Mdkc INDUCES IOI r d1f Commencement week at the United States Indian school is always a time of great interest to both pupils and visitors, for during that week the wards of the nation as the pupils of these schools are often called by some folks who talk more than they do. The occasion of the visitors to the big school north of the city yes terday afternoon was demonstra- ton day, the third annual event of it's kind in the history of the Phoe- nix institution. Demonstration day with the Indian school is nothing more than series of dress parades to which the general public is in Vited, and to which they generally go with a great deal of pleasurable in- terest
 | Every department of the schools activity demonstrates for the edifica- tion of the visitors. This was true yesterday. From the opening of the [ afternoon session of the school visit ors streamed through first the little red school house department, where i the work in common branches is i conducted and were excellent speci mems of the work of the students in these branches are placed on the walls and thereabout so the visitors may see, to the music department where a short concert was given by about 100 students-patriotic songs being chiefly sung; to the manual training and domestic science depart ments of the school on out on the campus where after a while the com petitive drills were conducted be- tween the companies
 The domestic science departments iattracted the ladies-such splendid needlework is rarely seen outside of the state fair exhibitions and then from the Indian school The work in the kitchen department, where cakes bread and doughnuts were being made delighted all the visitors. A taste of the doughnuts and drink of fine fresh buttermilk made before there very eyes" added still further to the stock of information obtained.
