for those who are interested to know
the needed facts. This newspaper
attack upon the administration of
Fisk University, Is not the first one
In the same paper. Unfortunately,
1T appears at the very time when
That administration Ia putting FORTH
every possible energy Of influence
to raise 100000 Of endowment for
Fisk. 1t Is an extraordinary reve-
lation Of the difficulties which those
must face who, Negroes or white
people, are working for the uplift Of
the people.
Are there not obstacles enough
In thetpath outside the Negro peo-
pie themselves, without these be-
trayals within our own household?
This is not time for friends of
Fisk nor It's alumni to falter or to
waver In faith, nor, as an alumnus
has said, to hunt around for some
thing to "indignate" about 1t is
time for faith. The institution Is
bigger than faculty or alumni or
friends, but includes them all in its
far-reaching aim for the higher ed
ucation Of. the race. It's graduates
can show how far this education has
given them poise' and self-control.
and, better yet, faith in the good
VIII Of those who are giving their
lives to the work. The Trustees
and administration officers are men
and women of large vision and we'll
known ability for their work. They
are using their best knowledge Of
policy and administrative method
for the upbuilding Of Fisk Universi-
ty. For every helpful suggestion
and for all the hearty cooperation
Of the alumni and friends, the Trus-
tees and faculty are very grateful.
But the burden, not light, Of respon-
Isibility for the carrying out Of these
ideals, is upon the Trustees and fac
ulty.
This Ia therefore a time for every
friend of Fisk to do his part in the
task already set Of putting Fisk on
a new and permanent foundation.
The General Education Board has
Iput it's challenge to us all, Offering
! 100000 If we will raise $4,000
in addition. Towards that 100000
we nave now 81 Is, 900.
1t is also a time for alumni and
friends Of Fisk to engage them
selves not in worrying about these
UNNECESSARILY absurd REPORTS" but,
knowing the foundation on which
Fisk stands and is going to continue
to stand, to lend hand Of conf
dence and support.
The plain fact is, Fisk has just
closed the best year it has ever had,
Great progress has been made in
many respects. There have been
distinct gains in the internal life of
the institution. There has been 4
larger body of students, especially
in the upper classes, than ever be-
fore. Thirty-four, tWenty-three men
and eleven women, received the de-
gree Of Bachelor Of Arts on Com
lmencement Day, twenty Normals
graduated, and one in Music and
-four in Domestic Science. The
freshman cfaas numbered seventy
two.
1t is often remarked, especially
by those who have long served on
other college faculties, as we'll as
there, that we have an exceptionally
harmonious faculty, united in work
ing for the highest ideals common
to ALL
! The future should contain moth
ing but good for this great college

The legislature did a wise thing
in changing the Law SO that ref
erended laws hereafter will appear
on the ballot only by title. The
voter is not supposed to study
these laws on election day after he
gets his ballot and there is no
sense in having the laws printed at
length on the ballot.

than in any other week for a long
time. There were actually thir-
teen visitors, big and little, at the
same time at the IA. s. program
Friday afternoon. OF course this
is al unlucky number but the fact
that you were here more than out
balances any bad luck your mum
bers might have brought.
The program Friday was in the
hands of the Crescent tenth grade
girls so as there were but four they
each appeared on the program
several times. -Four good recita-
tions we're delivered and each re-
sponded with an encore. Two
quartettes we're sung and the four
presented a playette entitled "a
daughter. in-law., The program
was entertaining all the way thru
and the girls are to be praised for
the work they put upon it.
The best percent of attendance
this month was ID The first grade
the percent being 97.4 with twenty
four dismissed for being neither
absent nor tardy. Altogether there
we're in the school one hundred
fifty three neither absent nor tardy.

SEED CORN

We want avery farmer in Scot
land territory to bring us five
average ears of his seed corn. We
have procured one of Prof. Hold
ems Ideal Corn Testers and will
make this test FOR you. Thous-
ands of dollars lost to the farmers
every year through using poor seed
corn is a matter of vital interest to
all of US. A test of five ears is not
enough, every a should be tested,
but this test will give you some
idea of the value Of your seed.
This will mean considerable work
for US, but we are willing to do the
work and it is now up to you to
bring us the samples. Bring in
the seed at once 80 that we can
test as fast and as much as
possible.

nominal as compared with the
actual cost Of the schooling Of
fered, being largely the cost of
materials used in labratory
courses, yet when these fees are
added up for the four years, the
value of the four-year scholar
ship in hard cash amounts to
anywhere from seventy to a hum
dred and twenty five dollars, ac-
cording to the course chosen.
This is a really large cash prize,
for an excellence in scholarship
we'll worth going after for it's
own sake; and for a young per-
son ambitious to get an educa-
ton, it is really a very consider
able percentage of the cost of a
college course. A large number
of the honor students from the
Montana high schools are now
enjoying free scholarships at the
Montana State College of Agri
culture and Mechanic Arts.

Great Change

One short year has wrought a
great change in the country west
of Roman. A year ago there were
very few if any houses in all that
section west from Mud creek.
Today on almost every forty and
on every eighty are to be found
commodious cottages and the
land is all fenced and a large
part of it under cultivation. The
farmers have gone steadily ahead
and plowed and seeded their
claims and today some of the
best titled places on the whole
reservation are to be found in
that direction.
Some of the settlers were on
the ground early enough last
year to plow a portion of their
land, and those who did have
many stacks of grain to reward
them for their labor. No ma
chimes have been out that way
yet and the grain is all in the
stacks. All of them are busy
these days sowing and preparing
for next years harvest.
Some of the land out that way
was the last to be chosen, but
from the crops raised by those
who were early on the ground no
good reason can be given why it
was not all taken sooner. Very
little land is vacant there now,
the only pieces not takeg being
some badly cut up with gulches
or unusually rough.
The Pioneer predicts that a
few years hence all the land be-
tween here and the Flathead
river will be as one big garden,
covered with many fine farms
and the homes of many happy
people.

roads having been petitioned for.
They also visited the road lead

which the people travelling in
that direction will be given a
road. At present the road runs
through the land owned by w.

gulch or coulee on the land of the
latter. These men have been

than discommode anyone it has
