does not show aptitude for any form OF artistic

leather and the Indian women OF the south
west have for countless generations exceled in

manufacture When an Indian girl is enabled to
use such talents in accordance with the knowl
edge OF modern art ideals which school educa
tion gives her 1t goes without saying that she
has ready to hand very agreeable and very re-
munerative means OF livelihood
School teaching is another vocation which opens
to the educated Indian girls future that is vfr-
tually closed to the redskins OF the sterner sex
There in the United States large and con-
stantly increasing number OF Indian schools
that is primary grade schools for the education OF
the younger Indian children on the reservations.-
and 1t Is coming about that almost all OF the
teachers In these schools are Indian young women
who have qualified for the work at Carlisle or
other schools and by courses in normal schools.
Indeed the OF great numbers OF these
young Indian women school teachers in earning
their livelihood by brain work while SO many OF
the Indian young men Of the period must depend
upon manual labor for their earnings emphasizes

conditions those that obtained In the long

would this explanation account for the splendid
