Better Education for Indians

THE Indians are going to school in earnest
- this year. Under orders of the Indian
service Of the Department of the Interior, all
Indian children who can find accommodations
and can reach them are to be sent to the
public schools.
Indian children applying for entrance in In
dian schools this Fall will be required to I'LL
out a QUESTIONABLE, which will reveal home
conditions. family resources, distance from pub
lie schools and the reasons. If any, for not
attending the public schools. If answers re-
veal that child should go to the public rather
than the Indian school, 1t will be so ordered.
This principle has been applied in the past
in some localities but Secretary Wilbur be-
lieves that it should become NOR. general, as
close contact with the whites will bring more
general assimilation.
Oklahoma. with 80 per cent of her Indian
children attending public schools, Is leading
lieved to indicate that the system readily
might become more widespread.
In California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michi-
gan, Montana, Washington and Oregon, for
instance, the Indian population is generally
intimately mixed with the whites. The schools
of the whites are within reach of many Inv
dians. Under the circumstances, it is held, in
fact to be uneconomical that the money of
the taxpayer should be spent in maintaining
separate institutions for them.
The department believes that it would be
much better for the Indian child. II it should
attend public school, In those schools he
would come constantly in contact with white
children and would learn much of their ways
and philosophy of life When his education
was completed he would be as ready as is the
white boy to go out in the world and earn a
living.
In the Indian boarding school the Indian
child lives entirely apart from the whites
In his home background there is no UNDER
standing of modern world and how to get
along in it. and little Of this is gained in an
institutional school. When the young Indian
emergeS from such q school he is not nearly
as able to get along in world dominated
by the whites as he would be If he had been
in contact with them for 10 years in public
schools.
An example of the>sort of reservations that
will be affected by this order is that Of the
Omaha Indians in Nebraska. There are some
1000 OmahaS who have been allotted fertile
farm lands in Eastern Nebraska. They own

place was celebrated as the residence Of Joel
Barlow. poet and diplomat. who entertained
with others Count Rumford and Robert
Fullin, the inventor. Farther to the east at
the head of Thirteenth street. was the Stone
Hospital which subsequently became the home
of Gen. John A. Logan and where he died
December 26, 1886. 1t was he wh0 gave 1t
the name Calumet Place Later, for brief
period 1t became the home of William Jen-
nings Bryan, while he was serving as Secretary
of State. The site Of this hospital is now
covered by an c,artnnent house at the north
east corner Of Thirteent' and Belmont streets
northwest.
Not far west of the Stone Hospital, on Four
teenth street-adjoining and just to the north
of the old Columbian College grounds-was
the Carver Hospital. As in nearly all cases,
the buildings were frame. However, they must
have been well constructed for after the war
one Of them which stood at the southwest
corner of Fourteenth and Harvard streets, was
converted into dwelling, and existed as such
until about fifteen years ago.
Mount Pleasant Hospital was to the north
of the Carver Hospital and on the Holmead
Estate, and faced Piney Branch road. 1t
consisted of a number of frame buildings
erected especially for the purpose and con-
tinued in use until August, 1865. The Tivoli
Theater covers a part Of the hospital grounds,
and all of this area is entirely built over, re-
tanning no Semblance to its rural condition ex-
isting back in Civil War days.

d. tracts of SO to 100 acres apiece. Most of
them have good houses in which to live and
incomes from their lands, which they do not
farm themselves but lease to white men. Prac-
tically all of them speak English.
Ninety per cent of the members of the tribe
live within four miles Of the town of Macy,
with modern grade and high school. There
are public schools in the farm country in which
they live. They are as able to take care Of
their children and educate them as Is any
other group Of Americans similarly situated.
It Is contended there Is no reason why spe-
cial provision should be made to board and
clothe their children in separate schools, where
the result in practical education Is less val
liable than it would be If they stayed at home.
Those Indian children who live In isolated
all-Indian communities will 60 to Indian day
schools and boarding schools. Care will be
taken Of those whose parents are so poor that
they cannot provide proper food and clothes
for them. At the schools, however, the effort
will be made to increase the contact with the
whites, to teach boys and girls how to make q
living as members of their communities, and
to aid them to get money-earning places when
they have finished school.
Some Of the States are now almost ready
to assume responsibility for the education Of
their Indian citizens. Where school funds are
none too large and where the Indian is not
a taxpayer, the Federal Government will be
asked to pay tuition for the Indian pupils. It
will do this where the circumstances seem to
warrant. Gradually, however. responsibility for
the education Of Indians will be shifted to
the States and eventually the Indian citizen
viii be treated in no way differently from the
white children.

