The teachers have returned and
taken up their work for the remainder
OF the school year with rem ,wed am
bition and energy to make the school
work better and more efficient than
ever before. The public school is GER
tainly the pride of the community.
The Indian and white children attend
the school together and the teachers
treat them all the same without dis
elimination on account of race or
color. The Indian children go to
school clean and neat, and this clean
liness has a good effect Oh the home
folks, who try to initiate their child
.ren, keep their homes cleaner their
beds and clothing neat, and their cook
ing and their housekeeping compares
favorable with their white neighbors.
Many OF the vices, diseases and i'm.
moralfties are charged up to the white
race. AS the Indian advances in the
arts OF civilization, he leaves off his
old customs and superstitutions and
tries to become a good citizen. Edu-
'catio 8 tho boy that knocks out ig.
norance and superstitution, and this
applies to the Indian as we'll as any
other race. The Indian is susceptible
of improvement when given fair
chance, the same as other people.
What the Indian has accomplished in
60 years in this respect, it took the
white race several hundred years to
accomplish.
