Ex-Commissioner Morgan's Criticism and a Counter-Criticism.

To t h e E d it o r o r t h e Tr i b u n e .Sii : In the Tribune of M ay 25, is a d fs-

patch from St. Pau l, s ta tin g th a t ex -In ­d ian C om m issioner T. J . M organ alleged a t the B aptist Convention th a t A rchbish­op Ire lan d and Senator Hanna, had en ­tered into po litica l conspiracy, and In ­dian schools were to be used in the in te r­ests of the C atholic C hurch.

W hat are the facts?A ll the C atholic C hurch asked was th a t

it m igh t have the sam e privileges a t all In d ian schools i t now and alw ays has had a t the C arlisle School; i. e., the privilege of giving religions instruction to the C a th ­olic ch ild ren a tten d in g the school. In the very beginning a t C arlisle all the pas­tors of the town, includ ing the C atholic priest, were invited to give such a tten tio n as they though t best to the ch ild ren com ­ing to the school from paren ts belong­ing to the ir p a rticu la r churches. There were P resby terian , M ethodist, Episcopa­lian, C atholic and o ther m issionaries a t work th roughou t the Ind ian field, and the In d ians com ing under th e ir influences were usually the m ost discontented w ith and inclined to break aw ay from the old life, and to aid these progressives seem ed to be a special d u ty of both church and sta te . C arlisle is a G overnm ent school, and the G overnm ent is non-sectarian . The Ind ians were the w ards of the Gov­ernm en t ;the G overnm ent had encouraged all the churches to work am ong them on th e ir reservations, and there was no rea ­son in the best in terests of the school why there should be less liberty to help them religiously a t the school than on the res­ervation . The local churches, including the C atholic, all p rom ptly responded to th is inv ita tion , and through all the tw enr ty two years of the school have welcomed our young people into the ir congregations and Sunday schools, and the d ifferen t pastors, inc lud ing the C atholic priest, have v isited them on w eekday evenings, giving such instruction as they though t best. This has been in no w ay d e trim en t­al to the pupils or the school, b u t instead , has been a g reat help to w h a t the Govern­ment was otherw ise doing through the

school. These privileges and services a t C arlisle, conceded, inv ited and used from the beginning, were in full flow w hile M organ was Com m issioner of Ind ian A f­fairs, and lie did not object then. W hy should lie object now?

If any man ever had the g rea test op ­portun ities to do the proper th in g for I n ­dian civ ilization , th a t m an is T. J . M organ. He took charge of the In d ian B ureau a t a tim e when all tilings were ripe for rapid and rig h t progress. The In d ia n s "woro largely educated up to the idea of learn ing ( lie w hite m a n ’s w ays in ac tu a l com petition w ith the w hite m an in the w hite m a n ’s com m unities, w hich is t he only com plete, as well as by fa r the qu ickest and cheapest w ay. The public generally had accepted th is idea; bu t General M organ, inspired by baneful reservation and shortsigh ted In d ian rights,influences and associations, becam e reac tionary and announced th a t the best way to give the Indian the w hite m an ’s education and civ ilization w as to continue to send them to him on his reservation.

His plan would get c iv ilization into the Ind ian by keeping him aw ay from c iv ili­z a tio n ; would detribalizo him by ed u cat­ing him in trib a l m asses; would build the courage, push and ab ility of A m erica into (lie Indian by continu ing to keep h im aw ay from A m ericans, and under the alien izing influences of tribe and reser­vation . To accom plish his purposes he a t once began and vigorously b u ilt up through his four y ea rs’ control a m ost un- A m erican class and race perpetuating sjrstem of tribal and home schools.

M organ conceived, published and nour­ished the pernicious idea th a t, inasm uch as the people who had moved in and were living near the In d ians claim ed they were discom m oded by them , they w ere the proper ones to receive all benefits accru ­ing from anv expend itu re of the public m oneys for Ind ians, as though th a t had an y th in g w hatever to do w ith the success­ful accom plishm ent of In d ian c iv ilization . H is constan t cry w a s : “ The public school system am ong the In d ia n s ,” w hich lie announced w as to begin w ith the p rim ary school and end w ith the college. Tow ard the accom plishm ent of th is he ben t his every energy and resisted every con trary suggestion.

T h a t the real public school system in w hich all races and conditions m igh t struggle together under equal opportuni­ties, when com pared witii his system of race and trib a l schools, w hich prevented a ll com petition w ith the o ther masses and lim ited the Ind ian to purely Ind ian contact, was as d ifferent as day is from night, lie seem ed unable to underst-m d. He sought and ob tained ex trao rd in ary increase of appropria tions from Congress for his various projects, influencing votes for appropria tions by estab lish ing schools in Legislative and Senatorial d is tric ts in the west am ong and near the tribes, and getting w estern towns and land boom ers to donate sites for schools for which- the G overnm ent w ould enrich the tow n or land com pany by expending large m oney for buildings and school plants, w ith all the contingent perpetual expenditures fo • runn ing the same. He was favored in every way in all liis projects, except the college W hen he asked Congress th a t certa in sections of land from every a llo tt­ed reservation be set aside to crea te e fund for In d ian colleges Congress halted .

