question at first regarding the aG-
mission of the Indians to the school
and the matter was referred II
superintendent Lewis. He assure |
the patrons of the school that the
matter was wholly within their
province as to whether or not the
Seminoles should attend; and it WI ;
then agreed that they might max e
a try at the proposition.
These pupils are most observant.
1t seems odd to see these men Of
larger growth attentive to the
primer-but so closely do they adj
here to their studies that several of
them will make a number of grade 3
during the present term. Quiet and

and they possess the trait of strict
attention TO their lines of duty
which could be emulated with profit

GREATEST OF ALL
HUMAN INSTITUTIONS

! look upon marriage as the great
est o. all human institutions
think it is an immense success and
that woman, not man, has made it
so. Without it the human family
would fall into swift and complete
disintegration.
Whether marriage comes out OF
the family or the family out of mar
riaga is metaphysical question that
does not trouble me. What | see
the world is a mighty force that
holds the children of men together
as nothing else could.
| think marriage has justified it
SELF that the majority of marriages
are happy ones and that. taken to-
gether, they constitute the mightiest
factor in the welfare of humanity.
My experience has been that this is
true all the world over, and among
all sorts and conditions of people
who wear coronets and the people
who sit on thrones.
But l also think that if marriee
as an institution has been bless
ing to the human family it has not
been by virtue of any legal con-
tracts or religious sacraments what
soever, but solely by the operation
of that beautiful natural Law which