ber, which British intelligence recognized IS
that of the German Alpine Corps. What would
these Germans be doing in Austria If not pre-
pairing for the very attack the Americans in
Switzerland had predicted? But before the
truth had dawned wholly the storm broke.
Through italian troops demoralized by paci-
fism inspired by propaganda, struck the Ger
man spearheads of the Austrian army, which
came following after. The Italians lost hun
dreds of thousands of prisoners, thousands Of
guns, in one of the worst debacles any army
suffered during the World War.
Barely in time had they halted on the Piave
River. where the Italians now claim they
stopped the victorious Austro- Germans alone
and unaided. But it seemed then that French

Just how and where they got that infor-
nation remains today secret. 1t made Allied
Intelligence Services wonder. Italians and
French frightened guards on the world-famous

got confirmation that something was Matching.
Then far up in Flanders a British Tommy on

scarcely surprising when one remembers an
incident in the Bellevue Palace Hotel.
The great German Spring drive Of 1918 had
started smashing through the British, threat
ening to separate them and the French. Gen.
Willie and his adjutant entered the elevator,
finding there Hugh Wilson, then secretary. now
American Minister to Switzerland, who slightly
resembed an Austrian attache. Seeing him
in half light, Gen. Willie saluted, bowed, beamed
and rubbed his hands.
"Ah," he exclaimed, isn't it splendid? Thou
sands of prisoners hundreds of guns! A glo-
riouS victory"
The adjutant whispered in his ear. and Gen.
Willie hurriedly stopped the elevator and got out.
Which reminded the Americans of the famous
episode of the four colonies that little earlier
had set Switzerland by the ears. All were
so high on the Swiss general staff that they
received from German and allied STATS. daily.
reports of happenings on the front, detailed.
confidential, to gain the good will of the Swiss
staff.

THE Russian military attache when he de-
- livered the Russian report used to file for
telegraphing to Petrograd confidential mes
Sages in code. One evening he decided 70
withdraw a message already filed, and send
another Returning to the telegraph ofdce,
he found his original message had disappeared.
The officials acted queerly, sent out a messen-
ger, who brought back his telegram. The Rus
sian consulted some Of his colleagues.
Soon afterward the code expert of the Swiss
general staff-a French Swiss-went to the
minister of war and confessed that under or
derS from the four colonies he had been stop
ping and DECIDING messages that not only the
Russian, but other allied attaches sent home.
Shocked. the minister Of war questioned the
four colones-and found that they had been
passing on the decoded kilograms and the con-
f1dential allied reports to the German secret
service. The colonies were tried and convicted,
but the incident ranked in allied memory.
Even II years after, there may be compen-
sation in knowing that later the very Ger
man master spies who chuckled as they read
those kilograms and reports, talked freely with
certain persons who reported everything to the
Americans.
The Americans in Switzerland had to their
credit other and more important coups. It
was due to them perhaps, that the terrible
italian defeat at Caporetto in October 1917,
did not crush Italy and release a million Aus
trians to help crush French and British before
the Americans came. Had still other American
information been needed, there might eve
have been no Caporetto.
Their report from Switzerland said:
"The Austrians are preparing with German
help great offensive on the Italian 'front.'
They are using propaganda among the Italian
troops to prepare for it. They expect great
things from it,
But the heads of the Allied Intelligence Sery-
ices did not believe it. They had no definite
word OF German troop movments toward Italy.
Then from the Americans in Switzerland came
q second report, urgent:
The Germans and Austrians plan to pre-
vent all French or British aid reaching the
Italians. They have ordered their secret sery-
Ices, at the moment the great drive starts. to
blow up the Mount Gems tunnel, through which
troop trains bearing allied reinforcements would
