WOULD TEACH INDIANS
SCIENTIFIC LEARNING

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Oct. 1s.-Plans were
set afoot at today's session of the frs.
congress of American Indians here for
training the men of the red race into
the scientific methods of agriculture.
The fitness of the red man for this. par
ticular field of work was strongly en-
phasized and extension of the work
urged.
Charles Dixon, expert mechanic OF
New York, urged the training of the lns
dian in mechanical fields. and pointed to
the primitive contrivances of the red
men as showing inherent instincts in this
direction. He suggested that special in
structors be sent among the Indian
tribes for developing the instincts and
bringing the Indian into practical service
in this trade.
The domestic side of Indian character
was emphasized in an address by Mrs.
Anna Wilde, head Of the home making
department of the Indian institute at
Fort Berthold. ND. she argued that
training of the Indians in home making
would do more to advancing them to an
equality to the white race than any
other work.
