EIGHT SCHOOLS MAINTAINED ON UMATILLA
RESERVATION, SEVEN OF THEM BEING PUBLIC
Number Of Indians Becoming Larger Year.
Boarding School Abolished

Uncle Sam is a good provider to his
little Indian nophews and nieces when
II comes to education and facilities
for teaching the young braves and
maidens OF the Umatilla reservation
which compare favorably with those
furnished by our own school system.
Between Uncle Sam, the Catholic
mission and the county school sys-
tenn there need be no illiteracy among
the growing generation of Indians on
the reservation.
For many years the government
maintained at the agency a boarding
school for 9th oys and iris. They
were rouht there durin the school
year from their arious homes, clothed.
fed and educated at oernment ex-
pense while their parents were free
20 do as they pleased, KNOWN that
their offsprin were Elm wei taken
care OF.
On June 80, 1918, the oarding
school feature of the government ed
ucational system was aolished and a
day school is now maintained for the
boys and girls at the agency at Mis-
sion station and another day school at
Tutuilla, about 5 miles southwest of
the agency The older Indians pro-
tested quite vigorously when the
oardln feature was abandoned. for
they were then oiled to at home
eery eenin to feed the children as
they came home from school and
were obliged to get them ready each
morning for their trip TO school.
About 20 students are taught in
each of the two government schools
on hA n
are handled by the St Andrews Cath
ole school at the Catholic mission,
southeast of the agency in the foot
hills. This school gives free instruc-
ton and free books but the parents
are expected. where able, to pay for
clothing and food for their children.
If in any case the parents are unable
to provide the clothing and pay the
board of their children, it is looked
after by the mission.
All the schools give instruction
from the first grade to about the sew
enth. Beside the common branches a
small amount of manual training and
domestic art work is taught. Reli-
gious training accompanies the work
of the Catholic school. Sisters of st.
Francis are in charge of the school.
The county school system maintains
five public schools on the reservation
lands to accommodate the children of
the white tenants on Indian lands
These schools are, however, open to
Indian children, their status being the
same as that of the whites. In these
schools they may get the same edu-
cational facilities as the average coun-
try school affords the white young
ones. It was because of the opening
of the county schools to the Indians
that the government deemed it in
feasible to continue the boarding
school at the agency.
Not all the Indian children are sat
isfied to complete the course of edu-
cation given by the grade schools or
the government schools on the reser-
walton. The government maintains
numerous larger and higher branch
schools in the northwest and through
out the nation, which are open to

those who have completed the neces-
sary amount of preliminary works The
Indian school at Chemawa, near Sa-
lem, has attracted the largest number
from this reservation and each year a
score or more are in attendance. Last
year the Umatilla reservation was
represented at the Chemawa school by
25 boys and girls and still a greater
number is sexpected there this year.
AT Chemawa they receive work for
three years, equivalent TO that OF a
iunior high school or two year high
school. In addition they are taught
the Industrial arts, the boys learn
fra des and the girls are taught stenog-
ranhv and other professions by which
thav might earn their way in the
world should they choose to do SO.
cnshman Indian school, at Tacoma
has occasionally drawn students from
tna reservation. the youth being al
,ovvad to select the school he wouio
a,tsra and the government passins
-, the request upon his merits. BE-
fora carlisle was closed, few lnol-
ars from the Umatilla reservation re-
ca,ved their education there, although
today one would have difficulty IN de-
tsrmining Just who it was that was
Carlisle student.
Now that Carlisle is no longer, IN
dams who look to the east for their
higher education are selecting the
Haskell institute at Lawrence, Kan
sas Late in August three young
girls who had completed the work In
the reservation school were sent to
the middle western institution to take
a three years course. The govern
.nent pays their transportation there,
gives them their work for three years
and agrees to send them home when
they have completed their work. If
they desire to visit home in the mean
time, however, they must stand the
expense of the trip themselves.
The number of Indians on the res
ervation who have good common
school education is becoming quite
large and only the older natives are
deficient in their use of the English
language. Many of them understand
but will not talk English because OF
peculiar prejudice. Whenever an
Interpreter is handy they prefer to
talk through him but in some cases
they will talk English if they have nc
alternative. Those who have gone
through equivalent of the grades use
English with a char mand correctness
not often heard among native Ameri-
cans

Aliens Compose One Tenth
Americas Population.

Washington, d. c., Feb. I2.--Ap-
proximately onetenth OF the popula-
ton of the United States is COM
posed of unnaturalized aliens, accord
ing to Raymond +. Crist, Deputy
Commissioner of Naturalization. who
declared today that such condition
would not be permitted by any other
country, and appealed to American
citizens to help in making citizens OF
alien residents. He said there were
10, 100000 persons in this country
who still retain their allegiance to
the land of their birth.
There are now l7,5oo,ooo aliens IN
this country, yet barely 100000
have become citizens Crist said
"Such a tremendous unassimilated
mass means danger, for among these
millions comparatively few have any
knowledge of or interest i'll Ameri-
can institutions.
sit is our duty and our necessity
to convert this multitude into loyal
American citizens. By gathering i'll
their own quarters in large industrial
centers they furnish a fertile ground
for all sorts of propaganda opposed
to American institutions.
1.-THE war revealed that, while the
great majority of Germans i'll this
country were loyal, there were, new
ertheless. far too many German
aliens who felt only hatred for the
country that has so generously re-
ceived them. 1t is time now to act
to prevent any recurrence of this ex-
perience.
1T is the duty of every American
citizen who loves America to seek
out his friends and acquaintance OF
foreign birth and to prevail upon
them if they wish to remain here to
become citizens"
