No. 4. - - * * * * * - - -AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. - - * * * * * - -We devote the greater part of this number of the MISSIONARY to the -Indian problem. Communications will be found from Capt. Pratt, -Gen. Armstrong, Hon. Carl Schurz and Prof. Riggs. These gentlemen -have made the condition of the Indian a study for some years, and, -by experience in public service, in the army, and by educational -and religious endeavors, have had rare opportunities to test -their theories and principles by practical efforts in behalf of -the Indians. We know of no men more competent to speak on the -subject or more worthy of the confidence of the public. Statistics -relating to our Indian work, including that recently transferred -to us by the American Board, are given. As we now are charged with -the entire work done by the Congregationalists for the American -aborigines, we trust we shall have the prayers and help needful for -doing it efficiently. - - * * * * * - - -FINANCIAL. - -Our _receipts_ show a falling off. Five months of the fiscal year -are ended, and the receipts from donations are $20,774.39 less -than for the corresponding months of last year; from legacies -only $17,471.44 more. The decrease is in the contributions of -living donors, and upon these rather than upon legacies, which -are fluctuating and uncertain, must the Association rely for its -regular support. Its _work_ was never more successful or needed. -The kind of schools and churches it establishes, and the preachers -and teachers it sends forth, are becoming more fully appreciated. -We are urgently invited to enter new and unusually promising -openings for an enlarged church work. The valuable service rendered -by our increased corps of lady missionaries makes a strong demand -for large additions to their number. The Indian work received by -the Association from the American Board will add about $20,000 -to the expenditures of the year, without the enlargement which -it so greatly needs. The Chinese work makes a strong appeal for -additional accommodations for the increasing number of pupils in -the schools. - -Without an increase of receipts, or the creation of a debt, -the Association cannot enlarge its work, or even sustain it in -its present condition. Our Executive Committee feel themselves -pledged against a debt by their promises to the public and by -their own deep convictions of duty. But they confidently believe -that the conscientious donors who have stood by the Association -so faithfully in the past will promptly render such efficient -assistance as will not only save it from debt or curtailment, but -will authorize enlargement. - - * * * * * - - -MUST HAVES. - -The following “must haves” sent us in a private letter from -President Ware, of Atlanta, illustrate the urgency of the appeals -that constantly come to us from our different workers South. -Mr. Ware says: “We must have buildings; we must have endowments -for running expenses; we must or go to the wall; we must have -building for grade B; for model school building, $8,000; we must -have cottage in girls’ lot for housekeeping instruction, $5,000; -we must have new hall for girls, $25,000, that will give room for -100 girls; we must have shop for industries, carpenter, etc., and -endowment for support of man in that department, about $50,000 for -both;” a batch, it will be seen, of $88,000, with no estimate of -the amount needed for general endowment. We believe that it has -been found so far by those who have put their money into Atlanta -University that it has yielded “some thirty, some sixty, and some -an hundred fold.” The stock is not all taken. We invite investors -to examine the “points” in this venture, and trust that the merits -of the security will warrant a speedy absorption of the entire -amount called for. - - * * * * * - -We are cheered by many kind words relating to the AMERICAN -MISSIONARY, and believe that those interested in the nation’s -welfare, and especially in the redemption of the South, find in -it much to encourage them to hope and to give in behalf of the -people for whom we labor. Nothing, however, gives more evidence -of appreciation than the steady response to our appeals for paid -subscriptions. So far this year these have been very gratifying. -The price is fifty cents, and we hope there will be no abatement -of interest on the part of our friends in helping us place the -magazine on a paying basis. - - * * * * * - -In the list of the teachers at Hampton, as reported in the February -_Missionary_, the name of Miss Waldron should have been put as Miss -M. M. Waldron, M.D., School Physician. - - * * * * * - - -DEATH OF MRS. G. S. POPE. - -After an illness of ten days, terminating in malarial pneumonia, -Mrs. Pope died Feb. 2, at Tougaloo University, Tougaloo, Miss. For -the past fifteen years she had been engaged in missionary work -under the A. M. A., laboring in Montgomery, Louisville, Selma, -Talladega and Tougaloo. Mrs. Pope brought into her work rare -qualities of mind and heart. Her good judgment, her readiness in -emergencies and her kindly interest in every one was an inspiration -to all. Her death will be sorely felt, not only by