M organ succeeded in fo isting upon and in com m itting the G overnm ent to his schem e of race and tribe build ing schools and th is is the real w eakness of the p resen t In d ian school system . As a result, the present In d ian Com m issioner, Mr.

Jones, is denouncing the schools and claim ing th a t they are no t doing w h a t the governm ent has a r ig h t to expect. The presen t In d ian system , includ ing schools, applied to any n a tio n a lity of foreigners em igrating to A m erica, w ould not only sap the ir m anhood, bu t w ould continue them foreigners indefin ite ly , though liv ­ing in th is coun try .

DIGNITY OF MANUAL LABOR.

In th is paper we have persisten tly preached the gospel of w ork, and have sought to ennoble it as ad iv in e and bless­ed tiling, and not a curse. This view , though old as hum an philosophy, is never very popular. B ut there is com fort and profit in it, for born to work are we—the v as t m ajo rity of us—and the closer we can accom m odate ourselves to our destiny tiie less irksom e will life become.

Prof. H enry Habin, form erly S ta te S u ­perin tenden t of schools in Iow a, has an artic le in the T eachers’ W orld th a t cor­roborates th is position so strongly and i h a t conta ins so m uch sound suggestion, especially for young m en and women who are leav ing school to launch ou t on the sea of the larger life, th a t we rep rin t i t here, as follows:

“ Opposite m y office w indow a new build ing is being erected. R apidly the w alls are rising under the hands of the skilfu l b rick -layers. One young m an particu la rly a ttra c ts m y a tten tio n . Face, neck and arm s are burned by the sun and w ind, and in the cool of the early m orn , ing, hatless and coatless he works. H is sh ir t is unbuttoned a t the th roa t, his h a ir pushed back from his forehead, and he w histles as he toils, every m uscle con­s ta n tly b rough t in to p lay, every action the poetry of m otion. H is hours are short, his pay good and sure and there is no one to nag or w orry h im . An a r tis t lie, and from brick throw n on m ortar and m o rtar on b rick w ith ap p aren t care less­ness, the w alls grow tie r on tie r, square and true.

“ Beyond him I look th rough an open window in to a clo th ing store, In the r e i r under an electric lig h t the bookkeep­er bends over his desk, posting, en tering , balancing. F rom e igh t till six he m oves his pen and puzzles w ith figures, and if the cash comes ou t wrong or his books do not balance h is ta sk continues into the sm all hours ol' the m orning. B ehind the counters, th e ir trousers carefully creased, th e ir p a ten t lea ther shoes g listening, the ir ch ins elevated in the a ir over high col­lars, s tand the clerks. F rom half-past seven in the m orning till eight, nine or ten <Fclock a t n ig h t they are on du ty , sh u t in from breeze and sun ligh t, p a tien t witli captious custom ers, ever polite to the fau lt-find ing, though head m ay ache and lim bs grow w eary . T heir faces are pale, th e ir w rists slender and the ir eyes lack the spark le of perfect hea lth . I t is w ith a feeling of relief th a t m y eyes w ander back to m y boy brick layer, s till w h is tlin g as he stra ig h ten s up to survey his work, the first rays of the sun now shooting over the top of a high bu ild ing and ju s t touching his hair.

“ If to boys ju s t leaving the g ram m ar or high school and im m ediately throw n on the ir own responsib ility only two posi­tions should o tter them selves, one as clerk and one as b rick layer, n inety-n ine ou t of one hundred w ould probably choose the form er. W hy? The pay is less and the hours are longer. Is it because there is m ore of an opportun ity of advance­m ent? The b rick layer by the exercise of th r if t and econom y m ay become a con­

trac to r or bu ilder and a m an of pow er and influence, as easily as the clerk m ay become the head of a d ep a rtm en t or the proprie to r of a business of his own. T he real reason is th a t the clerk is m ore gen ­teel, dresses bette r, h is hands do no t come in co n tac t w ith th e soil, and he has a b e tte r social s tand in g than he who handles brick or m ortar. Such is the u n ­w ritten law of m odern society.. The o ther day a college g rad u a te , whose fa th e r owns an Iow a farm , w ell stocked and im proved, sough t th rough m e to find a school. H e w as w illing to teach a t a sa la ry of forty-five or fifty do llars a m onth for nine m onths in the year. A sk ­ed w hy lie d id no t go back to the farm , he sa id : “ F a th e r w ants m e to, b u t i t seem s to me it would be th row ing aw ay m y education .” If he oou]d on ly see, as do those of us who have grown g ray in the service, th a t the profession is over­crow ded, not w ith m en of n a tu ra l a p t i­tude for such w ork, b u t w ith those who would be bette r off, m en ta lly , physica lly and financia lly , if back on th e ir fa th e r’s farm s! T hrough all bis years of school­ing he failed to learn th a t true education is never “ throw n a w a y ;” th a t i t is as valuable to the farm er as to the profes­sor, and th a t he who has read his books a rig h t w ill not come to an in te llec tual s tand still, how ever he m ay be em ployed.

