of methods which will enable her to teach boys
and girls the fundamentals of learning.
This becomes increasingly apparent if one
keeps in mind that only eight per cent of the
boys who quit the eighth grade later on graduate
from college. Or, in other words, if 90 per cent
of the pupils do not go farther than the eighth
grade, it is essential that their schooling up to
that point be the best that can be provided.
One of the most important factors to bring
this about is the thorough training of the edu-
Gators who are to instruct them. If the teachers
are ignorant of pedagogical. methods, or if they
take only a passing interest in the school system,
the boys and girls who are entrusted to their
care pay for it in an inefficient education.
Of equal Importance is the establishment of
sanitary School buildings, sufficiently equipped
to enable the teachers to put into practice the
methods which they have been taught in the nor
NAL schools. In this respect there also is room
for much Improvement, Gov. McCray said.
The report of the special commission which
has completed a survey of the Indiana school
system will soon be published. The governor in
timated that it would contain a number of reve-
~lations, and also present a constructive program
to revamp the whole educational system so that
it can be put on a modern basis. The survey was
made by representatives of the Rockefeller and
Carnegie Foundations, men who are experts in
the educational world
One gathered the impression that Indiana had
paid too much attention and spent too much
money on its universities to the neglect of the
common schools, especially those in poor coun-
ties. The survey probably will show If this is
true, and will indicate how the money is to be
apportioned to obtain maximum results.

Miss Hellner-Nielsen is an attractive
girl, blond and athletically inclined.
She is a star at tennis and skating.
She was born in a small town in Den
mark, famous as the birthplace of
Hans Christian Anderson, famous
fairy tale writer. She first heard of
the finger print science through a
friend and went to see DR.. Hakon Jor-
gensen. In spite of the fact that she
was not obliged to earn a living, he
was SO impressed with her qualifica-
tons that he urged her to take the
position under his direction. Against
the protests of her family she went to
work.
Miss Hellner-Nielsen is interested
in the introduction of a universal sys-
tenn for every country-this system of
course being DR.. Jorgensen's-and the
establishment of a central bureau.
The accomplishment of this will be
of inestimable Importance to women.
said Miss Hellner-Nielsen. I'm the

ton against the kidnapping of chill
dren. 1t would also be a protection to
women against a bigamist marriage,
and would have an enormous effect in
preventing fraud in the collection of
insurance and numerous other crimes

Gov. McCray on Education

There was an unmistakable ring of sincerity
in the exposition of Indiana's educational needs
which Gov. McCray presented to the Kiwanis club
a few days ago. Ranked as seventeenth among
the commonwealth from an educational stand
point, Indiana must improve its system to pre-
pare its youth adequately for the needs of life,
the governor said.
One factor that impressed his listeners was
the governors statement that too many teachers
are taking courses in the normal schools which
do not prepare them to teach the rudimentary
branches thoroughly. He found that young girls
of Is and II years were taking courses in Span
ish, Greek and the higher mathematics as a
preparation to teach arithmetic, geography,
reading and writing in one-room schools in rural
districts.
Gov. McCray argued, and rightly so, that
teachers, whose activity will be confined mainly
to teaching the elementary grades, should take
normal courses that will make them highly eff
cient to instruct the youth of the lower grades.
1t is a waste of time and money for a teacher,
who is to preside over a district school, to special
ize in the ancient languages and neglect the study

Hopi Indian Snake Dance
Two Fraternities Participate in Ritualistic Ceremony of
Southwestern Indian Tribes.
BY FREpERICK y. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
Many years ago a great drouth visit
ed the land of the Hopi Indians, in
northern Arizona, according to an
Indian legend. The corr and the mel
ons died and there was no game. By
and by the people themselves began to
die of hunger and thirst The old men
planted many prayer sticks. The
gods were invoked in every way the
people could devise. But no rain
came. There was great suffering.
Then the children said, 1--WE must
help. How can we make the gods
listen? By doing something that We
hate. So they went out on the plains
below and gathered snakes, and play
ed with them, putting them in their
mouths, and singing and dancing with
them.
Then came great rains and the peo-
pies lives were saved. And the old
men said, "The children have pleased
the gods by playing with that which
the gods love. We have learned our
lesson" So they themselves in the
great snake fraternity, made songs
and prayers, and once every year since
then they have appealed to the gods
for rain with their snake brothers"
who are the messengers to the under
world.
Thus was evolved the, according to
legend, the snake dance which falls
between Aug. 20 and 26. The exact
date depends upon the moon 1t was
held this year OF the latter date and,
as is always the case, attracted a large
crowd from all over the southwest.
The dance is carried out now IN
much the same manner as it was
years ago., it is believed. Two fra.
ternities always participate, the Ante.

sistants in certain rites. For 9 days
before the dance the men of the latter
organization go out on the plains with
notched sticks, buckskin bags and
wallets of sacred meal to hunt for theil
snake brothers. As they capture each

meal and thrust it in the bag. To

to chants and prayers and kept in cap

number is added to day by day. And
so, for many days, minor ceremonies
are held in the kiva.
Late in the afternoon of the day be
fore the dance, the Antelope priests
appear in full regalia of painted bodies

colors, and with symbolic equipmen:
such as bowls of sacred meal, prayer
plumes, sacrificial plants, and feather
