The Indian student is often times discouraged before entering college, and due to this fact he never at tempts to further his education any higher than the one he received from a reservation school. He reai- izcs that if he is brought from the camp or reserva tion and passes from ono institution to another till he re- ceives his final diploma as a grad uate with the degree of bachelor of arts of doctor of medicine, he must begin his life work--- where? At New York Boston, Philadelphia, or where possibilities may flourish. If so. the chances are that he will die of nomesickness, or starve. As a speaker at a church or society meet ipgs, for awhile he may prove an at IFdCllOI LOT ptl SOllS IO llolll tt't educated Indian is a novelty, but such occasional appearances do nOt constitute a livelihood, for other have tried it, and the white altruists will go on employing white lawyers al Ii white physicians will prob ably prefer the religious ministra- tons of a white clergyman.
 Moreover, in an Eastern city the Indian is at the same disadvantage socially IS professionally. Possibly, he had better settle in a more West ern city such as Chicago, St. Louis or Minneapolis--but he shall be in the same situation here as if he wei 3 in the East for others have tried it. VI hat is there then left for the In- dian professional man to do? He can go back to his own country. What awaits him if he does? A little bet ter welcome, perhaps, than he found in the East, but not enough to satls- fv his aspirations for leadership. If he is a physician, he has to meet

deadly competition with white phySi- clans in any white community, while among his own people the old medi- cine men fight him. If he is law yer he stands a larger chance, but the persons who bring him cases usually do so because they hope to use him as lure for other Indians Besides the old people laugh at his En-lndian ways; most of the young people, even those who have had their education near home, feel es1ranged from him. His diploma finds him nothing to do, and he des- pises the old life while in no condi- tion to get away from it. No wonder he hasn't any ambition to continue bis education.
 Tie most that will discourage an Indian student occurs while he is n college or in any school other than the reservation school Because C. his complexion, the white student will not associate with him. And since, just coming from the reserva- ton where he always spoke his own language, he has a difficulty in ex- pressing himself in English, they call him a foreigner or an Oriental such as an Italian, Japanese, Fili- pinO, etc The Indian student is proud of his own race and feels hurt when he is called an Oriental. and never cares to be wherever he is not wanted. No wonder he pre- fers to be in the reservation by him. he does not have to study theories nor speak the English language, ani continue in the ways of living hand eG. down to him by his ancestors. Here lies the keynote of the diff;- cultins of the American Indian stu- dent the reservation. The only remedy I can recommend is to "abo- fish the reservation system" Pro- bcbly a brief history and origin of the reservation system is necessary tc hiring out my point.

When the thirteen States consti. tlted the American Republic, there was no prophet to forsee the time when the republic would stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific, anI and from the Great Lakes to tie G"lt of Mexico. If there were any such prophet he was as voice cry ing in the wilderness no one heard o1 needed.
 The infant republic did not know and CCOk little pains to ascertain the extent of the domain which stretch ed to the west, or the number or character of the people who roamed over it. As the boundary line was pushed steadily westward, treaties were made with the Indians that all the territory west of a given bound ary was reserved for them forever. I think it was about 1900 A. D. that such a treaty was made, securing for them for all future time the land West of the Mississippi River All futnie time is a long while, and each new treaty was made only to be brO- ken as increase of population and incoming immigration made new de- mands on the continent for support. Thus gradually grew up without de sign the sO-called reservation sys- tem. Less and less land was reserved tr the Indians more and more was taken up by the whites; until at lest certain relatively small sections were deeded to separate Indian tribes.
 Tn these reservations, according to the treaties made, the tribes were at liberty to remain forever hunters and trappers, freed from the obliga- tions and without the advantages and perils of civilization. These re- servatlons have been practically pri- son yards, within which the tribes have been confined. If any member passed beyond the boundaries with oNt permission he was liable to ar- rest. If he raised crops or manu- factured goods he could not carry

Nurse Reports Conditions Of Dis
 ress in Local Family

Miss Elizabeth c. Nickerson, di- rector of the bureau of public health instruction of the Connecticut state department of health. has com pleted her fourth lecture on nutri- ton at the Visiting Nurse associa- tion. This course was given at the weekly staff conferences of the asso- citation and was attended by the visiting nurses from Berlin and Bristol as we'll as the staff of the local Tuberculosis Relief society and Welfare association.
 The discussions. covered practical questions concerning the 'all rouni diet" the exchange value of foods and the ways of improving the eco- nomical family diet.
 At the meeting yesterday, one of the nurses presented the problem of one family in this city in which there were. besides the parents, six children between the ages of one month and II years, living on a weekly food allowance of $5. In ad- dition three and one-half quarts of milk were being supplied from one of the local welfare organizations.
 Several menus for the week were discussed. It was found possible to purchase the weeks food on that allowance but it was generally con- ceded that the yitamins and min- erals obtained in fruits and vege- tables would be lacking. Hunger could probably be appeased but the food elements necessary for the growth and development could not be purchased for that sum.

YOUNG FISHES IN ', GOOD CONDITION
Situation Reported Better Than
 Ii Was

Washington. Nov. q R - The young fish situation is better than 1t was.
 Henry O'Afalley. fish commissioner for the commerce department, eX- plained this today in his annual re- port saying that the government had made progress this year in matching fish from eggs and in maintaining them in nurseries until they get to be or I inches long.
 Will Survive
 Equipped with this extra length before being put in streams, lakes or ocean areas, it is the belief of the fisheries workers that the young trout, salmon or whatever species they are, will survive to dinner table size in far greater numbers than be- fore. MT. O'Malley pointed out that during this last fiscal year nurseries cooperating with the government have increased in number from 55 to S6, providing the extra space for rearing young fish. The extraordi- nary number of billion young fish es and young eggs went out from the governments stations to build up the fish supply.
 Showing Decline
 Notwithstanding, some of the prin- cipal sources of food fish, MT. O'Mal- ley said, are showing alarming de- clines.
 He mentioned the halibut fisheries of the north Pacific coast, estimating that the yield from the banks they formerly frequented had dropped to 40 per cent of what it was a few years ago, while on the Great Lakes a somewhat similar diminution is be- ing faced. Special studies were re- commended for these areas next year. Less difficulty was noted in the important Atlantic sea fisheries. but serious decline was also reported as to some breeds.
 ''The present state of Ameria' s fisheries should occasion real con- cern for their future welfare" the fish commissioner said. While their total yield has increased steadily since 1880, there is convincing evil dence that many of our great fisher ies are suffering actual depletion"
 Seal Report
 The greatest fur raising enterprise in the world, the care of the Pacific seal herds, is under the bureaus di- rection, and from that source MT. O'Malley's report predicted a larger future return. Though the kill of suitable animals was enlarged last year, the seal population on the Alaskan islands has increased to SOS,S70 at the last computation. showing 6 per cent gain in one year.
