Six years OF instruction are given
and at the end of that time the pupils
are prepared to go into any one. of
the Indian colleges for further voca-
tional training, or to go out to their
farms knowing the best ways to do
things in the home and in the fields.
The boys are taught, for instance,
gardening, d~airying, farming, stock
raising, farm carpentry, farm black
smithing, farm engineering, farm
masonry, farm painting, shoe and
harness making, and poultry rails
ing. The girls are taught sewing,
laundering, home training, cooking,
poultry raising and nursing. These
subjects r divided into weeks, in
total, and %alternated SO that there
are classes in every subject all of the
time. With every course there Is
, practical training. Whatever they
are taught they actually do at the
school. All the work at the institu-
ton is done with the assistance Of
details of students. A detail of girls
will be assisting In the kithcen and
dining room, another cleaning up and
making beds. A detail of boys will
do the milking each morning, an
other the feeding of the stock in the
evening. They alternate by days,
going on duty at noon, and getting
off the next noon. The boys leave
this school with actual experience in
every part of farm work and the
girls are equipped to manage a home.
Every days program, with the
changing details, the alternating SUBJ
jects, is worked out in advance, so
that all thru the year everything
follows schedule. Even social train
ing is managed, in connection with
evening diversions. Ball room Ell
quette is adhered to at the dances,
which they have each week. A GER
tain time is set aside each day for
outdoor athletics. There is a base
ball ground and plenty of playground
equipment, swings, teeters, giant
stride rings and so forth.
1t is no wonder the results are
good. Equipment Of the best and
teachers who put themselves enthusi-
astically into the work are bound to
bring results. The government
schools have been always far in the
lead, here and in the Philippines.
They have fostered vocational train
ing until it is fast creeping into every
school system in the land. And so
we all hope the Fort Hall exhibit
will continue to be an object lesson
at the county fairs.

Work Entered by Fort Hall Indian
School Attracts Special
Attention

The exhibit buildings were well
patronized at the fair grounds last
week. The paintings and sketches OF
Harry Crandal. a resident of Black
foot, deserved the high praise. they
received on every hand. His picture
of the Lone Wolf" in the midst OF
a heavy blizzard was a little master
piece.
Perhaps the most popular booth
in either building was that one con-
tanning the display entered by the
Fort Hall Indian school, of which
W. P. Squires is principal. R. A.
Ward, who is connected with the
reclamation service and stationed at
Fort Hall, assisted Mr.. Squires and
the teachers in getting up their re-
markable exhibit.
For some reason or other, perhaps
misunderstanding, the manual train
inc, basketry and needle work of the
Indian school children were not al
lowed to compete for prizes with the
schools of Bingham county. Had this
been allowed they would undoubtedly
have carried off several premiums,
as there was nothing to compare with
their basketry, and their two pieces
of cabinet work, a fine oak table and
a book rack, were above the class
of the white children's entries under
those heads. Competing as individ-
uals, aside from the school, the In
dams took several premiums. Under
the heading of the "Most Artistic
Arrangement Of Grains, Grasses and
Seeds" they received a first prize.
In the poultry division they took first
prize with a coop of red wyandot
chickens. They also captured a first
prize for watermelon preserve, and
a second for apple jelly. A fancy
hand made rag rug, sewed with a
machine was awarded a blue ribbon.
The feature of the Fort Hall ex-
hibit was a large likeness done in
portrait form of Chief Many Seeds,
legendary ruler for the occasion, over
the realm of vegetable seeds. He
was pictured upon canvass and he
was composed altogether of garden
seeds and grains, 40 varieties of
them. His dignifed profile stood out
in shaded kernels of wheat and was
lined with barley seed. His beedy
eye was created out of asparagus
seed, and his feather headdress was
made of oats and lettuce. In every
detail he stood out in seedy perfec-
ton. a true tribal chief, having a GER
tain vegetable repose that spoke for
the domestic evolution of the red
man. These 40 kinds Of seed were
carefully chosen from those which
can easily be made into crops in
Idaho. The work was done by Prof.
Squires and his staff of teachers at
the school.
There were other interesting
things in that exhibit, among them
a few darned socks. Those socks
needed darning badly, too, and the
work was expertly done. so that the
patches were a part of the footing
just as if knitted in. With such a
housekeeper a man would never need
fear to take off his shoes in the

man in whose tepee dwelt the author
of that mending.
Some excellent hand and machine
sewing, and bead work bid for ad-
miration with no less appeal. The
children's art work showed a real
artistic quality found seldom in the
primary Grades of public schools. In
cutting out illustrations for the
stories told by the teacher these little
Indian tots take the head of the
class. Grown folks couldn't do so
we'll without considerable training.
The animals were especially life-like.
And these were creations, drawn
from the imagination as the tales
were told in class rooms.
And so folks marveled because all
this work was done by Indian child
rem. They support the public school
system and think it Is just about
right. They would not admit that
the six grades of pre-vocational train
ing given at the Fort Hall school are
equal to seven grades in the ordi-
nary public school, and in many
cases, we fear, superior. But it is
not marvellous and the cause are
easy to discover. Government teach
ers consider their work as a mission.
They work in a professional way and
take a pride in results. If a visitor
comes to the school they show him
the various departments with pride,
just as an artist will take out his
pictures for the %appreciative guest.
They all have a personal interest in
what they are doing and helping to
do.
The Fort Hall agency, too, is one
Of the oldest and ranks among the
highest in point of efficiency. Horton
H. Miller is superintendent Of the
agency. He entered the service in
1884. It is his life work, his profess
sion. He knows Indian affairs bet
ter than most state officials know
state affairs.
Mr.. Squires is also an old timer
in the service, having entered it in
1901 and in the mean time has work
ed on reservations in the Dakotas, in
Montana and New Mexico. He also
has a hobby, his profession. He is
an enthusiastic student of the pre-
historic people who lived in the pueb-
los and cliff dwellings of the south
west. He became an authority on
the subject of Clusters last fight
while stationed at Grow, Montana.
1t might be interesting to know how
he plans a years work ahead for the
200 tribal children who will soon
be gathered into the fold for the
winter. The school is composed of
a group of five buildings, including
dormitories. laundry, dining hall,
hospital. There are several barns
for cows, horses and hay. The build
ings stand on a tract of 1872 acres
of land which is farmed mostly with
the help of the older boys, and such
work, with caring for the stock, is
a part of the curriculum. Everything
the pupils use, from tooth brushes
to books, is furnished to them. All
their clothes are made right at the
school and in the making the girls
receive training in sewing.
