Returning to Nature.

In western New South Wales and
western Queensland, Australia, black
aboriginal stockmen are common.
Many Of the landholders have inter-
ested themselves in the training Ct tEa
young aborigines, teaching many CT
them to read and write51,and bringing
them UP side by side with the white
children. The result has not been
very encouraging. Says a writer: i
uaye known several instances where
aboriginal tribes Of both sexes Wers
taken completely away from their peo-
reople and brough. up in white FAM
liz. They we're taught various &C
eomplishments, and spoke English just

invariably, on the first opportunity,
they relarsed into barDarlsm 'and
soon the only trace Of tE;!r upDrlns-
ing that remained to them was their
faultless English. One native girl

Undoubtedly the best black stock
man that I ever knew fell away IN the
same fashion. He had been brought

vas noted for his scrupulous cleanlt-
less and Gandyish care for his clothes.
On horseback he could hold his OWE
easily with the best men On the sta