her husband and -two little boys, but by the large corps of workers, and the pupils -with whom she has been associated for so many years. - - * * * * * - - -The conventions held in Connecticut by the Congregational -benevolent societies during February were well attended. One -hundred and eleven churches were invited and eighty-eight -represented. The meetings for April will be held in the following -order: Tuesday, the 3d, Thomaston, morning and afternoon; -Wednesday, the 4th, Waterbury, 2d church, morning and afternoon; -Thursday, the 5th, New Britain, afternoon and evening; Tuesday, -the 10th, New Haven, Davenport Church, afternoon and evening; -Wednesday, the 11th, Rockville, 1st church, morning and afternoon; -Thursday, the 12th, Putnam, morning and afternoon; Tuesday, -the 17th, Norfolk, morning and afternoon; Wednesday, the 18th, -Torrington, 3d church, morning and afternoon; Thursday, the -19th, West Winsted, morning and afternoon; Tuesday, the 24th, -Danielsonville, morning and afternoon; Wednesday, the 25th, -Norwich, 2d church, morning and afternoon; Thursday, the 26th, New -London, 1st church, morning and afternoon; Friday, the 27th, New -Haven, Fair Haven, 1st church, morning and afternoon. - - * * * * * - -“SERMONS AND SPEECHES,” by Rev. Atticus G. Haygood, D.D., is the -title of a neat volume issued by the Southern Methodist Publishing -House, Nashville. It contains 428 pages, and is offered at the low -price of $1.25. The sermon likely to attract the most attention is -on “The New South, Gratitude, Amendment, Hope.” It was preached -on Thanksgiving Day, 1880, and circulated extensively in pamphlet -form. “A Christian Citizen,” another sermon, is perhaps of equal -merit, and especially pertinent to the condition of affairs South. -The addresses of special interest to the general reader relate -to “The Negro—A Citizen” and “The New South from a Southern -Standpoint.” These addresses are comprehensive, catholic and kindly -in spirit. Dr. Haygood convinces his readers of his sincerity, and -charms them by the vigor and freshness of his style. Every word he -utters indicates his purpose to do good. The circulation of these -sermons and speeches will do much to create better feeling between -well-disposed people North and South. We wish the book the success -it merits. - - * * * * * - - -Pursuant to the action taken at our last Annual Meeting relating -to a petition requesting a report on the policy of the Association -in regard to race or color prejudice in the support of schools or -churches, our Executive Committee, to whom the matter was referred, -have passed the following minutes. - -I. That in accordance with the New Testament doctrine upon which -the Association was founded, and by which it has from the beginning -been governed, that God has made of one blood all the nations of -men, we reiterate the rule, which we believe that fidelity to -Christ requires, that all our churches and schools shall open their -doors impartially to persons of every class, race and color. - -II. That in obedience to the same New Testament doctrine, we shall -require that all churches aided by us shall unite with neighboring -churches of the same faith and order in Christian fellowship in -the same conferences or associations, and in other usual means of -fraternity and fellowship, making no distinctions on account of -race or color. - -III. That this Association will not enter upon any new church work -in any city or town where the American Home Missionary Society has -already established a church work, without previous conference with -the officers of its sister Society. - -Minutes similar in purport to the above have been passed by the -Home Missionary Society. - - * * * * * - - -BENEFACTIONS. - -Mr. William Backnell, of Philadelphia, has given $60,000 to the -University of Lewisburg, Pa., for endowment purposes. - -Westminster College is to receive $2,000 from the estate of Miss -Jane A. Thompson, of Missouri. - -The late Mr. Samuel Willets gave $100,000 to Swarthmore College, a -Quaker institution, near Philadelphia. - -Dartmouth College is to receive $50,000 from the estate of the late -George T. Wilson, of Providence, R.I. - -It is reported that Wm. H. Vanderbilt has recently given $100,000 -to Vanderbilt University, at Nashville, Tenn. - -Mrs. Mary Young has given $500,000 to Fall River, Mass., for the -establishment of a school of high rank. The gift is made in memory -of an only son. - -Washburn College received a Christmas gift of $1,000 from Mrs. -Emily G. Williston, of East Hampton, Mass., and a New Year’s -offering of $1,000 from Hon. Wm. Hyde, of Ware, Mass. - -By the will of the late Wm. E. Dodge, of New York, the Syrian -Protestant College is to receive $20,000; Lincoln University, -$10,000; Howard University, Atlanta University and Hampton -Institute, $5,000 each. - -Miss Baxter has given $50,000 to provide a laboratory for a college -at Dundee, Scotland, which was founded by herself and her cousin, -Dr. Baxter, some years ago, at an expense of $750,000. - -Mrs. Adeline Smith, of Oak Park, Ill., recently gave $11,000 for -the founding of a Philander Smith chair in the University of Little -Rock, Ark., to be a perpetual