How SavageS Are Taught PraCti-
cal Things in Southwest.
Institution Conducted by w. T. Shell.
ton Of Shiprock, N. NJ, on the Nav
aio servaton-Chldren Pre-
fer Outdoor Work.

Shiprock, N. Mt is only within
the last few years that the practical
note has been emphasized in the edu-
cation of the Indian child, and the re-
suits have been so hopeful that those
who were beginning to despair of the
Indians future are taking new view
of the situation.
1t used to be that when the subject
of Indian education was brought up,
people were told to investigate the
work being carried on at the Carlisle
and other non-reservation Indian
schools. But now there are many res
ervation schools which afford an in.
teresting study IN practical accom-
plishment.
The Indian school that is generally
accepted as a model for the entire In
dian service is conducted by Superln-
tendent w. T. Shelton at Shiprock, N.
NJ, on the Navajo Indian reservation.
The agency and school were estab-
llshed by Mr.. Shelton about eight
years ago. Surrounding the school
and agency buildings are several hun.
dred acres Of beautifully cultivated
farm land. There is a fine herd Of
dairy cows in the barnyard and the
boys take turns at the milking in the
model dairy house.
About the agency one finds children
engaged in many useful tasks. A
trained seamstress is teaching a class
of girls the intrlcacies of needlework.
Other girls, who are under the watch
full eye of the matron, are fitting about
the building, sweeping, making beds or
washing dishes. The big boys are
caring for the live stock, and the

The president paused and startled
glances passed around the table, Aft

secretary went on:

Grimm. He stood silent a moment,
staring at the president. Some subtle
change crept into the listless eyes,
and his lips were set. Perhaps l had

president. Just how, Mr.. Grimm,
does the personal equation enter into

The young mans lips closed tightly,

These Lies Nailed in March

The following from the New York
Post OF March %, seems to have an
ticipated the speech OF George Fred
Williams at the Clark meeting or last
night, held in Harmonic hall:
Woodrow Wilson denied two cam
paign canards today. They were or
the sort that had been set afloat by
those interested In having Champ
Clark nominated for president. One
was the charge that the New Jersey
governor had not voted for Bryan In
1908 and consequently was not reg
ular Democrat The other was the
inference drawn from the statements
in Wilson's History OF the American
People concerning immigrants.
The governor said he had voted
for Bryan and he wrote TO a man in
Chicago that, OF course, he never
wrote or thought that the Chinese la
borer was the superior OF the. average
high class European immigrant.

Story About a Picture

900 people OF the year 1862 A. d.
They've had near 1000 ykars<~ OF
Christs teachings and 5000 yeafs OF
other teachings. They're civilized,
educated, christianized. They've
fought for justice, bled for freedom
and equality. and arrived at what
they call OF high state of human de-
yelopment in every respect But the
vast majority OF them are very hun
gry-hungry for food, clothes, shelter,
equality, freedom, LIES comforts, hap
piness, In fact they are hungrier than
we were back there in 1862 B. c.,
when we had our caves and our bear
skin aprons or goatskin blankets, and
only wanted food.
Isn't 1t very likely indeed that the
millions Of 1862 A. d., will cure the
situation as our situation in 1862, b.
c., was cured? Sure, unless We find
some better method than arbitrary
conflscation and division.
