AN ACCOUNT OF
THE INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL AT
FORT GRANT

Mrs. Roland C. Dryer said recent
ly, 81 know you will be glad to hear
of certain improvements made re-
Gently at the Fort Grant School. The
boys and girls have weekly chorus
singing, separately, of course You
would be surprised what good voices
some of them have. The boys are
doing we'll with their new Band. By
changing some of the partition walls
in the old, dark building used as
dining-hall, Company B (the smaller
boys) will soon be having their meals
by themselves, step in the right
direction in separating them from the
older boys. Superintendent Larson
writes: II have received some very
encouraging reports from parents of
boys who have been paroled. / know
that many of them have begun to see
affairs from new point of view and
they will "make good" if they have a
fair chance. The country is full of
flowers now, the girls go out on pic
mics, some of the ladies of the Fort
being with them. This relieves the
dreadful nlonotony." But, encourag-
ing as such news is, from time to time
it all leads up to one point. / suppose
every man who has in the past been
appointed to manage Fort Grant
School, has gone thee with a desire
to do the very best he could for the
welfare of the pupils. / have not had
the full records, but l know that
several of them have not had even a
full two years term. Taking this
difficult position without any pre-
vious training whatever, spending
several months learning something
about it; getting acquainted~with the
personal lives and problems of the
boys and girls, learning to knowJsome
of the parents by correspondence.
Then it is all ended. A new man is
given the office. Much of the good
done by his predecessor is necessarily
almost entensely wasted. 1t seems so
strange that the politicians of our
various States have thought that all
most any man, provided he is de-
cent man, can run an Industrial
School. 1t requires special training
just as much as for the dry goods
trade, banking, coal mining, running
a car as motor man or engineer. In
such Schools we are trying to fit
young people to become good citizens.
In these uncertain days all over the
world, is there task of much greater
Importance?

Yesterday morning Mr.. and Mrs.
Allen T. Bird, Jr. (Tracy and wife)
returned from New York, where he
was mustered out of the military ser
vice of the United States, and is a
civilian once again, after two years
of soldering in which the young man
experienced a varied and widely ex--
tended services, That he has returned
alive gives his parents and wife
ample cause for qualification. There.
are so many families throughout the.
United States who have lost sons In
this tremendous war that it seems

DOES CLASS WAR THREATEN america?
TO PROVIDE JOBS
FOR DISABLED
YANKS

WASHINGTON5 June 2, 1919
An Executive Order recently issued
by the President and received by
cable amends the Federal ciyl!-ser-
vice rules so as TO permit the U. 5.
Civil Service Commission to waive
the physical requirements under GER
tain conditions in favor of men who
were injured in the military or naval
service.
The civil-service regulations specify
physical defects which debar from all
examinations and other defects
which will debar from certain
examinations. These regulations are
based pom the requirements of the
service as established by the several
department heads.
Upon the recommendation of the
Commission, after consultation with
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education and the U. S. Employees
Compensation Commission, the Presi-
dent issued an Executive Oorder, as
follows:
provided, that the Comission may,
in it's discretion, exempt from the
physical requirements established for
any position a disabled and honorably
discharged soldier, sailor, or marine
upon the certification of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education that
he has been specially trained for and
has passed a practical test demon
strating his physical ability to per-
form the duties of the class OF
positions in which employment is
sought"
In submitting it's recommendation
to the President the Civil Service
Commission said: \"Where it is ap-
parent to this Commission that his
(the disabled soldiers, sailors, or
marine's) physical condition is such
that he would not ordinarily be ac-
cepted, the case will be referred TO
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. That board will then de-
eide whether it practicable to educate
him for the position sought. If con-
sidered practicable, the rehabilitation
and education will be given and when
completed certification of that fact
will be made to this Commission.
Where the Board does not consider it
desirable to attempt the education for
the position sought other positions
will be considered and suggested to
him, but he will not be admitted to
the one for which his physical con-
dition constitutes an irremediable
bar"

AN OPEN LETTER
TO AMERICAN
PEOPLE
Editor. THE OASIS


We have been taught to believe in
an overruling Power which directs
and controls the affairs of the world.
Later, we have discovered that the
law of the survival of the fittest ap-
plies to nations as we'll as to in
dividuals. Those nations which have
been the most considerate of the
rights of man have civilization. The
nations which have failed in this
mission, like the Medes and the
Persians, have passed into the do
main of history. Again, we OBJ
serve that the (so-called republics)
governments where few self ap-
pointed leaders have assumed ar
rogant authority by the power of the
sword, having outlived the age to
which they belong, are destined to
pass from the earth.
At the close of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, the island of Cuba was over
run with orphans, a natural result of
the long struggle for "Cuba Libre." +"
In his annual report, Governor
General Ludlow advised the govern
n,ent to establish orphaages for these
unfortunate children that they might
be trained into good citizens instead
Of profligate beggars. This is the
spirit of America the consideration
of the Rights of Man, of humanity.
A great many people are opposed
to Intervention" They do not be-
lieve in reversing the policy which
was establish by old Prince Meter
mich (Austrian history, 1814) edo
nothing and see to it that nothing
shall be DONE" Intervention brought
an era of marvellous development and
rapid strides in intellectual, spiritual
and economic advancem ent to Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Philippines, and to
the Polynesian Islands.
And allow me to observe, the
psychological effect upon Spain
proved regenerating in many ways,
especially in their economic develop
ment and in their literature.
Some time ago, read thes most
remarkable words in a small book
written by one of the founders of our
nation:
George Washington, President of
the United States, Sir:-I am sending
you a copy Of a small treatise which
i have prepared for publication, set
ting forth those principles of liberty
which your exemplary virtue hath so
eminently contributed to establish.
With the fond hope that you may live
to see the new world regenerate the
old, / have the pleasure to remain
your humble and obedient servant,
Thomas Paine"
Paine died in 1909. It took little
over a hundred years for his hopes
to be realized-by intervention in
European affairs,
Nations as well, as individuals are
blessed by aiding downtrodden hu-
manity. The Stars and Stripes
brought peace and prosperity to the
Islands aove mentioned which have
redounded in blessings, not only to
us, but to Spain as well. Therefore,
let us keep ourselves in tune with the
Stars and Stripes whatever the
United States undertakes to do is
bound to be a success, ultimately"
and Old Glory will never 'kiss the
dust"
I Respectfully,
E. E. Cooley.

