The committee on course OF
study for the United States Indian
schools recently convened by the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
Mr.. Cato Sells, after several weeks
work in conference at Washington
has completed IL course of study
which will give to the Indians the
hest vocatioal training offered by
any school system in the q. s.
As these schools must train In
dian youth of both sexes to assume
the duties and responsibilities of
self-support and citizenship, this
course strongly emphasizes voca-
tional training.
1t is divided into three divis-
ions. The first is the beginning
stage. the second the finding stage
and the third the finishing stage.
During the first and second peri
ods the training in domestic and
Industrial activities centers around
the conditions essential to the i'm
pr"vement and proper mainten
ance of the home and farm. The
course outlined in the prevoca-
tional division is unique in the fact
that IN addition to the regular aca.
demic subjects, the boys are re-
qnired to take practical courses in
farming. in gardening. dairying,
farm carpentry, farm blacksmith
ing, farm engineering, farm ma
sonry, farm painting. shoe and
harness repairing, and all girls are
required to take courses in home
cooking. sewing, laundering, nnrs-
ing, poultry raising and kitchen
gardening.
This course not only prepares
the Indian youth for Industrial
efficiency but at the same time
helps them to find those activities
for which they are best adapted
and to which they should apply
themselves definitely during the
vocational period, the character
aad amount of academic work be-
ing determined by its relative
value and Importance as a means
of solving the problems of the
farmer, mechanic and wife.
Non essentials are eliminated.
Onehalf of each day is given to
industrial training and the other
half to academic studies. All
effort is directed toward training
Indian boys and girls for efficient
and useful llves0under the condi-
tions which they must meet after
leaving school. Other objects to
which this course directs special
attention are health, motherhood
aud .child-welfare, ciyics, commu-
nifty meetings and extension work.

petition was exceedingly close. The
Grand CentralS won out by margin
of three pins, their score for the three
games being 1.243. Mrs. Vogelsberger's
splendid bowling was practically re-
sponsible for the victory of the Grand
Centrals. She sailed right in at the
first game. In the second contest she
registered the highest game score of
the evening. knocking down 113 pins.
The last count Melted her SO. and the
three gave her set of 293. the best
total of the night. Mrs. Nogelsberger
WAS the star of the play, she not
only did brilliant work in the five
player team event but also rolled well
enough in the doubles with her partner,
Miss Williams, to take first place in
that class also. Mrs. lseman and Mrs.
D""ltwau were second i'll the doubles.
Miss Eckhardt. anchor and captain of
the Royals, got the next best score, her
set being rs. She barely beat by one
pin the count of Mrs. Malcolm, who
rolled second for the Royals. Miss
Eckhardt's scores We're so. 1O1 and SO.
Mrs. Iseman did the next best bowling
for the Grand CentralS, having 81, II
and 90. Miss Williams National Capt.
tai team fell below the figure expected
for it. although it was only twenty-one
pins behind the winners. Miss Eek
hardt also obtained the best set in the
candlepin singles in the special roll
ing, doing some excellent work.
The Arcade woman'S team got the
best score in the opening game and the
numerous rooterS in the stand for that
Guint went almost wild. However, the
team dropped to 31S in the second con-
test. While the Grand Centrals accom-
