DIR. Wagner pronounces the

success. "The enthusiasm with
which the teachers began the work,
within two days Of the closing" !"
he says, "shows practically no sign
of waning. The theory that there
can be no such thing as good work

all. The idea that rest is merely

Illustrated throughout the entire ses-
sion. The teachers have found the
benefits derived and the enthusiasm
gained from personal contact with
the professors and the enlarging of
their circle of friends, make the
pleasant feature the predominant
one in the school. There is no
doubt that this department will be-
come a permanent part of the
work of the College. 1t is planned
to offer a wider range of work next
year, so that those who have al

special line will remember it as a
mere beginning to be followed in
a more advanced form next year. !"

affairs Mr. Mccullough has taken
much interest in farming and edu-

An interesting tallzer, in remini-

Proctor, Mckinley, Quay, Lodge,
Roosevelt-all with an intimacy
and keen observation Of their striS-

public men, his material success in
his work, his love for old Della

INDIAN CITIZENSHIP.
(Oregon Journal.)

Underneath the apparent stolidity
of the American Indian lies a deer
vein of patriotism To reach this pa
triotism and excite it into action that
will lead to citizenship is the object
, of the Rodman Wannamaker Exposi-
tion of Citizenship, which win this
week visit the reservations of eastern
Oregon and Washington.
The expedition is an altruistic one
out of which may come something
practical towards the preservation OF
a vanishing race which has had its
warriors and its noble men and wo.
men.
In having the indian swear allegi-
ance to the stars and stripes the pur.
pose. is to bring him to the realiza-
! ton that he has a country and that
his path leads to citizenship through
the gate of education He is today a
man without a country. His every sen
sibility and the ardor of his spirit
have been deadened and crushed. Tt
him the American flag is the stand
ard Of conqueror. 1t only represents
cruelty and death.
Whatever the glory of having peo-
pied a new continent and built cities
where once roamed the red man
through wood and stream and over
plain, it will never remove the stain
of the crime of the white man who
obbed and destroyed his weaker
brother in doing so. Ownership of the
land was the Indians only fault. II
he had come as a refuge from for
eign shore. how kind would have
been his fate. To him would have
been given opportunity and place
But as the original possessor Of the
land he has been robbed by the white
man and hunted as a creature fit
only to be destroyed by beneficent
civilization. It Is a common belief
that the Indian cannot Withstand the
forces ofs civilization but this is dis
proved by the virility he has shown
in his clinging to life under circum-
stances in which a white man would
have persisted
Like all primitive peoples the In
dian is intensely sensational. He
only needs an ideal to follow. He has
passed through the life OF a nomad
and has been crucified on the system
of reservations.
A fruitless attempt has been made
to make Of him an agriculturist be-
fore he was prepared. If he is to sur
vive the next step is to fit him for
citizenship. Like a child he must be
taught what the flag means in the
conception Of citizenship. The sym
bolism Of its stripes and stars can be
easily grasped by his poetic power
in its search for an ideal to follow in
his upward climb towards citizen
ship.
1t is beautiful thought that how
ever much the dealings of the white
man with the Indian may be lament
ed we are face to face with a respon-
sibility that beckons from the folding
wigwam and the dying echo Of moe
casined feet.

work that could not have been car

However. DR.. Dixon is doing COM
prehensive work. He is not merely
gathering record to be maintained
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-09-03

at Fort Wadsworth. He is also giving
the Indian a beautiful lesson in pat
riotism. He brings them under the
flag-not under the flag that always
flies at the agency and to the Indians
represent governmental control, but
under a banner that is their own. BY
this symbolism the Indians are made
to understand that they are not merely
under the government. but are also a
part of the government. They are
governed, but they may also be the
governors. The way is open If they
can but use it and some are doing so,
as is attested by the fact there are
Indians in both the house and the SEN
ate at Washington, and in the fact the
new registrar of the treasury is an
Indian.
This lesson is the most useful les
son the Indians can be given. They
know the sun is fast setting on their
old-time life and that they must bid
that day goodbye forever. But the
dawn of citizenship is at hand and
it offers rays of hope for the young
people If not for the old men. The
hope of the Indian for the future lies
in adapting himself to the changed
conditions. He must learn to COM
pete with the white man in a com
mercial and an industrial sense. The
rules Of the game are inexorable and
he must abide by the dictates of prog
ress or go down.
Naturally the first step in this
transformation Of the redman must
be a mental change The old ideal
ism must give way to the new. The
Indian must come to love progress
rather than reaction. He must open
his eyes and look to the rising, not
to the setting sun. This is all in the
message that DR.. Dixon brings them
and it cannot fail to accomplish good.
The missin Of Dr. Dixon is very
worthy mission.