“ W hen bu ilders and contractors call for laborers and artisans, w hile farm ers cry out for m en to come »nd help them in seed tim e or harvest, w hile housewives look in vain .for help in th e ir cooking and cleaning, our towns and cities are crow d­ed to suffocation w ith those who in the ir profession m ake scarcely enough to hold body and soul together, and w ith clerks drudging from 12 to ltf hours a day for a m ere p ittance , because they w ill not d is­grace them selves by m anual labor.

“ F a r be i t from me to critic ize the clerk , bookkeeper, or the young professional m an. A ny w ork well done is ennobling. B u t to m anual labor sk illfu lly perform ­ed, though there be d ir t on the hands and sw eat on the brow, there is a grace lost s igh t of by those who consider physical loafing necessary to the proper use of learn ing . To m ake doctors, law yers and m in isters is no t the purpose of our high schools or colleges. I t is to broaden and discipline the m ind, to increase the un ­derstanding , to inspire love of know ledge and to add cu ltu re and refinem ent to m ere physical developm ent. Our m anual tra in in g schools are doing m uch for the hand and eye as well as the b^ain. L e tth e good work go on, and if we do our du ty , the ideas of the com ing generation w ill be changed in these regards. L e t us do all in our power con tinually to im press on the m inds of our boys and g irls the d ign i­ty of m anual labor.—[P ath finder.

Horse’s Age.“ The popular idea th a t the age of a

horse can alw ays he told by looking a t his te e th ,” said a ve te rina ry surgeon, “ is not en tire ly correct. A fter the e igh th year the horse has no m ore new tee th , so th a t the tooth m ethod is useless for te lling the ago of a horse w hich is m ore th a n 8 years old. As soon as the se t of teeth is com plete, how ever, a w rinkle begins to appear on the upper edge of t he low er eye­lid, and a new w rink le is added each year, so th a t to get a t the age of a horse m ore than 8 y ears old you m u st figure the teeth plus the w rink les.—X

SeCond-class m a tte r .Do not hesitate to take this paper from the Post-Office, for it you have not paid for it some one else has.

Those who insis t th a t in dealing w ith the In d ia n we should rem em ber th a t he is a “ stone age m a n ” seem to have m is­tak en th e ir sim ile. All- th e ir contention c learly ind icates th a t L o t’s wife began to do the proper th ing and th a t “ p il­la r of s a l t” m an w ould be m ore the ir idea. They w ould have the In d ia n go back as well as look back w hich is as im ­possible in his case as in hers ; for the p la in , m oun tain and valley in w hich he lived his old life has been d ivested , as if by fire, of a ll the elem ents and features w hich m ade th a t old life possible.

L arg est developm ent of intelligence, courage, sk ill, influence, w ealth , etc., de­m ands w idest association, experience, and com petition. A m ericans and E n ­glishm en associate and com pete w ith the m en of a ll nations, hence th e ir p re-em i­n en t sym pathy , intelligence, and w ealth . D w arfing associa tion , experience and com petition shrivels and destroys in te l­ligence, courage and sk ill, and m akes even life itself not w orth the living. H ence the grow ing w orthlessness and de­struc tio n of the In d ian . Remove the un­reasonable and unreasoning influences th a t w all him off from a ll association, ex­perience, and com petition w ith o ther m en, and even now the In d ian w ill re ­v ive, recover, grow, com pete and come to take as good care of h im self as the average.

T here can be b u t one good reason for educating and tra in ing the Ind ian and th a t is to m ake him an equal, ind iv idual, com peting citizen. To spend m oney in ed u catin g and tra in ing him for any th ing less than th is is inexcusable waste and inv ites failure . C hanging his iden tity from useless In d ia n to useful citizen, w hile g rea t gain to the In d ia n and the G overnm ent, is inev itab le loss to some in terests .

So long as the In d ian is d ifferent and pecu liar he is occupation and income for the ethnologist. To m ake h im like o ther people takes from the ethnolog ist th a t source of occupation and incom e T here­fore i t is to be expected th a t the ethnolo­g is t w ill find fau lt w ith a system of edu­cation and tra in ing calcu lated to lose the In d ia n as an In d ian and m ake him a com m onplace citizen.

