Rev. Joseph Rogers Drew, one of
the earliest missionaries to this part
of Montana, coming here in 1883,
said: "I came up the Missouri river
forty years ago when everything was
verv different from today. No houses,
only tepees; no horses, only dogs; :
few English speaking people, only !;
Indians, who were greatly harassed 9
by their enemies, the Crows. Into +
this condition 30 years ago came Mr.. +
and Mrs. King, and for almost that
entire time she has labored on alone p
for you. She has brought you up
and spent more than her life for
you'll miss her at the table-She
has taught you to be loyal to the
school and carry it on"
Harvey Hamilton said: "Now is
the time for us to think. One woman Il
taught our children that they may o
be the future generation. She told G.
the news to the Dakota people and O.
proved that her love was for them. l.
We must encourage our children to o.
have more education so that they may W
be the right kind of citizens. We m
see some of it today in the exhibits /!
of the children. The teachers all
work hard. They pray for the child he

they may be somebody and we can tn
see the results. We must be grateful or

results of the training she so viii Ne
gave. We must be thankful kot
for This at this time. nd

his children here, said: eve meet con
