Indians Study Domestic Science

Indians study domestic OclenCc
Prof. and Mrs. Hoffman of Shell
Creek, an Indian town on the Berthold
Reservation, were in the city Wednes-
day, having driven over with their
daughter, who left on No. 80 for Min
neapolis, where she will attend COL
lege. Professor Hoffman in CONVEX
sation with a representative of the
Independent, related many interesting
particulars regarding his experiences
in the government schools with which
he has been identified for the past %
years. On the Berthold reservation
the government maintains three day
schools and besides these two denom-
national schools have been establish
ed. The regulations prescribe a
course of study very similar to the
course followed in the public schools
of the state. Domestic science comes
in for large share of attention and
taken all in all the progress of the
students will compare favorably,
grade for grade, with that of the or
binary schools Of the rural districts.
The professor has charge of the
schools at Shell Creek, his wife, a
former Michigan lady is also teach
err in this school, having charge of the
domestic science department.

Unusual Effects in Rugs and I Iangings

Though the robins are not yet on
their way north, it is not too soon
to think of summer hangings and
furnishings, for even now the stocks
of new fabrics have arrived. and
skilled labor that will be scarce
later on may now be had without
long delays. Therefore, the home
keeper who is wise is selecting new
wallpapers even now, and choosing
the draperies and rugs which VIII

summer backgrounds not many
months away.
England has contributed the
most beautiful of the new cretonnes,
although the word "cretonne" ap-
plies to SO many sorts of materials

sary to explain that these new i'm
portations are printed linens of un-
usual quality. The colorings are
very lovely. In one pattern, dos
wood riots in borrowed shades Of
dull yellow. tan and the deep mari
gold shades; in another, a French
panel effect is used in dull blue and
violet tints; and still another has a
turquoise background and a design
of brilliant parrots. These English
linens are of extra width, and are
heavy enough so that they can be
split and bound for window cur
tains. For pillows, they are most
suitable, az their width makes them
easily adaptable to cushion max
ing.