memorial of her husband, who died -about a year ago. - -_Permanent endowments are needed in order that the institutions of -the American Missionary Association may achieve that larger success -which is rightly expected of them. Every consideration of the past, -of the present and of the future, enforces the demand that these -endowments should be provided at once._ - - * * * * * - - -GENERAL NOTES. - - -AFRICA. - -—The German Reichstag has voted an appropriation of one million -marks to defray the expenses of an expedition now being fitted out -for the exploration of Central Africa. - -—The Church Missionary Society have received tidings from their -Uganda Mission at Mtesa’s capital that five young men have been -baptized, the first fruits of the mission. - -—Notwithstanding the presence of General Matthews with the troops -of the Sultan of Zanzibar, a brisk trade in slaves is going on at -Mombassa. General Matthews is now fighting with a rebel chieftain -who has a settlement not far from Mombassa where he receives -runaway slaves. - -—The Church Missionary Society of England is about to begin -missionary operations in Egypt. It is to be under the care of Rev. -F. A. Klein, an able Arabic scholar. The same society had a station -at Cairo in the beginning of this century, but abandoned it in 1824. - -—The English Baptists have established a station at Stanley Pool. -The new missionary ship “Peace” is now ready to be shipped to the -Congo. Mr. Stanley is about to publish an account of the results of -his explorations. The French government has recently appropriated -about $300,000 to defray the expenses of De Brassa’s expedition. - -—The famous work of Miss Whately, daughter of Archbishop Whately, -who for years carried on her work at Cairo, at her own charges, -is a very interesting branch of Egyptian missions. The Khedive -presented Miss Whately with land for her buildings, and her Cairo -schools number 300 boys and 200 girls, more than two-thirds of the -girls and half the boys being Moslems. She has a branch school of -ninety pupils at Damietta. - - -THE CHINESE. - -—There are now between three and four hundred Christian schools in -China, containing over six thousand pupils. - -—It is pointed out as a significant fact that the missions -in Japan, which have been so prosperous, were started by a -contribution sent by Christian converts of the Hawaiian Islands. - -—There are in New York City and vicinity 500 Chinese laundries, -managed by about 2,000 Chinamen. No foreigners are more -industrious, more peaceable, or more anxious to conform to the laws -of the land. None are so reliable in their business arrangements or -so desirous for instruction in mission schools. - -—There are at present in connection with Protestant missions in -China more than 600 stations and out stations; more than 300 -organized churches, a goodly number of them self-supporting, and -some 20,000 communicants. - - * * * * * - - - - -THE INDIANS. - - * * * * * - - -WORK TRANSFERRED BY THE AMERICAN BOARD. - -By vote of the Prudential Committee of the American Board, the -entire Dakota Mission was transferred to the American Missionary -Association, to take effect Jan. 1, 1883. We give the statistics -of the Mission as published in the last Annual Report of the -Board. But some of the churches in the list (especially those at -the Sisseton Agency) are reported as having transferred themselves -to the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, prior to Jan. 1, -1883. When the Prudential Committee of the American Board and the -officers of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions have decided -the questions on this subject, which seem to be at issue between -them, we will correct the list accordingly, if any change shall be -found necessary. - -Fort Berthold (Dakota Territory).—Chas. L. Hall, _Missionary_; Miss -Eda L. Ward, Miss Sophronia B. Pike, _Assistant Missionaries_. One -church at Devil’s Lake, sixteen members. - -Fort Sully (Dakota Territory). Peoria Bottom.—Thomas L.

Renville, Daniel Renville, Louis -Mazawakinyanna, David Greycloud, Joseph Iron Door, Charles R. -Crawford, _Native Pastors_. Six churches, four hundred and ten -members. - -4 stations; 9 out-stations; 9 churches; 4 missionaries; 3 American -male assistant missionaries; 12 female assistant missionaries; 5 -other teachers; 10 native pastors; 9 native teachers and catechists. - -We add the statistics of the Indian work as sustained by the -Association during the past year. - -S’Kokomish Agency (Washington Territory).—Rev. Myron Eells, -_Missionary_. - -Spokan Falls (Washington Territory).—Rev. H. T. Cowley, -_Missionary_. - -Leech Lake Agency (Minnesota).—Rev. S. G. Wright, _Teacher_. - -Hampton (Virginia).