ors OF wool without any dye whatever and the
beautiful outline blankets in which the Navajo
mas reached the highest perfection OF the art
These blankets were judged by Frank Staplin. a
Navajo blanket expert of Farmineton N NJ LII
Parsons OF Durango and Miss Emma Loomis of
the agency, and the first prize was awarded to
beautiful black. white and grey blanket OF
artistic design and remarkably even and close
weave, shown In the center picture
The Navajo silver jewelry is hand hammered
from Mexican dollars. which the traders procure
for the NavaJos and many of the pieces are very
beautiful In design and odd and exquisite as an
ornament. The Jewelry consists of rings, brace
lets. neck chains. charms and many other articles
IL should be remembered that none OF the prod.
ucts raised at Shiprock under the supervision Of
the superintendent and employees were permitted
TO participate for prizes. but every prize to
reservation Navajos for products purely their
own. The vegetables and other agricultural prod
ucts OF the agency are however. worthy OF spe-
eia mention. as they formed a fine exhibit In
themselves and included. besides the ordinary
products OF the section. many OF the new vege-
tables brought from foreign lands by representa-
tiyes OF the department of agriculture.
Some OF the Indian exhibits were brought no
less than 20 miles in wagons and on horseback
by the Interested owners. and one lot of so gen.
eral exhibits. which deserves special mention
came from Sa-Noos.Tee the vicinity of +. L. Noel's
trading post. This lot contained the prize-win-
ming assortment OF silver work and other prize
winners.
The success of the first Navajo fair which
the unappreciative neighboring public had sup
posed would consist of few pony races and
chicken fights. but which turned out to be an
exhibit of agricultural products which probably
equaled any other ever made In the county, for
quality. and contained at least FIVE times the
quantity. is due entirely TO the work of Major
w. I. Shelton. the superintendent at Shiprock
II is true the Navajos were producing most OF
these articles long before they ever saw or heard
OF Shelton. but they were not producing as much,
as well nor as fine a quality as they have been
since coming into contact with the influence of
the institution which he has founded Neither
could they have been induced TO have brought
together their most valuable and cherished per.
sonal effects for public inspection but for the con-
ndence which this agency has awakened within
them.
We have therefore seen the first beneficial
effects OF education and proper example upon this
neglected people. The changes which have been
wrought upon those coming In contact vita this
institution have been rapid and sweeping that
II challenges credulity. The difference between
them and the Nayajos on some other parts OF the
reservation is so marked that they would not be
taken for the same people. and II is these differ
ences that commend the policies and practices
initiated by Mr.. shelton at this institution and
places II in favorable contrast with other govern
msnt and private Indian schools.

would further ask that the names of
all delegates elected be forwarded at
once to the state secretary at Calhoun,

commissioned organizers who posi-
bly, can will attend this meeting, as
we want to see a systematic plan ar
ranged whereby the organization OF

would not act As for my opinion,

News Of General Interest in a
Summarized Form,
BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.
FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
Campaign, as Planned by Chief crsbbe,
to BE a Whiriwind.

Frankfort. Ky.--J. @. Crabbe. chair
man OF the Kentucky educational cam
paign committee. has made the best
report this year on the development
OF education in Kentucky that has ever
been made from this state. Crabbe
says: I'VE propose to keep the ball
rolling in Kentucky until the battle Is
three plans for the campaign next
year. The first plan is to collect FIVE
or six men who are experts in the line
OF campaign work, and have them
cover the entire state, going from
county to county. speaking two or
three times a day. The second plan Is
TO have campaign during the fall.
while the schools are in session. to
cover a period OF GO days, allowing the
local school authorities to select day
or days for the speaking. The third
plan is to have the third whirlwind
campaign with some minor changes
from the former campaign, and let IL
be conducted for a week" During the
last three months Crabbe reports that
there have been 332 new schoolhouses
built, costing S20s.157; that there
have been 1885 schoolhouses repaired,
costing s6i,610. and that there has
been spent s6s.2S4 for furniture and
equipment of the schools; that AL
districts have been abolished or con-
solidated; that the average rate of
levy is 10 and that the average rate
OF poll tax Is so. During the past year
81 counties have established one high
school, ~ counties have opened two,
two have established three and one
county has established five county
high schools. There is only one coun-
ty OF the 119 TO report that there is no
need of a high school. During the
year there has been a levy for local
taxation to the schools in every coun-
ty in the state except three. The at
tendance for the current year has been
greatly increased and there has been
a lengthenlng of the average term, in
many Of the counties. much beyond
six months. So that there are few
counties in the state that will have no
school with a term less than eight to
nine months.
