Quarter Million
Is Appropriated
For Cflernawa

over a quarter of a million dol
lars is to be appropriated by the
government for Chemawa Indian
school. according to a telegram re-
ceiyed by the Salem Commercial
club from Senator McNary, yester
day who stated that the senate had
approved of the appropriation.
Twenty-Five thousand of the sum,
is to be used in general repairs,
$4,000 for a heating system and
$4,000 for the boys new dormi-
tory.
When informed of the news yes
terday, Superintendent Hall, in
charge of the institution, said
Hundreds of Indian boys and
girls who applied for admission at
Chemawa this year were refused
admission on account of the lack
of appropriation and capacity. In
spite of this condition the attend
ance is larger than at any time in
the history of the school, there be-
ing 700 students. which is 100 more
than congress provided for
TO remedy this Mr.. Hall with the
backing of the Salem Commercial
club urged that an additional ap.
preparation be included in the gen.
eral deficiency bill, which has just
been considered by the senate and
reported on so favorably by Sena-
tor MeNary.
"A machine shop containing all
kinds of iron working machinery
has just been installed" said Mr..
Hall, in speaking of the work of
his school. This together with a
foundry, which is to be installed
provides a splendid means to train
boys for avocation in addition to
the wagon, automobile, blacksmith
and woodworking departments al
ready in full operation.
1.-The boys secure practical and
scientific instruction in general
agriculture as well as practical
productive work. These various
trades added to the mechanical
drawing, shoe making, harness
making, tailoring, engineering,
plumbing, steam fitting, electrical
work and baking, gives plenty of
course for the $50 boys.
1.-The $50 girls are give full in
struction from an academic stand
point as well as actual production
in domestic art, domestic science,
nursing, home making, laundrying
and general housekeeping, as well
as milliery. The course of study
in all of these subjects embraces
period of three years for what Is
called pre-vocational or the tryout
period and then four years for the
vocational. The same refers to the
boys. The course extends up to and
including the second year hign
school work with all of the voca-
tional instruction added. 1t is done
in the same time that it takes the
public school student to complete
their academic work in} the same
grades with the vocation work add
ed as regards our Indian boys and
girls. Educa tors who have investi-
gated the course of study provided
forthis Indian school claim it su-
perior to any course in vogue"

Britain Must
Keep Armed to
Teeth, Is Belief

London, Feb. IL "Disarma-
ment is not practicable at the pres
ent time. Russia is preparing to
fight other countries in the
Spring"
This was the keynote of a speech
delivered at a League of Nations
Union meeting at Haywood, Lam
cashire, by A. H. Illingworth, the
Postmaster General.
There is also one great power
outside the League of Nations and
it is going to build a huge navy
that will beat creation" added
Illingworth, referring, of course,
to the United States. I'VE will
have a deal with this position as
best we can.
"The outlook is terrifying and it
is for us to concentrate our ener-
gies in order to combat what is in
front of us.
1--WE must not, however, lose the
substance for the shadow.
"Militarism has been destroyed
in Europe; the great German mill
tary power has been smashed for
ever, but Notwithstanding this, W
cannot go in for disarmament a
| the present time.
Speaking on present economic
conditions, Illingworth declared
that there was a vacuum so far as
capital was concerned and that
England was lucky in being in a
position to have raw material.
Other countries, he said, had nc
raw material but they could do no
business with this country because
they could not pay
80 long as other countries were
poor we could not expect much
trade with them" he concluded.
But, Notwithstanding this, it must
be our constant effort to facilitate
the exchange of goods between the
nations. BY this exchange we can
restore trade, prevent unemploy-
ment and restore the exchanges to
their normal basis"
