and correction. Much time has
gone. not into study, but into di-
rect work. We here at the Mis-
sion in Old Town make many calls
and receive many. Sometimes we
have as man. as $50 visitors in a
month, coming for all sorts OF pur-
poses:-to use the washing mach
inc. available three days a week;
or the bath facilities for women
and children; or to borrow books
from the small loan library, OIL
merely to make a friendly call.
We have co-operated Wherever
possible with the Indian churches,
in which there has been some very
fine Christian work done BY tie
fne-spirited young Indian pastors
and their wives. We have held
meetings for women, c~ondroted a
small Sunday school for n%eiehbor-
hood children, and helped the sick
in various ways. A girls club has
sought and found some splendid
material among girls of teen age.
A children's play evening has been
held during the winter months no.
only for close observation If tie
children. but for the teaching of
some of those attitudes ana vir-
tues which are best learned in
childhood-fair play, c~ooperation,
being a good loser, wa ting ones
turn, and so forth. Since modern
psychologists and socioio3ists
agree with Phillips Brooks. that
'the race marches forward On the
feet of little children" II seems
clear that if we can in any way
contribute to bending the tw1g
straight and giving it the sunshine
it needs, we shall not need 70 be
so concerned about the grown tree
to be. Perhaps all that we at
tempt to do in this line NAV be
looked upon merely as an act OF
loyal obedience to One Who said,
Let the little ones come unto
Me" Surely He did not mean
that they should some with their
little lives pinched and dwarfed
by poverty and disease.
Peculiar HandIcaps
In this connection it must be
recognized that Indian children
suffer from handicaps peculiar 10
this stage of development among
their people. Although endowed
with all the natural charm and
sensitiveness of childhood men
tai alertness, a sense of fun,
teachableness, and warm affec-
tions-all the normal instincts,
they are less articulate and they
are slower, perhaps, because they
suffer from a lack of adjustment.
Their parents, often isolated in
lonely homes, are sc socially
segregated from the white race in
whose world they live that they
can scarcely play their full part
Only one illustration out of a pos
sible ten or more can be mention
ed here. If the white children of
any school we're deprived of the
interest and cooperation and en-
enlargement that they find at
home, how many would fail TO
make the grade? Little Indian
pupils, as | have come to know,
often wrestle in great bewilder-
ment and bitterness of heart, with
school problems which they ought
not to face alone and cannot solve
unaided by home cooperation.
To make life as nearly right for
these little ones, to remove some
of the stumbling blocks that be
set their way, is this not a first
claim on all citizens and Chris
tians?

Indian homes. Even a casual &C
quaintance with some of the old
INDECENT Indians gives any one
who has even a modicum of Christ
ian compassion grounds for insis-
an protest. Such poverty, rem
dering futile the practice of look
ing ahead and allowing of no pro-
gress in standards, is accompanied
among almost all people, white
as well as Indian, by intermittent
extravaganza, deplorable, of
course, but understandable, if n
understands human nature Statis-
tical data are not appropriate
here, but for those who desire ex-
act information on this subject, 1t
is accessible and impressive. /
have found in a recent govern
mental publication, "The Problem
of Indian Administration, a sur
vey made by experts at the re-
quest of Secretary Work an ap-
proach te this whole field of study
which is both scientific and hui
name. For example, on the sub
ject of Economic Conditions there
is this paragraph
Conditions Among Indians
1.-The actual poverty of the In
dams is, as a matter of fact, much
greater than figures regarding the
value of their property would
seem to indicate, because the
property is often not effectively
used for the production of income.
Income, earned and unearned, is
after all much the better index of
the present prosperity of a peo-
pie. 1t represents what is avail
able for use in maintaining the
standard of living. Persons with
a fair income, by renting and by
installment purchasing, may lave
the use and advantage of far more
property than they actually own,
and thus maintain a relatively
high standard of living, a common
situation among the working pop
ulation of the United States. In
studying the immediate economic
condition of the Indians, their in
come is for more indicative of the
present situation than is the value
of their property"
Nor is it difficult to learn the
actual value, in single allottments,
of the real property of our In
dians. Again and again, the burn
ing words of the Hebrew prophets
describing the cruelties of poverty
have come to mind this winter.
No one who is at pains to know
the facts can feel any complacen-
CIV as to conditions among these
people, unless his heart is callous-
ed. or his mind is dull. The more
honor is due those Indians, OF
whom there are not a few among
us, who, against odds, have gained
a competence and whose homes
maintain fair living conditions.
Health
Secondly, health conditions ar
rest attention. Sociologists have
frequently remarked that commu-
nifty health is purchasabIe. I'm
hygienic living and disease are
always the ugly companions OF
poverty, and they accompany the
poverty found here. The three
diseases that chiefly infest Indian
homes are importations from an
other race. This is an arresting
fact, is it not? Moreover the
death rate among these people is
very high. To quote again from
the scientifically cautious state
ment in THE Problem of Indian
Administration" Indian deaths in
infancy and early childhood on

there was hustle of activity. Heavy wagons and trucks followed and traffic was at standstill while they made the sharp turn into the lot. Autos were forced to stop for as much as half an hour this morning, and they were piled up far back on both sides of the entrance to the field. Three state policemen were at the grounds directing traffic for the greater part of the morning.
 Countless children attracted by the circus were at the field, and groups could be seen gathered around the men as they worked to put up the tents and get everything in readiness for the big show this afternoon. It looked like a hopeless task to the uninitiated. but at noon things looked somewhat better, and out of the mass of confusion there came general order of things. East Berlin Items Mir and Mrs. Royal +. Morse were pleasantly surprised last evening by 8 number of their friends in honor of their tenth wedding anniversary. Guests attended from Meriden, Hart ford. New Britain, Kensington and Berlin. Mr. and Mrs. Morse receiv- ed many useful gifts. Games were played after which refreshments were served.

The annual meeting of the Ken sington fire district will be held at o'clock this evening at Fraternal hall at Jacobs' corner.
 The committee in charge of the meeting consists of James Ellsworth, chairman: Lois Bradbury, and Ed ward Mccormick. They will give the reports for the year. and these will be acted upon by the members attending the meeting. The annual election of officers will also take place.
 The tax rate for the coming year will be decided tonight. It is not thought that there will be any change made from the present rate of $ mills on both fire and water in the Kensington district.
 The residents of Remington with in the district have had new water mains installed in the past year and there will be no new pipes installed this year, so the rate will not be made higher than it already is. The district is well equipped with hydrants in most sections where there are many buildings. The brick yards are protected by the ponds from which water is pumped in case of fire. Although the New Britain authorities claim that the pond Wa ter is bad for the bumper, due to the fact that mud is sucked into the machine when the hose is set in the pond. the ponds are the only source of protection to the yards, as there is no hydrant near any ot them.

! ether systems the foundation OF a

that the British have failed to support
