Nothing, perhaps, could more clear
ly set forth the advancement made
by the Indians In the arts of ciyili-
zation than is here displayed, cover
ing as they do the practical work
ing out of the governments theory
of manual training as the ultimate
idea in the scheme of education, a
theory that will sooner or later be
adopted in the public schools of the
whites. The children enter in
the kindergarten class and gradually
ly work their way onward by steady
gradations to the elementary studies
but always with the idea ever in
view of training their hands to ac-
complish practical work that will fit
them to take positions in the world
of craftsmen. Their adaptabiity is
proven by the fact that although en-
tered against open competition in all
lines the Indian Schools have carri-
ed off a number of premiums over
their white competitors.

space will not permit OF a detailed
list of the beautiful exhibits of fam
cy needle work and examples of the
culinary art that are on display In
the section under the supervision of
Mrs. Bendle. Even man can appre-
ciate some of the dainty pieces of
art needle work almost equally with
the delicious looking loaves of bread
pies and cakes that form part OF
this section at the pavilion, devoted
to domestic science.
The Livestock Exhibit
Never in the history of the New
ada State Fair has such varied. ex-
tensiye and interesting showing OF
thoroughbred livestock been made as
was spread before the visitors to
Fallon at the State Fair Grounds
last week. So fast did the demands
for space reservations come into the
management of this department that
they were literally swamped despite
the most strenuous efforts to build
additional stalls and pens at the en-
closure.