So long as the In d ian is p icturesque he is m a te ria l for the novelist. L ifted up (or b rough t down?) to the general level, he loses his special and exceptional fictional value. The p lans, therefore, th a t w ould m ake the In d ian an ind iv idual, useful, m anly citizen m ust not count on the support of the novelist.

Rem ote, m ysterious, pauper, pagan, the In d ia n is a field for exploring, ch ivalric , ph ilan th rop ic and religious effort, fu r­n ish ing opportun ity for d istinc tion and p ublic ity to a sp ira n ts in all these lines. To reduce the field does no t alw ays com ­po rt w ith all the views of these special­ists and therefore some opposition from them is to be an tic ip a ted by any m ove­m en t ca lcu la ted to end these conditions.

SAVE THEIR PRIMITIVE INDUSTRIES.

We are now asked to believe th a t there is g rea t resource for the In d ian in his p rim itive basket, p o tte ry and o ther na tive ind u strie s, and efforts to get him into the general industries of the coun try afe be­

little d in o rder to float the native indus­tries idea. It is even alleged th a t one In d ia n w om an m ade four baskets of such in im itab le w orkm anship as to secure the fabulous prices of $800, $1,200, $1,600 and $2,000 for them . The au tho r of th is s ta te ­m ent adds th is intended P a rth ia n arrow . “ Even if it takes a year to m ake such a basket, do you know of any g raduate of C arlisle th a t can earn th a t wage by any industry tau g h t there, to say no th ing of the difference betw een doing routine work and doing real a r t? ”

We frank ly ad m it th a t the $1,200, $1,600 and $2,000 basket, if m ade y early gets the bette r of us, bu t we can reach the $800 in several instances. I t is ev iden t the goose th a t lay s the golden egg has been found. W h e th e r there is a flock to follow or w h ethe r goslings to become geese of like quality m ay be incubated we are not inform ed C erta in it is th a t if the w om an’s speed can be developed a little and a few m ore m useum m anagers found who w ill buy her p roduct a t $2,000 each, it m ay be, she can come to support the w hole In ­dian population as well as she does her fam ily now, and even add a lux u ry now and then. B u t w h a t m useum would dare ex h ib it a basket m ade by any o ther god­dess of th a t m arvelous a rt? I f the “ re ­naissance of In d ian a r t ” idea sprouts and a half a dozen Ind ian women become equally ta len ted and notorious in the ex ­cellence of p roduction , would the com ­petition m a in ta in the prices? As i t is not proposed to allow the In d ia n the educa­tion, experience and opportun ity to m a n ­age his own business, w hat chances for speculation the conductors of th is schem e and the m iddlem en w ill have. We once gave $25 for an In d ian basket and we have never seen a m ore a rtis tic or d u r­able one. I t took the A pache wom an a m onth to m ake it. I f there was a m arket, Anglo Saxon sk ill could and w ould re ­produce th a t basket in every fea tu re and q u a lity for m uch less and m ake good prof­it. W e once gave $75 for a N ava jo b lan k ­et. I t was the real th ing and the biggest and one of the best m ade we ever saw. There w as and is a m arket, and N avajo b lankets by the carload are m ade by c iv ­ilized com petitors in G erm any and New Jersey , sh ipped west and sold a t far less prices. W e know a place w here dealers in In d ia n bric-a-brac have m ade a good liv ing Sor m any years by selling w h at purported to be In d ian goods, and we doubt if a single artic le sold in tw enty years was m ade by the Ind ians. The In ­d ians say not. We w ere recently in E g y p t and were im portuned by natives a t every tu rn w ith E gyp tian curios to sell, both an c ien t and m odern, even scar- abee from the tom bs of old Soti and R ain­eses, b u t generally m ade in Europe.

Is there a field of production in an y line e ithe r of a r t or of general u tility w hich m ay be exclusively occupied by the I n ­dian and become his solo or even partia l support? I t does not seem to us there is, and w hile we wish m ost h ea rtily all suc­cess to the rare old w om an whose ach ieve­m ents m u st take rank w ith R aphael's (m ay no un tow ard influence end or de­crease her labors or th e ir fru its!), we are forced to decline to build hope for the I n ­

though i t m ay be.C om parison to m ake C arlisle odious is

used Tn reply we can claim th a t the pu­pils of C arlisle earned for them selves la s t yea r a t “ rou tine w ork” nearly $29,000and from w h a t wo know about it we believe a ll the gains (we w ont say earnings) of all the In d ians th roughou t the whole country , through all (.he efforts of all the In d ian In d u stria l Leagues p u t together did not am oun t to th a t m uch. These C arlisle pupils m ade these earn ings and a t the sam e tim e gave the usual tim e to school a ttendance and m ade fair average progress th e re in . There was no appeal to the ch aritab le public for m oney to m ake th is “ rou tine w ork” go, nor was the ir work given to them in any sense as a ch arity nor d id they receive in any case exceptional prices. The whole schem e is “ ro u tin e” and supports itself. A lw ays has and had the youth been a t C arlisle and availab le the receipts w ould have inure than doubled because people