IndIa's Coal Supplies

Mr.. b. Kelway-Bamber, former su-
perintendent of rolling stock, East
Indian railway, speaking at the So
ciety of Arts, said that the coal re-
sources Of India were estimated at
7e,OO1, 100000 tons-ten times as great
as those of Japan. Europe's coal de-
posts were estimated at 784,10O, OOO,-
600 tons. OF the numerous coal fields
Of proved value in India only 10 were
being worked, the reason being found
in the remote position Of the coal
fields from parts and existing centers
of industry. Sir Charles d. Arm
strong, chairman Of the Great India
Peninsula railway, who presided, said
that very large amount Of coal would
be produced In India II labor were
more plentiful. It was largely due to
those who had worked the heavy traf-
&c on the Indian railways that the
empire was victorious in Mesopotamia.

Rich Chinese Provinces.

Shantung, the Chinese province
which Japan has been demanding from
China, is a mountainous promOntory
100 miles wide, which projects east
ward from the mainland into the yell
low sea for 200 miles. Its area is
about $500 square miles. The cen.
trail portion is occupied by massive
limestone mountains, eliminating In
Mount Tai, famous In history and con-
sidered sacred by the people. West,
southwest and north Of these noun
tains lie the Shantung portions Of the
great alluvial plain Of north China.
East and southeast Of the mountains
and throughout the promontory are
many fertile valleys and small plains.
The province Is well watered, though
its lakes are few and small, and
there are no rivers of importance ex-
cept the Hoang-ho, which traverses the
great plain in the west and north. The
Grand canal runs through the whole
province from north to south. Agricul.
ture is a flourishing industry and the
crops include some cotton, little rice,
tobacco, indigo, wheat. barley, maize,
millet, pulse. peanuts and vegetables.

with the Conquest OF the Az. LIE
Has chxnged From the o'd
Scheme Of Things

Do the people Of today realize the
great changes which now are moving
over the scheme Of the universel
We should look well on the old or
der before It has faded away. we
stand on the edge Of the new epocn ID
the history of mankind. In the air we
have Just conquered new element OF
inconceivable immensely. With the
palms OF victory in every hand we
have q slightly overwhelming sense OF
our power.
Almost In q moment the span OF the
world has shrunk to q quarter OF its
former size. Where we thought ID
countries now we think in continents.
Where we thought in days now we
think In hours, observes a writer ID
London Daily Mail.
We have the power Of throwing q
girdle round the earth. Remote Aus
tralia suddenly draws close. Green
land and Spitzbergen loom over US.
Rome and Christiania and Amsterdam
are quaint foreign suburbs OF Londoh.
Nation almost merges into nation.
Perhaps the desire Of ages may Dy a
glorious fraction draw nearer ana the
splendor of a world peace and peace
full world may materialize htue
through the air.
Now should we take our I'LL OF the
old scheme of things. In twenty years
time our life today will seem 1O,OOo
years old. The ancient civilizations OF
Rome and Egypt will not be more
legendary. How lucky are we, VINO
are young, to be able to see this swift
and dazzling age Of the air move
triumphantly into being.
No longer Is Japan an unattainaoie
dream. The Nile lies but day and
a half away. On glorious honeymoons
we can slip away into the star-beiow-
cred darkness Of the East to drift at
dawn above some fragrant island OF
Greece.
Over the rolling whiteness OF the
limitless cloudland, under a limitless
sky Of unimagined depths, we will
wing our long and easy way through
q health-inspiring wind to the golden
sun-drowsed beaches of the southern
seas.
This new life will not spoil our love
" world. Less than the train or the
whirling car will our journeyings dis
turb the earth. On the blue above our
white wings will glitter, for a mo-
ment-a little murmuring as OF bees
will sink to the ground below and we
shall be gone. The world, unstained
and pure, goes on rejoicing into the
era Of the air.

Novel Use for . Perl.eope.

Turning the sword into a plowshare
is q figure Of speech, but using the
periscope to direct the players In q
pantomime has actually come to pass.
This peaceful adaptation Of the means
whereby the submarine commander
has watched the ocean, to the purposes
of q musical director watching a stage,
took place at the first performance Of
a pantomime. In New York. The com.
poser of the music had come from
Chicago to direct the orchestra, and
found his seat in the orchestra pit so
far below the stage level that only
neck like that Of Alice In Wonderland,
after she had eaten the mushroom,
would have let him look over the foot
lights. So the management installed
a periscope. 1t was probably some lit
tie time before the whole audience had
guessed what the thing was, and that
q musical director down below was
periscoping the players on the stage
while he beat time for his orchestra.