—Miss Isabel B. Eustis, _Teacher_; and -appropriation in aid of Indian students. - - * * * * * - - -SUGGESTIONS OF ENLARGEMENT. - -We believe that those who read in this number of the Missionary the -communications from Capt. Pratt, Gen. Armstrong and Prof. Riggs -may ask with good reason, Why not develop at Santee an industrial -school for the Indians, of like character to those at Hampton -and Carlisle? Already fair beginnings have been made. As will be -seen by a cut published herewith, we have good grounds, several -attractive and suitable buildings, with other improvements. By -an examination of a map with reference to the location of the -different Indian tribes, it will be found that Santee is accessible -to seven tribes, numbering over twenty thousand souls. The railroad -systems of the vicinity are such that no great difficulty or -expense would be experienced in bringing students together. The -tribes speaking the Dakota language number more than those speaking -any other Indian dialect on the continent. The churches already -established among them, with a membership of 847, are in full -sympathy with the Santee school. No difficulty is likely to come -from a lack of students, as already the institution has during the -present year been obliged to turn them away for want of room. - -[Illustration: SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL.] - -Mr. Thomas L. Riggs, who collected a company of Indian youth for -Gen. Armstrong’s school last autumn, reports that he could have -secured several times as many, if he had been seeking students for -Santee. The variety of industries that it would be desirable to -promote would be limited only by the wants of the people in a new -country. Carpentering, blacksmithing, shoemaking, broommaking and -basketmaking, are trades that well might receive early attention. -It would be no part of the plan to interfere with the religious or -normal school work by the more general introduction of industrial -training. We believe that Christian nurture is promoted rather -than retarded by attention to industrial pursuits among students, -when wise oversight is given for the sake of useful achievements. -The plan of locating the students in cottages, so that each home -may have a quiet and healthful influence upon the untutored youth -from wigwam life, is already inaugurated, and can be extended to -meet all emergencies. The land at the agency is controlled by the -government, but no difficulty is anticipated in securing all that -may be needed for the use of the school. Scholarships may also be -had in numbers and amount sufficient to warrant preparations on a -large scale for a first grade normal and industrial institute. It -is the purpose of this Association to weigh carefully the above -considerations, and if found practicable, to develop at an early -day a training school in Nebraska that shall be equal in its -facilities and enterprises to the demands of the new era in the -progress of Indian civilization. - - * * * * * - - -ASPECTS OF THE INDIAN PROBLEM. - -BY HON. CARL SCHURZ. - -The increased interest of public-spirited citizens in the education -of Indian children is one of the best, if not the best result, -of recent discussions of the Indian question. The success of the -schools at Hampton, in Virginia, Carlisle, in Pennsylvania, and -Forest Grove, in Oregon, have amply demonstrated what can be -accomplished if such schools be organized on the right principle -and conducted with ability and energy. That this is more and more -generally appreciated is all the more fortunate, as the Indian -question is no longer one the solution of which can be trusted to -time. - -As the progress of settlement and enterprise in the far western -regions, or, as it is called in a general way, “the development -of the country,” advances, the old methods of providing for the -Indians become obsolete. Large reservations of wild land, on -which the Indian can freely roam and support himself, partly by -hunting, will soon be things of the past. Even now an “Indian -frontier” does no longer exist. The abiding places of the -Indians are almost everywhere surrounded by rapidly increasing -populations of white men eagerly pressing upon the Indian lands. -One reservation after another is broken up to make room for new -lines of communication and for agricultural and mining enterprises. -However conscientious the government may be in its intention and -endeavor to protect the rights of the Indians at all points, it -is evident that the Indians will soon, in every part of the -country, be interspersed with an aggressive force, constantly -growing in volume and power, which will threaten to overwhelm them -like a rising flood. Their circumstances are essentially changed. -The alternative of civilization or extermination is immediately -before them—civilization enabling them to become in all important -respects a part of the population among which they are to live; or -extermination in a vain struggle to maintain the habits of savage -life against the progress of superior forces, or rapid decay as -miserable paupers and outcasts by the failure of self-sustaining -ability. This alternative presents itself not as a question looming -up in the distant future, to be solved by coming generations, but -as a question involving the existence of the young generation of -Indians now living. It is, in one word, a question of immediate -urgency. - -If the Indians are to live at all, they must learn to live like -white men. They can no longer stand in the way of the development -of the country, but they must be enabled to become part of that -development, and thus to be