who had “ routine w ork” th a t m ust be done applied for help to m ore than double the am oun t of w hat we could furnish . B u t doing th is “ rou tine w ork” and m ak ­ing these large earn ings w as not by an y m eans the on ly or g rea test gain for them and the country . In doing it the Ind ian boys and girls becam e acclim ated to c iv ­ilized life and occupations and both the In d ia n s and the w hites discovered th a t neither was as bad and w orthless as the o ther thought. “ A rt” as a resource of incom e for In d ia n s is con trasted w ith “ routine w o rk ” by saying the la tte r is “ w ashing of po ts and k e ttle s” and “ m ak ­ing b rogans.” W e can safely pass such s ta tem en ts over to the d iscrim inating judgem ent of the people who are taxed $8,000,000 a year to carry th is Ind ian en ­cum brance. The “ pots and k e ttle s” have to be w ashed and the “ brogans” have to be m ade, for all people, b u t some of the people can get on w ithout “ $2,000” baskets. The trouble is th a t people w ith $2,000 basket ideas have been in the way all the tim e and seem determ ined to con­tinue in the w ay. If the In d ians are to be ta u g h t th a t “ w ashing pots and k e ttle s” and m aking “ brogans” is d isrepu tab le and th a t the high a r t of m aking baskets a t $2,000 each is the only th in g for them to do, there w ill be a g rea t a d d itio n to our d iseouragingly long period of w ait­ing for the In d ia n to take his place am ong the w orld’s self-supporting w orkers.

Curious.

To see a ce leb rated In d ia n Society con­tend for years to secure the ending of In d ian reservations, and now dem and th a t the G overnm ent sh a ll buy land and estab lish a reservation for certa in In ­dians who are perhaps as capable as any we have to move ou t and contend in the general affairs of the country .

There is no such C arlisle g raduate , nor any K iow a or o ther in th a t region of such w ealth , nor is any Ind ian from there off' on any such trip .

THE INDIAN— HIS PRESENT.

H e is like a stray horse—everybody is w an ting to see him . There is no Ind ian today b u t is a ttrac tiv e and fu ll of in terest. A ll eyes tu rned on him . W hy is it? H e is not a salon, nor railroad m agnate, nor a m erch an t prince, nor a John P ierpont M organ, H e is not a g rea t evangelist, nor a person of royal rank , nor a high of­ficial of the U nited S tates G overnm ent. He is only a poor Lo. Yet, in popular parlance, he seem s to be of a g rea t deal of

w ith H e is liv ing a t the top of the pot. B u t friend ly strangers have sought abode w ith h im , volun teering to take care of h is surp lus dom ain, and in the shuffle the Ind ian has been cau g h t up in the w hirl on an everlasting picnic. Thus is carried ou t the old saying, come easy, go easy ; le t each day provide for itself.

H is m oney is a ll in large bills, and lie has to m ortgage tw enty do llars to get fifty cents w orth of change. H e is pu t nex t to the fact th a t no t every m an in the U nited S tates can boast of 160 acres of te rra firm a; th a t there will be lots of land left a fte r he is done w ith ; th a t i t is no use to be a hale fellow well m e t unless he is a hell of a fellow.

The In d ian long ago cared very little for m oney. H e could do wi tho u t and feel very little inconvenienced. B u t the I n ­dian of th is en ligh tened age, being m ore Civilized, lias learned th a t the ra ttle of

silver in one’s jeans com m ands respect. So he lets go of a few acres of land and is happy. N o th ing like pu tting on ap p ear­ances. I t is A m erican to do so. W hy can ’t he, the m ost uncom prom ising A m erican.

The In d ia n will hold his head up and step in the fron t push as long as his land holds out. H e w ill live easy enough though he dies a hard death There area few Ind ians who are holding back—th a tis, not selling any lan d —and depriving them selves of high liv ing. They seem to have forgotten th a t they are liable to drop off any m in u te ; th a t there is b u t one life on th is earth .

Now, in regard to the picnic hereinbe­fore m entioned, a g rea t m any ta lk like th is : “ You w ill sell a ll of your lands and be paupers w ith in a few y ea rs .” T his sort of ta lk m ay be a ll righ t, b u t we are not heeding it, because we are also told th a t there w ill be p lenty of land left when we are dead and gone. So we are tak ing the m oney offered for our land and hav ing a good tim e, for tom orrow we m ay die and leave a lo t of land for our poor kin folks to w rangle over in the courts, caus­ing the legal fra te rn ity no end of bother.

