Indian education is a failure; look at the number who return to the reservation only to don the blanket; and look at the greater number of university graduates who, in spite of environment and education sink into oblivion and revert to type.

 feet long, were sold for SIS. Eight engines, costing from s26,OO to $3O,OO0 apiece, were sold for $500.
 Other engines costing up to $60,0O0 were sold for $1 ,O0O, and one engine costing about $1O5, ,OOO was sold for $2,500. Mail Contract Pays Bill
 One line of several ships, on which the Fleet Corporation had been losing money was sold for S325,OO0. The Fleet Corporation agreed to recondition the ships before delivery, which would cost more than half that sum. Ot the purchase price, only $28,674 was paid.
 So far as cash is concerned, ii would seem that the government was about $140,000 worse off for this sale; but that is not all the story. Before the deal was made the buyers got a mail contract running for 10 years and paying from $35O,0O0 to $;5O,0O0 per year. McCarl says:
 "The proceeds from tn mail contract for one year will more than provide for the cost of the line"
 Debts Cancelled for Fraction
 It appears from Mir. McCarIs report that the Merchant Fleet Corporation seldom, if ever, held anyone to the terms of his con- tract with the government. The usual procedure seems to have been to buy from Uncle Sam on credit, default on the payments, and then the kindly, generous Merchant Fleet Corporatio n would cancel the debt for a frac- ton of it's face value.
 A debt of 1923, 1928 was cancelled for a payment of $1,OOO
 A debt of $1OO,000 was canceI- ed for $16,OOO.
 A debt of 5000 was cancelled for $7,OOO.
 Tn certain cases" says the re- port, "sales were made without advertising or competitive bid ding.
 Notes Bought at Big Discount
 "A debtor whose indebtedness was over $1,5OO,OOO was allowed to buy his own notes, indirectly, for S128,750 Notes of a company amounting to over $6,50O,0oo were sold to the president of that company for $9O8, ITS; of which S608,0O0 was in cash, and the balance in notes secured by stock which later became worthless. "Notes were sold to a company for $77,980 representing an in |debtedness of it's subsidiaries of ever $5 .5OO,OOO." McCarl does not give the JOSEPH o. RUDE Physician and Surgeon
