Civic League Milk Campaign.

For a number of years the Civic
League. through its special com
mittee, has been doing a very eff
fective piece of work in connection
with the milk supply for under
nourished children at the public
schools. Through the generosity
Of several citizens the Civic
League has been able to have a
fund on hand to provide for the
needs Of this department Of their
activities. This plan was institut-
ed several years ago and has grown
steadily each year. When it was
seen how beneficial the drinking OF
milk was to under-nourished chill
dren, the conclusion was reached
that this would be the simplest
and most effective means Of provid-
ing a wholesome daily lunch for
all children. The result has been
that the drinking of milk has be-
come a fixed custom in our
schools and the benefits are mark
ed.
The need Of funds has increased
year by year because the number
of children who should have milk
every day and who are not able to
provide the necessary fund has
steadily increased. Several organ
izations have recently made con-
tributions, but still the need is
great. We should like every child
who needs milk to have it every
day. 1t not only benefits the child
physically, but enables him to do
the work of the schools very much
more effectively. An under-nour-
ished child can neither play. nor
work; an under-nourished child
can never be happy.
To keep a child we'll now is to
enable him to resist successfully
the inroads of disease. What bene-
fits te individual benefits the
whole group. We have frequent
ly had visitors to remark upon the
healthy appearance of our boys
and girls. We believe that the
custom that we have established
here for the past four or five
years is largely responsible for
this condition. We should like to
keep every child well and strong.
net cnly for his own happiness, but
for the we'll being of all others
with whom he daily associates.
1t takes $1.20 to supply child
with pint of rich milk every day
four weeks. Miss Armida Moses
is the chairman of the committee Of
the Civic League, and she will be
glad to receive any contributions
that may be made.
This is no new experience with
US, but one that has been thor
oughly tried, and we are sure Of its
great benefits to the boys and girls
Of our scools.

ward j. OBrien and to award to
the stories stars Of varying mag
nitude and brilliance. AS a mere
compilation of short stories the
volume meets with unexpected sue
cess. Many Of the heroes have per-
sonal problems to solve which are
essentially dramatic Even when one
OF the stories lacks plot or charac-
terization it is always interesting
for it's setting. In this generation,
which prizes the exotic in literature,
it is well to be reminded that right
at our doors are to be found the
strangest and most interesting peo-
pie, the American Indians.
American Indian Life" is not a
travel book in the accepted sense,
but it gives panorama of the early
life of whole continent. There are
many features which will contradict
the general impression held of the
Indian, and instead of commenting
On the separate stories in their order
in the book it will be best to point
cut the common attributes of Indian
life.

cate and complex among those meek.

Environment molds all races. Mr..
Kroeber points out that book which
contained biographies of men from
each nation in Europe would present
a cross-sectional aspect of the civili-
zation of that continent. France
and Russia, Serbia and Denmark
would each be represented with its
national peculiarities; and yet the
blended effect would be that of
supernatural culture So with our
Indians. 1t is through the medium
of the intensive and special coloring
of each tribal civilization that the
common elements of Indian culture
are brought out most truthfully,
even though somewhat indirectly"
Mr.. Kroeber in Ills introduction
explains the quest of the archaolo-
gist. 1t is an attempt to discover
the past history of race which had

kinships is taken very seriously by
the Indian and the system of
nomenclature and the code of treat
ment for relatives of different de-
grees is very difficult. This is Illus
trated by Edward A. Sapir's account
of "Sayacliapis, a Nootka trader"
In the preface Mr.. Kroeber points
out the fact that all these trained
observers find that the Indian is
very religious. They feel that they
may have overemphasized the point
because it Is easier to record cere-
monials than forms of Government,
which crumble on contact with the
white man. The Indian was closer
to the heart Of things, to the Great
Mystery than we who live crowded

most familiar to the general pub

wild West show. The tribes of the
middle West and the Eastern tribes
come next. Five stories deal with
the tribes of the Southwest, who
had more permanent dwellings.
The stories of the Mexican tribes
are more fragmentary because they
deal with races that have either
vanished or completely forgotten
their traditions. The book finishes
with stories of the Pacific coast
tribes. the Northern Athabascan
tribes and the Eskimo.

Each of these stories is separate

scious attempt to be literary. Every
author knows the group with which

fascinating of deductive sciences.
The theory is that the Indian is de-
scended from groups of proto-Mon-
golians, who entered this country by
way of Alaska about 5000 B. C. 1t
is not known whether these sepa-
rate groups of entrants brought dis
tinct languages with them. The
American language families such as
Siouan and Algonkin or Aztec and
Maya are about three times as
diverse as modern English and
Sanskrit. OF the racial type, Prof.
Kroeber says, Fundamentally one
physical type stretches from Cape
Horn to Alaska. Specifically it is
intricately variegated = here with
round heads, there with long-with
short faces or hooked noses or tall
statures or wavy hair, in this or that
group of tribes. In fact, it might
seem that during ten thousand years
the variety of climates and habitats
might have succeeded in molding the
Indian into racial types of even
greater distinctness than we en-
counter: until we remember that he
found the two continents empty, and
was never subjected to mixtures
with, white or black or dwarf races, to
mixtures such as were experienced
by many of the peoples of the east
ern hemisphere
To arrange such variegated mate
rial was rather difficult task. The
book opens with four stories about
the plains tribes which are those