These few rem arks on the p resen t of the In d ia n we will proceed to join the pic­nickers and shou t “ on w ith the dance, le t joy be unconflned!”—C h a r e e s G ib s o n , in In d ia n Jo u rn a l.

SUCCESS.

“ Success in life consists in doing com ­mon tilings uncom m only w ell,” says Jo h n D. Rockfeller. The words of th is successful m an are w orthy out a tten tion . We shall find th a t the m ore we th in k of them the m ore we w ill be im pressed by the ir tru th .

B u t how are we able to do “common things uncom m only w ell,” no t in spurts , bu t in a level, beautifu l uniform ity? The secret m anifestly lies in getting into the work in w hich your h e a rt is. D istasteful w ork requires a vast am oun t of energy sim ply to “brace up” to do it. W hy not save th is energy and m ake it count in work in w hich you have fullness of joy? W h at th is work is m ust bejfor you to decide. E n v iro n m en t m ay h ind er,o b sta­cles in tervene, b u t it w ill come if your de­sire and determ ination are strong enough.

Look a t the g rea t m en of the world. Did any one of them become g reat through doing work th a t was hatefu l to him ? No, they becam e g rea t in doing work to w hich they w ere ca lled ; work for w hich they cared so m uch th a t no th ing looking to its fu rtherance m ean t to them self-sac­rifice or hardsh ip .

Take those in hum ble hom es—the prosperous sm all grocer, the jovial f ru it stand m an, the en thusiastic little m illiner > —they are a ll happy in th e ir work and are successful in it. Is i t conceivable th a t they would be nearly so successful or happy if they had to drive them selves to the ir da ily tasks?

The th ing , then , is to be able to enjoy your work and to take pride in i t; to care for it so m uch th a t you w ill be w illing to exchange i t for no o ther. I t w ill then prove a blessing to yourself and to others, and be done as no o th er work, how ever conscientiously u n der­taken, could be done by you.—X

T H E R ED M A N A N D H E L P E R —F R ID A Y, JU L Y 4, 1902,INDIAN EDUCATION.

The education of m y race is a problem th a t is now receiv ing m uch a tten tion both from the church and s ta te .

Before the w hite m an had an y th in g to do w ith it, the red m a n ’s education was very p rim itive , b u t there was one very good fea tu re about it, i t was practica l. As soon as the boy w as old enough, he was ta u g h t the use of the bow and arrow , the tom ahaw k, the sling and a ll o ther in s tru ­m ents necessary for his m ain tenance and defence. H e was ta u g h t no t only the w ays and hab its of an im als, bu t to observe for h im self conditions of c lim ate and su r­roundings. As an illu stra tion , we have the In d ia n ’s w onderful ab ility in trac ing tra ils of enem ies or th a t of an im als. I n ­d ians in w arfare w ould a tte m p t to deceive the enem y by w alk ing in each o thers foot­steps, b u t there were sk ilfu l eyes th a t could tell alm ost w ith accuracy the num ­ber of w arriors th a t were on the m arch. The In d ian m an was a w arrio r and a h u n t­er, and every step in h is education d u r­ing childhood, was to p repare him for the life he was to lead in m anhood. He was usually told the h isto ry and trad itions of his tribe, in order th a t his pride m igh t a l­w ays be a stim ulus to him in a ll his un­dertak ings.

W hen the race was conquered by a m ore advanced and a far* stronger race, and w hen the n a tu ra l conditions of life changed, w hen he could no longer choose his own ideals for w hich to labor, th is sort of education was no longer adequate. I t m u st be different, else they would be w iped ou t of existence. A t th is po in t the conquerors stepped forw ard and took it upon them selves to give them th is 'new ed­ucation . One school a fte r ano ther was estab lished , w orkers were called for and th e y cam e. The In d ia n w as tau g h t to read , w rite and reckon and usua lly to w ork.

Is the re an aim , a definite aim , a defi­n ite ideal for w hich these schools are w orking? Tf there is, w h a t is it? Yes, there is, in a general w ay an aim , and th a t is to tra in In d ians for c itizenship. I t is the aim of the schools both in A m er­ica and C anada.

Then im m ediately comes an o th er ques­tion. There are m any classes of citizens in a ll countries. W hat so rt of citizens m ay the In d ia n s be m ade into? M ust the education of all In d ians be ju s t the sam e? Can it be the sam e? L et us look ju s t for a m inu te into hum an n a tu re . Take the people of C anada. W hat so rt of citizens m ay they be m ade into? Shall they all en ter the professions? If they do, then they m u st depend en tire ly on foreign farm ers to produce th a t w hich shall feed and clothe them . Then m ust they a ll be farm ers? If so, then they m ust depend on some o ther people to m anage the po lit­ical, religious and professional affairs.

