closing the buildings was the small

makes travel difficult. Less than so

By The Associated Press,

London, Dec. 19.--The London
Times correspondent at Cher
bourg asserts that Eamonn de
Valera, president of the Irish re
public" is aboard the Aquitania,
due here tomorrow afternoon.
Mr. Boland, VINO accompanied
Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney and Mary
NJ. MacSwincy, said that so far as
he knew de Valera was 'in the
United states tonight" and that in
the speaking trip he was to start
soon he intended visiting the Pa
CifiC coast.
The steamer Aquitania sailed
from New York on December IA!
A writer in the London Evening
Standard said on December Il that
he had learned from authoritative
source that de Valera was expected
to land in England in a few days.
The home office, however said 1t
had no information on the subject.
De Valera's secretary in New
York, Harry Boland, later declared
that de Valera was in seclusion at
a private residence in the immedi-
ate neighhorbood of New York city
and would resume his speaking
tour in the United States when he
had regained his health.
Government officials at London
pointed out that de Valera had
technically offended against tho
law and was liable to be arrested
in that country he having escaped
| from prison in 1919.

the hard luck and pathetic stories
of many who come to the welfare

INDIAN ADAPTED
To AGR|CUL TURE
SELLS ASSERTS
Effort viii Be Made to Place
the ChiIoCCo School on a
Basis With Modern Agri-
cultural Colleges.

Arkansas City. Kans,, Dec. a.
To place the Chilocco indian
school, just across the state line
south of this city. on an equal basis
with modern state agricultural col
leges is the aim of Cato Sells. Unit
ed States commissioner Of Indian
affairs. He declared that the In
dian as trained in the government
schools has shown himself highly
susceptible to educational advant-
ages and that he is especially
adaptable to agriculture. Mr. Sells
said the ultimate purpose of edu-
eating the Indians is ito hasten as
rapidly as is justifiably possible the
release of all Indians from federal
supervision and turn them over to
various state governments as cap
able and trustworthy subjects"
The Chilocco school is consider
ed one of the finest non-reserva-
ton schools in the Indian service,
being located in a splendid agri-
cultural district with soil and eli
matte conditions similar to those
where the students always have
lived. The school now offers full
vocational courses, including the
tenth grade. in home economics for
the girls and for the boys in me-
chanical arts and trades but with
special stress on agriculture and
stock raising. In discussing his
plans for the school Mr.. Sells re-
Gently said:
II have been much interested In
this school and am convinced that
the conditions there offer great
opportunity for the Indians of Ok
lahoma to have an educational IN
stitution the equal in all modern
essentials of state agricultural col
leges, and am taking all the steps
to have II 90 constituted. Its ca
pacity should be increased to at
least 500. which would necessitate
considerable additional building.
The best obtainable stock and
equipment are being procured. and
/ hope soon to see here an inst-
tuition of learning that will furnish
ambitious Indian boys and girls
practical and scientific training in
farming and stock raising and in
all the requirements of sanitary
and cultured home making. Such
a school should draw many STU
dents from other states VINO are
able to pay the cost of better edu-
cation, and its value to the lnd1ans
at large, and particularly to the
state of Oklahoma, would be more
than can now be estimated.
at am pleased to say that Press
dent Cantwell, of the State Agrl-
cultural college at saltwater. Is
giving to the Chilocco Indian
school splendid cooperation by
way of personal advice and now
and then the brief detail OF mem
bers of his faculty for like service.
"All our work in Oklahoma, as
elsewhere, is dealing increasingly
with the individual interests OF the
indians. To this extent 1t becomes
more specialized and more labor
ious. but its compensations are
greater because it brinSs 20 nearer
the conditions of personal ser7sup-
port. Our modern education is IN
no sense clannish or tribal; IT IS
individualistic; it is predicateo
upon equal rights and opportuni'
ties to ALL"
