TEACHERS

A T this time of the school year it
"A is advisable for teachers to take
stock of their attitude toward their
children.
It should be a perfectly frank, hon
est attitude that will beget confidence
It should be full of sympathy and
should stimulate the child to do his
best always. 1t should inspire respect
for teachers and self-respect at the
same time Anything that will pre-
vent these things should be avoided
Sarcasm is one of the instruments
sometimes used by teachers that will
prevent the existence of good rela-
tions. Sarcasm destroys any respect
pupil may have either for the teach
er or for himself. 1t leaves a bitter
ness and sting that the pupil never
gets over. Sarcasm has absolutely no
place in a school.
Anger is another attitude that
should never be found in a school
The teacher who can not control her
self can not hope to develop self-con-
troll in her pupils. The teacher who
gives way to anger and sarcasm ac-
knowledges her inability to manage
little children Indeed, she confesses
her weakness and unfitness for the
calling in which, unfortunately for
! childhood, she. has enrolled herself
Patience, and kindness. and sympathy,
and encouragement are attitudes that
must be constantly present in the
schoolroom.

Feeding Forest Seeds To
Squirrels and Chipmunks

At the southwestern forest expert
ment station at Flagstaff, tests of the
appetite of the average Rocky Noun
tain mantled ground squirrel and the
San Francisco mountain chipmunk
show an astonishing capacity for pine
seeds. The ground squirrel will eat
$40 pine seeds in one day and night,
while the chipmunk accounts for 237
DR.. Walter F. Taylor Of the biologi-
cal survey, who is conducting the
tests, finds that group of four seed
trees in an acre of cut-over western
yellow pine land would produce about
$4,000 seeds in a good year. rms
would be just enough seed to carry
one family of squirrels and three fam
lilies of chipmunks about two weeks.
What the rodents are going to do Tor
the remaining SO weeks, or what they
do in a poor seed year, does not ap-
pear. But in good year at least,
they very seriously interfere with the
natural reforestation of western yell
low pine.
The southwestern forest experiment
station has been advocating the leav-
ing of four mature trees in every acre
cut over, to provide seeds for second
growth of pine. 1t would appear
questionable whether four seed trees
to the acre are sufficient to do more
than win the grateful appreciation of
resident squirrels and chipmunks,
were it not for the young pines that
actually do come in on these cut-over
areas in defiance of biological statis-
fia.-

A negro went into a bank down
south to get a check cashed. He
stood in line long time and finally
his turn came. Just as he got to the
window the teller put up sign:
"The Bank is Busted"
The What do you mean,
the bank is busted?"
Teller-"Well, it is, that's all, it's
busted. Didn't you ever hear of a
bank being busted?'
The Negro-"Yes; but 1 never had
one bust in my face before"

vanishing" indians.

When Captain Myles Standish,
armed with his blunderbuss, went
hunting Indians it was estimated
that there were D. quarter of a
million Indians on this continent.
Now, according to the annual re-
port of the commissioner of In
dian affairs, the Indian population
of the United States is 344,3O3.
There is nothing vanishing" of
the Indians when these totals are
compared.
Then there is that other express
sion, 10! the poor Indian" What
rhyme and reason is there in this
saying of a'people that have more
than $35, 100000 in saving bank
deposits and hold tribal property
worth considerably more than a
billion dollarsg Apparently worth
less lands have yielded them $751;.
600, 900 in oil in one year. The
remarkable thing about all this is
that the Indians left in their natur
al condition would have died out
as race. They were disappear
ing through pestilence, famine and
wars when the Pilgrims came to
Plymouth. They lave since been
chased and robbed and driven
from pillar to post, but despite it
all have gained in numbers and
wealth.-Boston Post.
The annual report of the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs is an
alluring and evasive document. 1t
never fails to portray in the most
vivid manner the great good being
done the Indians by the Indian
Bureau and the rapid advancement
made by the Indians under its
paternal care. 1t sums up the
wealth of the Indians as a whole
and points with pride to the vast
sum Of money belonging to the
Indians, but it neglects to state,
however, that very little. if any of
this vast wealth ever reaches the
Indians. 1t is jealously horded
by the Indian Bureau, which en-
! ploys al army of broken down
political hacks to administer this
vast estate, and without which it
could not survive. If the property
and money belonging to the Amer.
lean Indians was divided among
them, as it should be, and the In.
diaps given unrestricted citizen
ship in their own land, there would
be today no Indian Problem,
and likewise no Indian Bureau.

James |. Cofey Writes .
From Washington.

The following communication
was received from James l. Coffey

March 1st, 1924.
The ToMAHAwK:
H. R. 26, a bill introduced in
Congress- by Hon. Harold Knutson
of Minnesota, December 5, 1923,
to compensate the Chippewa In
dams of Minnesota for lands dis
posed of under the provisions of
tie free homestead act. was favor
ably reported today by the House
Committee on Indian Affairs,
which propose to appropriate
81, 787, 1916, to be credited to
the general fund of the Chippewa
Indians of Minnesota.
Also, H. R. 81, and H. r. 20,
proposing to appropriate approx
mately $1,4s3, 1851, to compen-
safe the Chippewa Indians of
Minnesota for timber on lands
which were classified as agricultur.
al lands, but which contained
merchantable pine.
The three. bills propose to pay
the Chippewa Indians of Minneso.
ia approximately $3,371,57S OF.
H. r. u and % were not finally
disposed of. by the committee
today.
Mr.. Burke, Commissioner of In
diap Affairs, reported favorably
on the proposed appropriations to
pay the Chippewa Indians, and
personally went before the Com
mittee advocating the payment to
be made. This action of the Com.
missioner to obtain the appropria.
tons and payment to the Cnippe-
was these sums, will eliminate the
necessity of litigation and save the
Chippewa Indians approximately
1927, 1880, which would repre-
sent fees for attorneys.
Respectfully,

Result of Town Election.

The inclemency Of the weather
prevented many from going to the
polls to cast their vote at the town
election held here on Tuesday:
however, a considerable vote was
cast. Some discussion took place
at the voting place regarding the
legality of the manner in which
the election was being conducted
and the form of ballot used. 1t
was finally decided to let the mat
ter 90 for this time but to be more
careful in the future. Too much
care can not be taken in conducting
an election of any kind, for if
there is anything wrong a defeated
candidate may see fit to avail
himself of the opportunity to