I t is qu ite plain th a t any nation or race m ust have a d ivision of labor. N ext, each one should carefu lly exam ine him self to find the pecu lia r endow m ent w hich God has seen fit to bestow upon him . Then when he lias found out th is, he m ust seek th a t education th a t w ill best develop h is pecu liar ta len ts . I f th is be the case of the citizens of C anada, it is surely the case of any nation or race.

I t is so w ith In d ians. God has gran ted them a largo num ber of ta len ts , often w idely differing from one ano ther. There are those whom God in tended to fulfil in ­d u stria l functions, o thers for functions requ iring special in te llec tual ab ility .

In any case,the aim of a ll schools, of all w orkers, should be the em ancipation of the In d ian from the bondage of ignorance and superstition . This m u st first be ac­com plished, then the tra in ing for c itizen ­ship m ust follow. This m eans above all th ings else th a t he m u st learn to be self- supporting . H is educators m ust take in­to account his needs and capab ility of de­velopm ent.

The In d ian like any o ther race has long estab lished hab its and custom s, some of w hich he m ust drop of course; bu t it is not rig h t to expect h im to do so, and then to jum p in a few short school years into the civ ilization w hich it has taken the w hite race thousands of years to reach.

I t m u st be rem em bered th a t w hen the I n ­dian w as overpow ered, conquered and m ade to come under and to conform to the ru les and law s of a stronger nation , his pride and d ign ity w ere deep ly hum il­iated . More than th a t, w hile we reg re t it, we are obliged to ad m it th a t too often those placed over him have expended, th e ir energies in m aking him m ore de­pendent.

In m any cases he has been pauperized and d iscip lined un til his m anhood was crushed , his pride and am bition w ithered and deadened w ith in h im . A t th is point he has become indo len t and lost a ll con­fidence in him self. J u s t then we notice the absence of ideals, and when there is no constan t dem and on his am bition the In d ia n soon ceases to crave excellence and he sinks to the fatal condition of m en ta l som nolence. In th is condition his ta len ts w ith e r and his conscience becomes do rm an t. I consider th a t th is is the origin of the im pression am ong w hite people th a t the In d ian is sh iftless. Indolence m asters am bition , and the ground is p repared for the free en trance of vice.

On the o ther hand, the w hite people have in m any cases accom plished m uch tow ards b ring ing out the good th a t is in the In d ian . They havb been able to ap ­peal to the rem ain ing good qualities in the aborigines, and, best of all, they did no t forget to b ring the lig h t of C h ris t­ian ity to m y race. I f we had gained no th ing m ore than th is by the com ing of the w hite m an to th is con tinen t, we would have been well repaid for the loss of our ex tensive territo ries and our p rim itive liberties. B u t w ith th is we are receiving an education w hich is perhaps to a cer­ta in ex ten t, even b e tte r p lanned than th a t given to our w hite neighbors, for w ith them it is m ain ly the in te llec tu a l devel­opm ent th a t is sought, b u t for us the all around developm ent of the head, h ea rt and hand is sought.

In order th a t we m ay learn to live as our w hite b ro thers and to com pete w ith him , i t is necessary th a t we receive m uch tra in ing for developm ent of the powers of the head. A nd again , we canno t learn from the books the w hite teachers b ring us w ith o u t learn ing som ething of God, and the w h ite people have rem em bered well C h ris t’s in junction th a t the Gospel be p reached to a ll nations. A gain, the industries w hich the In d ians used to ca r­ry on could no longer supply the ir w ants and needs, and liv ing w ith the m ore ad ­vanced and cu ltu red w hite people, our hands m ust be trained to perform w ork h ith e rto unknow n to them .

The In d u stria l schools, therefore, have perhaps been able to do m ost for the I n ­dians. There is b u t one th ing i. connec­tion w ith the education of m y race in C anada w hich I cannot cease to regret, and th a t is the age lim it. I t is no t be­cause I w an t to feel th a t the governm ent does not pay out enough m oney for them , nor because I th in k i t does no t do enough for them . If any th ing I th in k perhaps it gives them too m uch.

I would like to see the day w hen even in the governm ent schools they m ay have to work hard er to get the ir education. For no th ing can develop ch arac te r m ore th a n strugg ling for know ledge and cu l­ture, and I belibve th a t God helps those who help them selves. B u t for a pupil to be allow ed to go out of school as a g rad ­uate when ho is e ighteen, regardless of his stand ing in school, {seems to me a m istake.

W hen a pupil feels th a t so soon as he reaches th a t age he w ill become his own m aster, i t m akes little difference to him w hether he works hard to advance or not. W hereas if he had a certa in standard to reach, he w ill instinc tively ex ert h im self to a tta in th a t s tand ard .

