There was a ten dollar bill in To-
peka the other morning of which 1t
would be safe to bet that it was in no
more different pockets in one day than
any other bill in the city.
A man came to work in a Topeka
office with a nice new ten dollar bill.
Later in the morning, as he was ready
to leave the office he went to a friend,
Say. my wife is coming in this morn
ing after some money. 1 am not GO
ing to be here all morning so you give
it to her." Then the second man was
forced to leave and he passed the ten
to a third. Later the third man pass
ed it to a fourth. 1t is not known ex-
actly how many other men had the
honor and privilege of carrying the
ten around BY noon the first mans
wife had still failed to appear and
the bill started in on the back track
Then the original owner started out
to find what had become of 1t. No
one man seemed to know any more
than that one gave it to him and he
gave it to another. 1t was never
learned whether the wife got the
money or the husband lost it in a poker
game later in the day.

High Indian Birth Rate &iOes Hope

American Tribes No Longer

Intensified Educational Cam

The new policy OF the Govern

to the Indian population OF the
United States and thus to break up
the old Indian reservation system,
gives rise to problem Of race
amalgamation which the Episcopal
Church in its Nationwide Cam
paign is facing as an immediate
task.
The Episcopal Church has long
been ministering TO the Indian pop
ulation OF the country in its isolated
but rather compact groups, but
with the iminent scattering Of the
Indians among the white popula-
tion, comes a still more pressing
demand, a demand which the
Church will cndeavor Immediately
to meet Medical aid, schools, re-
ligious instruction and vocational
training are all means to the end
OF making the Indian ready for
modern Christian society, accord
ing to the vast program of activities
as laid down by the preliminary
survey of the Nationwide Cam
paign.
Nurses and physicians will preach
the gospel OF clean and sanitary
living conditions, and treat the In
dians for their bodily ills. A high
mortality rate has prevailed among
all the tribes during the past years.
due to a lack of proper sanitation
and hygiene, and the native vigor OF
Indian stock has been vitiatcd. The
American Indian is, however, no
longer 4 vanishing race; his birth
rate has surpassed its death rate.
Manual training schools will be
established as 4 result of the Cam
paign. and a complete system Of
grade and high school installed. A
thorough program Of religious edu-
cation will be offered and churches
will be built for community wor-
ship. Training in home economics
for the women and girls and in ag-
riculturc for the men will also be
given.
