INDIANS IN j.
S. DYING OUT
Greater Attendance Of
Children at School,
However

Washington. ID c.. July l7.-Decress-
ing vitality OF full-bloo,led Indians. q
much lower rate OF gro nth than among
the whites and an increasing attendance
at school are some OF the salient features
of the report made by the Census Bureau
on the Indians I'm the United States. Ii
10 alec brought out that the Osaees. the
richest OF the tribes, pay heavy income
taxes, a. they own valuable oil lands,
and some of them travel about the West
in hieh-powered automobiles.
There were 265,6S3 Indians in the
United states, exclusive Of Alaska AMI
the insular possessions, in 1910. OF this
number - per cent live i'm Oklahoma
There are 2sO tribes, comprising 81 lin
gui-tic stocks. The most important
tribes numerically are the Cherokee. with
II $50; the Navajo, with 22,455; the
Chippewa, with 5o.2ii, and the Choc-
tsw, with 1881.
Statistics show that the children oil
mixed marriages are more healthy than
those between full-blooded Indians. In.
dications are that the full-hlooded Indian,
Will shortly disappear because OF the
many deaths OF full-booded Indians. The
practice of poIyghny still exists. though
to comparatively light extent.
The enrolment Of pupils in Indian
schools Is increasing much more rapidly
than the Indian population. In Iso,
there werc 2i6 such schools, with an en-
rolIment OF 1887, and in 1910, $50
schools with an enrolment Of 3I,g3O.
These figures do not. however. cover the
attendance of Indians at other than In
dian schools. The total school attend
ance OF members OF this race in 1910, a.
shown by the last census, was ~, Is.
To quote from the report: "As COM
pared with the whites and Negroes in
the United states, il appears that the In
disn youth between six and nine years
attended scnool in 1910 in smaller pro-
portions than the children of either the
white or Negro races; thai those between
ten and fourteen surpassed the Negro, and
that tho-c between fifteen and nineteen
outrsnked both the other raos. This
after fact Is the result in part OF the more
or less compulsory attendance upon
many reservations Of the youth ND 10 l.
years Of age"

The First annual Made-In-

Little Rock last week was de-
.cided success. 1t was witnessed
by thousands, and the exhibits
were a revelation to all. So sue
cessful was it considered by the
promoters, that it is to be made
a regular event, and it will un-
doubtedly become one of the
great factors in promoting the
sale of home manufactured
goods in Arkansas. 1t will be
broadened in its scope, and if
the expectations are realized it
will become one of the greatest

Demonstration Agent
A Valuable Man

The Journal is especially
pleased to note the fact that
the Quorum Court of Indepen-

stantial appropriation for a
farm demonstration agent IN
this county.
The Journal believes that no
greater work was undertaken
in Arkansas than the farm
demonstration work.
Through tbs work, practical
knowledge is CARED directly to
the farm, and that good results
are obtained cannot be denied,
From every county where
this work has been done in a
thorough and practicalmanner,
the results show up the same.
Better crops and larger crops.

freed of the destructive cattle
tick, and hogs have been Ii
berated from the deadly hog
cholera. The boys have been
taught that scientific farming
will produce two bushels of
corn where one produced be-
before, and girls have been
taught to turn their youthful
energy to practical results.

There have been no further
developments in the political
situation during the past week.
1t is believed that the guberna-
torial list is closed with the pos
sible exception of Gov. Hays,
who continues to play waiting
game. Messrs. McRae, Brough,
Hodges, Smith and Crocketta are
actively campaigning, and it is
believed that all of these will
run through. The entrance of
Gov. Hays into the arena will
make some radical changes in
the lineup.
