Then when their approval is gained, the
committee Of the redmen will again visit
the Dark Canyon and attend to the
raising of the monuments.
The idea of raising n placing these
monuments to their noted dead is not
new with the Sioux Indians in this
state. They have long figured on it and
often spoken of it. Finally it was de-
cided by their head men to choose the
Black Hills. =