H is am bition canno t help bu t be roused. Then again , w hen a pupil has reached eighteen , he has a ttended school ju s tlo n g enough to en tire ly get over his lonesome- ness and to get in terested in his lite rary and in d u stria l work. H e has learned on­ly the beginnings of things. W hen tu rn ­ed out a t th is stage, i t is no wonder th a t perseverance is often a q u a lity lack ing in his life.

W hite people p u t through the sam e process, I th in k , w ould do no better.

—E . L. Co r n e l iu s , in Progress.HOW THE FOURTH OF JULY SHOULD

BE CELEBRATED.

I t is very n a tu ra l th a t the people should recall the D eclaration of Independence, for i t is in th a t docum ent th a t the words “ U nited S ta te s” first appear. I t is true th a t they appeared in a docum ent draw n up a t a m eeting of m y countrym en, chiefly P resby terians, a yea r before in N orth C arolina bu t i t was not u n til 177(5 th a t the D eclaration was accepted.

The one hundred and tw enty-one years (spoken in 1897) through w hich we have passed since the prom ulgation of the D eclaration of Independence, have been m arked by steady advancem en t in re ­ligion, science, lite ra tu re , and the general good, and it is em inen tly fitting th a t the day should be celebrated in a m anner w hich gives ready acknow ledgm ent of G od’s goodness to th is nation .

I could w ish th a t the day was ce leb ra t­ed in a m anner som ew hat d ifferen t from w hat it is. I th in k the m oney spen t in buying firecrackers in a ll p arts of the country , w hich go to the m aking of use­less noise, could be expended in a w ay th a t would do a far g rea ter am oun t of good.

I t m ig h t be em ployed in the education of those who come to our shores ignoran t of the princip les of our governm ent and unable to gain th a t know ledge requisite for good citizens. I f the m oney were spen t iu th is w ay, I th in k it w ould be a m ore appropria te w ay of recalling the day.

As C hristian citizens the re are certain du ties incum ben t upon us w hich have to do w ith the prom otion of com fort and prosperity am ong our fellow -beings. In doing these we should see to i t th a t we are not w orking in the in te re st of one or the o ther of the political parties. All those who have m ade the ir hom es am ong us should be tau g h t the value of those princip les w hich go to m ake up good citizensh ip , and to use w isely the p riv i­leges th a t are given them . I t is the du ty of every foreigner com ing to th is country to become a citizen as soon as practicab le . As soon as I could become a citizen of th is nation , I availed m yself of the oppor­tu n ity , and never once since I took out m y papers have I on election day failed to cast m y vote for the cand idate for national, S ta te , or m unicipal office who, in m y opinion, was best qualified to per­form the du ties of th a t office.

Foreigners should be tau g h t to vote for men and princip les w hich conscience and intelligence declare to be the right, and in th is w ay we can be true to the p rinc i­ples of those who m ade the celebration of Independence D ay possible.—The late Jo h n H all, D. D.

THE FIRST SALUTE TO OLD GLORY.

The little “ R ang er” ran slow ly betw een the frowning F rench frigates, looking as w arlike as th e y ; h e r m en sw arm ed like bees into the rigging, and her colors ran up to sa lu te the flag of his m o s t C hristian M ajesty of F rance, and she fired one by one her sa lu te of th irteen guns, says S arah Orne Jew e tt, in the “ A tla n tic .”

There w as a m om ent of suspense, the w ind was very lig h t now ; the powder sm oke drifted aw ay, and the flapping sails

sounded loud overhead. W ould the adm ira l answ er back, or w ould he trea t th is bold challenge like a handkerch ief w aved a t h im from a pleasure boat? Some of the officers on the “ R ang er” looked incredulous, bu t P aul Jones still held his le tte r in his hand . There was a puff of w hite sm oke and the g rea t guns of the F rench flagship began to shake the a ir ,—one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, e igh t,—nine; and then w ere still, save for th e ir echoes from the low h ills about C arnac and the g rea t d ru id M ount of St. M ichael.

“ H enry G ardner, you m ay tell the men th a t th is was the sa lu te of the k ing of F rance to our R epublic , and the first high honor to our F lag ,” said the cap tain proudly to his s te e rsm an ; b u t they were all huzzaing now along the “ R ang er’s ” decks, the little ship whose nam e shall never be forgotten w hile her country lives.

The cap tain lifted his head, and stood looking up a t the flag.

“W e hard ly know w h at th is day m eans, gen tlem en ,” he said soberly to his officers who cam e about him . “ I believe we are a t the beginning of the g rea test nation th a t was ever born into the world. The day sha ll come when A m erica, republic though she m ay be, w ill sa lu te no foreign flag w ithou t receiving gun for g u n !”
