INDIAN JEWELRY.

Unlike many of the arts and crafts
of the American Indian the work Of
! the Navajo silversmith is showing no
deterioration. In fact those who are
in position to judge state that some
of the modern examples Of native sill
versmithing of the Navajo Reserva.
ton are superior in every way to the
best examples Of earlier work of the
redskinned craftsmen of the forge.
The Navajo silyersmith uses only
the crudest implements in making his
silverware. His forge is square Of
stone and adobe, the center having a
round depression for fireplace. The
smoke is carried off and a draft Great
ed by two wooden tubes covered with
adobe to keep from burning walled
into the rear of the forge. His bellows
is made Of sheepskin, and his anvil Is
a hard stone or piece of iron. Amy
silversmith who can get piece Of rail-
road iron is looked upon with envy by
his fellow-craftsmen who must use
FORCES Of cruder material. The cruel
bles for melting the silver are of hard
clay, and are generally about the size
of tumblers, with round bottoms, and
with curved rims provided with spouts
for pouring off the molten metal.
Three molds which are used by the
native silversmiths are generally cut
out of hard sandstone and are creased
with mutton tallow. Charcoal is used
for fuel, the Indians being very clever
at making it from juniper logs. Gener.
ally the smiths blowpipe Is a piece Of
hollow brass tubing. For polishing he
uses sandstone and ashes and for chas.
ing and engraving unique designs on
the silVerware he uses nothing more
than pocket-knives, avis and small
files.
With such implements the Navajo
silversmith has been working for the
last so years, there being no record OF
silversmithing in the tribe previous to
that date. The Indians do not care fol-
more elaborate implements, but cling
to the tools with which they have been
familiar for years. The effects they Sc.

PATRIOTISM THAT WOULD PAY

City bankers affect to have all OF
their delicate little feelings rudely

remark that if he were able Ito coin
into cash the advice which has been
freely rendered us, the State could pay
off its S11 ,OOO,OOO debt and have money
to spare" OF course, the bankers
best know why they should take this
remark especially to themselves since
they have not been alone in offering
advice and suggestion. Perhaps 1t Is
a twinge of conscience, who can tell?
At any rate, 1t is not Gov. Hall, but
these self-same bankers, who appear
before the public to-day, and will so
pass on into history, as having done
nothing thus far to help their State
out Of its dilemma.
Sometimes patriotism pays in dollars
and cents as we'll as glory, and to-day
is possibly one of the times. With the
whole world looking this way, on &C.
count of the opening of the Panama
Canal, it is a poor advertisement for
the State to be fruitlessly hawking Its
bonds, when the great banks Of the
state could easily handle them. On
the other hand, what a splendid ad-
vertisement it would be should diff
ferent course be pursued. 1t would Of
fer an example Of patriotism that
would bring returns in increased i'm
migration and prosperity, that would
amply offset the temporary sacrifice,
of taking 4 per cent instead of forcing
Az per cent interest on these bonds.

RETRoeREssIoN SUGGESTED.

We sincerely trust that the School
Boards of the state will not pass favo-
rably upon the suggestion of State
Supt. Harris to reduce the regular
term OF rural schools to seven months.
In his circular to that effect, which
was quite generally published last
week, Mr.. Harris makes the suggess
ton on the plea that country pupils
lose great deal Of time from school,
on account Of being taken out in the
spring to help prepare the crops and
in the fall to harvest them. 1t is ad-
mitted that such conditions are only
too prevalent, but any shortening of
the school session cannot be consider
ed as adequately meeting the difficulty,
besides doing irreparable injury and
injustice to those children who man
age to attend school in spite of home
needs.
Mr. Harris says that he has, on Wis
iting rural schools, found not more
than half Of the pupils present on &C.
count of the aforementioned reason.
This is very good percentage in the
circumstances. The law does not de-
mand more than daily average of ten
pupils presumably to one teacher) to
constitute school. II therefore the
law is satisfied with an average at
tendance Of ten children, and Is will
ing to provide advantages for that
number, then 1t should not be consid-
cred real loss however regrettable
it may be, if more pupils fail to avail
themselves Of school advantages. 1t
would be greater pity and an unjusti-
fable loss to the faithful few to cur
tail their advantages In the least de-
gree.
Furthermore, If there were no objec-
tion to Mr.. Harris suggestion, IL would
still fall short Of meeting it's ostensible
Object-full attendance of pupils
since the term proposed from August
to March l, only partially covers the
trouble, as 1t makes no provision for
the withdrawal of school children in
the fall, when, In cotton-growing sec
tions, the greatest demand for their la.
Dor occurs. There is no way of meet
ing this difficulty except by an all-year
term, with such vacations, as local
needs require.
This would be practical but hardly
practicable at present. But it would
be far wiser to consider such method
of covering the trouble than to talk Of
shortening the present school term.
The latter spells retrogression pure
and simple, and we hope that the
School Boards will so regard it.
At this iuncture, it should instead be
the constant study of school authori-
ties to make the rural schools so inter-
esting. so valuable, that neither par
ents nor pupils will be willing to lose
one day. 1t is indifference to the
school, rather than actual necessity
that causes non-attendance at least
five cases out OF ten. To pander to it
by shortening the term would not do
any good. 1t would but feed, encour-
age, justify the Indifference. The at
tendance would not be improved, The
tone of the schools would be lowered,
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1913-06-28

and the regular pupils would suffer
unjustly.
Since the above was put in type, the
Farmers Union Of East Baton Rouge
expresses strong disapproyal of~S %
suggestion of Mr.. Harris, and calls for
a full nine month term. May all other
communities be equally level.headed.
