their barrack-like dormitory. They were

Is brave enough to tell the truth. There
are orchards all through this country.
No farmer will say that an Indian ever
stole any of his fruit. Our students do
not trespass on other peoples property.

1t is supposed TO be divided among civ

THE wife remained at home, cooked
the food of the family, and made such
clothing as was customary to be worn.
Man breasted all the dangers of his
family and his tribe. Woman kept
the wigwam.
Never Whip Their Children.
History is filled with the atrocities
of the Indians. The records We have,
however, were written by their white
enemies The fighting of civilized ma
tions today is said to be much like the
fighting of the savages which we look
upon with horror. Scalping was in
part a ceremony. Armies all over the
world are now preparing to drop
bombs from the air on their adver-
saries. The Maine was blown up in
Havana. The scalping of a man al
ready dead is. by comparison, a hu-
name performance.
No one has ever heard of an Indian
mother whipping her children. No one
has ever heard of an Indian father
whipping his children. 1 censure the
Indians for the indifference they show
in maintaining wholesome discipline in
their families. But IL the red man
were naturally cruel he would give ex-
hibitions of cruelty in his tepee, and
we would hear of Indian women slap

jerking them around by their arms

as a teacher, I reached the conviction
that our American white children were
being improperly educated. The gram

getting them ready for colleges and uni
versities- There are 100000 pupils In
our public schools today. Less than 5

age of fourteen to learn a trade or to

newspapers and magazines I thought our
system of education was utterly imprac-
ticable IL not ridiculous
Thus 1 was led into trying out my
theories among our own Indians. No one
ever thought of them as being fit SUBJ
jects for medicine. law, engineering and
chemistry. Their well being, every one
said, lay in agriculture and the minor
and common industries. The idea was