benefited by it. The “white man’s -way” of which they are in the habit of speaking, must not, as -heretofore, remain to them a mere vague, shadowy idea, but they -must acquire a practical conception of what the white man’s way -really is, what its objects are, and by what means those objects -are attained. They must acquire that conception soon, for they will -need it soon. The education of the young generation of Indians -is therefore an immediately pressing necessity. And it must be -an education that takes them out of their traditional ways of -thinking, out of their old ambitions and habits of life. They must -not only learn some reading and writing, but they must learn what -reading and writing is for in the practical competitions of human -existence. They must learn how to work and how to make their work -useful. They must learn to love work by seeing and appreciating the -fruits of it. Industrial training of a thoroughly practical kind -must therefore go hand-in-hand with the ordinary rudimentary school -education. The two things must be carried on with constant regard -to the unity of aim. - -The schools at Hampton, Carlisle and Forest Grove are conducted -upon this principle, and the results attained there prove that -Indian youths can be taught the things required to provide for the -necessities of life and to lift the Indian above the state of the -pauper as well as of the savage. Of course we must not expect too -much of them. We must not expect that they will issue from these -schools as model men and model women in every respect. We must not -expect that on the average they will be better than the average of -white boys and girls, raised under the same circumstances and with -the same advantages or disadvantages, would be. In point of fact, -the reports about the young men and women who, after having gone -through their three years’ term at Hampton or Carlisle, returned -to their people in the western country, have been as different as -reports would be about white boys and girls similarly situated. -Some were bright, active and industrious, others dull and indolent. -But a large majority of them have been doing well and showed a -marked superiority in character, ambition and conduct over other -young Indians who had not enjoyed the same kind of education. There -is no doubt that their presence among their people as teachers -and examples and as a moving force generally will exercise a most -healthy and elevating influence, provided the number of Indians so -educated be large enough to make them among the rising generation -the rule, instead of their remaining exceptional cases, as they now -are. It is, therefore, essential that such schools and the number -of pupils in them be multiplied as much as possible. - -The schools at Hampton and Carlisle are mentioned here in -preference to the schools established at the different agencies, -partly because the former are superior as to the force of teachers -employed there, as well as to their equipment in other respects, -and partly because they offer to their Indian pupils the peculiar -advantage of withdrawing them entirely from the savage influences -of the Indian camps and placing them under the immediate influence -of civilized surroundings, where they can learn the “white -man’s way,” by seeing civilization at work. But as this method -of educating young Indians is expensive, and Congress rather -parsimonious as to appropriations for such purposes, the number of -Indians profiting from it is necessarily very small in proportion -to the whole population, while it ought to be very large. The -establishment of an Indian school on the same plan near the Santee -agency in Nebraska, as contemplated by the American Missionary -Association, is therefore all the more to be welcomed. Although the -surroundings of that school will not be quite as civilized as those -of Hampton and Carlisle, yet the Santee reservation is at least on -all sides easily accessible to civilized influences. It is a small -tract, encircled by settlements of white people. At the same time, -a school established there will be able to draw its pupils from the -great Sioux reserve in Dakota at small cost, the distance being -inconsiderable and the means of communication cheap and convenient. -The American Missionary Association could scarcely render a more -valuable service to the Indian race or do more credit to its own -good judgment and benevolent impulses than by making so valuable an -addition to the educational forces among the red men. - - * * * * * - -—A difficulty in prosecuting the work among the Indians in British -Columbia is found in the fact that the tribes speak distinct -languages. Not less than seven different dialects are used in the -range of country embraced by missionary effort. - - -ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF WORK AT CARLISLE. - -BY CAPT. R. H. PRATT. - -In compliance with your request I herewith furnish you with a brief -history of the Carlisle School, and some account of its industrial -features. It originated in the sending to Florida from the Indian -Territory of 74 Indian prisoners in the spring of 1875. At the -instance of General Sheridan I was