an Indian Magma Charta,-which
was signed by President Cleveland.
This act affected 11o out Of 100 reser-
vations. He also gave the history of
the subsequent Indian legislation.
which has made it possible for 100000
Indians to possess allotments totaling
100000 acres Of land and valued at

nearly 100000 acres of land, as COM

DR.. Gregg read Senator Dawes
memorable letter Of March II, 1887,
addressed to the late DR.. Hollis B.
Frissell, principal Of Hampton Insti-
tute from 1893 until his death in 1917.

Doctor Gregg then read cordial
letter Of greeting, and encouragement
from Miss Anna L. Dawes OF Pitts
field, Mass, who is the daughter Of
the late Senator Henry L. Dawes, who
worked so successfully for the passage
Of the Indian citizenship bill and who
became the head of the commission
that carried the bill into action.

by Pearl E. Howe, a Sioux Indian
from Fort Thompson, S. d.
Progress Through Education
Wheeler c. Erwin of Darlington,
S. C., member Of the Hampton In
stitute senior class, speaking for the
colored students, declared that both
Negroes and Indians would make
progress through education. Both
races, he stated, had had somewhat of
the same background and both races
had taken advantage Of their oppor-
tunities.
"The progress of the Negro race,
for example, in health, wealth and
morals" he said, has been due to in
creased educational facilities. There
can be no democracy until illiteracy
has been decreased and until educa-
ton has reached every Preside in
America.
Both races are asking for a square
deal and new conception of democ-
racy. They shall not be satisfied until
each member Of the two races is edu-
Gated and has taken his or her place
as citizen. The truth shall make us
free"

ing could discourage him, and so one
building came, and, later, others.
Jealousy, that most serious defect in
the Negro race, came too, but the
majority in the community stood BY
him, the children hocked to be taught,
and the Piney Woods School took its
place among the group of noble in
stitutions that have been built, despite
encouragement and opposition, de-
spite prejudice and ignorance that
would down all but the bravest. The
battlefield shows no bravery greater
than that of the pioneers in Negro
education in the South.
One wishes that a volume like this
did not have to be so frankly COM
mercial, SO given over to the idea Of
getting money for Piney Woods. Its
optimism, and this is true Of all the

the names of the board of trustees.
Of the curriculum and Of the success
ful graduates, is decidedly inartistic.
These books begin SO naturally but
end like a Saturday Evening Post
story, not with an eye to reality but
with an eye to the advertisements.

thing we must get them in good
Rumor with themselves and the world

he slurs over it, leaving you with the
feeling that to have been thrown on a
pile OF logs, under a tree on which
you were to be hung, was a mere IN
pleasant incident, the important fact
being that the mob grew kinder under
your oratory and let you off with
collection. He puts this story in the
chapter entitled Messages of Hope"
In the same way he says little regard
ing the shocking lack Of public edu
cation for the colored children Of his
state, reminding US again and again
Of his good white friends. Well, per-
haps it's only because we refuse to
see life as it really is that we are
able to live it at all There is no
such frightful, un-American pessimis1n
as this in "Piney Woods" but a
strong faith in God and country
coupled with a firm determination to
put this faith into life Of daily, ac-
tive service.

Hampton, Va-Temperament, art,
and history are the American Indians
gifts to our National life, according to
the Rev. Henry Roe Cloud, president
of the American Indian Institute at
Wichita, Kan, who delivered the prin-
cipal address at the public exercises,
which were recently held in Ogden
Hall, Hampton Institute, to celebrate
the passage Of the Dawes Act.
Mr.. Roe Cloud, after referring to
the present widespread discussion of
race problems, stated the method of
Jesus. Then he outlined in detail the
original possessions of the American
Indians and the possibility Of using
them for the benefit Of all Americans.
Solutions of the race question" he
said, fare easy to give but hard to fol-
low. Many today advocate migration
as solution. They say: Let the Ne
groes return to Africa, the Jews to
Palestine and the Indians to old Mex
ico.' Jesus worked where he was and
bore the burdens Of His race. He
thereby solved the problems of His
race; He solved all race problems.
Jesus was energized by love.
THE Indians peculiar nature-his
poise, his calmness, his self-possession,
and his equilibrium Of temperament
is in itself gift, when he finds him
self self-controlled among those who
indulge in heated argument. The In
dian, living under open skies and on
broad prairies, betook himself to
meditation and protracted prayer in
which he came to realize the power Of
the Great Spirit: His mind roamed
in vast expanses and got conception
Of the majesty of God.
THE Indian has one Of the distinc-
tive arts Of the world. This art could
easily enrich the treasure-house Of the
Nation and might we'll become the
marvel of the civilized world. The In
dian can also lend that antiquity
which America needs, because, as com
pared with the European nations, the
people Of the United States constitute
an infant nation.
when Michaelangelo was painting
his Last Judgment and Leonardo da
Vinci was painting his Mona Lisa,
the American Indians were in their
prime"
Mr.. Roe Cloud made a plea that
men and women should give them
selves quickly to the task of service
which requires patience, toll, and suf-
fering, in their day and generation.
Mr.. Roe Cloud also paid a tribute
to Hampton Institute as ''the moral
fountain head and intellectual ener-
gizer of the Negro and Indian races,
which is making all-round character
building the paramount aim"

This story follows along the line
Of series Of autobiographies, headed
BY the world-famous, "Up From
Slavery" 1t recites the early strug-
giles of an ambitious colored youth
for an education and his later success
in building up, by slow degrees, a
colored school. With Edwards of
Alabama, with Holzclaw Of Missis-
sippi, Lawrence Jones Of Piney Woods
has made a very acceptable, interest
ing story of his life and work.
Mr.. Jones childhood was not one
of great privations, but you early see
the boys tenacity Of purpose, his de-
termination to put through any job
that he undertakes. Among the pic
lures you have is that of a little boy,
going on his newspaper route and
finding at its end that a hole in his
pocket has left him penniless. 1t is
night, there is q church festival which
he has expected to attend where he
Will Be warm and merry and well fed.
But the lost pennies and nickles and
dimes must be found. So, borrowing
lantern, he spends hour after hour
retracing his route and picking up all
OF the lost money but ffty-fve cents.
He goes to bed hungry and cold, but
with strengthened will This will
carries him through high school and
college where he works his way, and
brings him at last to the pinelands Of
Mississippi there to start a rural
school.
Lawrence Jones was not south
erner going back to the people Of his
childhood. He was an Iowan, accus-
toned to the free life of the West, to
comradeship with white boys, to that
unconscious good fellowship that is
the kind worth having. He might
have made a success in many lines in
the North, but the spirit Of the pio-
neer was upon him and he turned to
where he felt his people most needed
him. His university was Mark Hop
kins-log with a teacher on one end
and a scholar on the other. His
school began literally this way, out
Of doors, on logs under trees. Moth