selected by the War Department -and placed in charge of those prisoners, they having been under my -care at Fort Sill. They were from the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Kiowa -and Comanche tribes and were selected for this banishment because -of well-known offenses against the peace of the frontier. Some -of them were guilty of the most outrageous crimes. Years of army -service among the Indians and observation of their treatment had -led me to change my views for opinions in favor of giving to the -Indian a broader chance and a desire that he might be brought more -in contact with the peaceful and industrious side of civilized -life, and so before the prisoners were started from Fort Sill I -wrote to my superiors urging that they be educated and trained -industrially during their imprisonment. Soon after reaching St. -Augustine I wrote repeatedly to the War Department urging that -some locality with more industrial surroundings be selected and -the prisoners be transferred. This was denied, and I then set -to work to make the best use of the elements to be found in the -sleepy old Spanish town. With no means, I was forced to seek the -co-operation of charitable and missionary folks. Miss S. A. Mather, -Miss Perit, Mrs. King Gibbs, Mrs. Couper Gibbs, of St. Augustine, -and Mrs. Dr. Caruthers of Tarrytown, N.Y., winter resident of St. -Augustine, volunteered to teach and did teach the classes of those -grown Indian men for two years and a half, giving them about one -hour’s instruction daily. Industrially there was little practical -opportunity, but numbers were placed for different periods to work -on saw mills, at picking oranges, as hostlers, grubbing the land, -boating and whatever could be found in connection with their own -necessities and comfort in the old fort. Twice we boated pine -logs from a distance and constructed log houses within the fort, -riving the clap-boards, building stick chimneys, chinking and -daubing that they might learn to construct their own homes. Some -of them advanced rapidly in acquiring literary, English speaking -and industrial knowledge. Others were very stupid. The greatest -success in the labor line was in placing five men to grub five -acres that had intimidated other laborers both white and black. -The undergrowth and roots to be removed were of the most dense and -appalling kind, and yet the Indians stuck to it until they had made -a complete success of it. - -Another of the best evidences of the success of our labor efforts -was a petition signed by a very considerable number of laborers and -others of the community asking that I be estopped in the putting -of the Indians out to labor in competition with other classes, as -I was taking bread from the mouths of those who were dependent -upon such labor for their living, etc. In the spring of 1878 the -authorities at Washington determined to release the prisoners and -permit them to return to their homes. There were 22 of them who -preferred to remain East and get a better knowledge of civilized -life and more education before going home. The expenses of these -22 young men were undertaken by different charitable people. Gen. -S. C. Armstrong, of the Hampton Normal Institute, received 17 into -his institution, while four went to Paris Hill, near Utica, N.Y., -under the immediate charge of Rev. J. B. Wickes, an Episcopal -clergyman, encouraged by Bishop Huntington, all the expenses being -undertaken by Mrs. Burnham. One was taken to Tarrytown, N.Y., in -Dr. Caruther’s own family. Hampton Institute being an industrial -school, furnished the most seasonable and practical education of -any institution I was able to find. The remainder of the party were -returned to their respective agencies, and such was the effect of -their training in Florida during their three years’ absence, that -they at once became the best element for progress in their tribes. -At this time, while a few have gone back to the blanket condition, -most likely from necessity, because no other way was open to them, -there is abundant testimony in the reports of their respective -agents during the past four years that they are still a useful and -leading industrious element among their people. - -A few weeks after the arrival of the party at Hampton Institute, -General Armstrong was so favorably impressed by the conduct and -progress of the 17 he had undertaken, that he was willing to -increase the number by adding 50 more, and including girls. Mr. -Schurz and Mr. McCrary, then Secretaries of the Interior and War -Departments, accepted the proposition, and I was sent, in the fall -of 1878, to Dakota, and brought away 49 children from six different -agencies of the Sioux, Gros Ventre, Mandan and Arickeree tribes. -These, together with the former Florida prisoners, were placed -under training in all the varied systems of literary and industrial -pursuits. Hampton Institute provides liberally for its colored -students, and side by side with those colored pupils the Indian -boys and girls, in perfect harmony with the new life, demonstrated -their capacity to hold their own in improving the best of chances. -It was very much desired by the friends of this new movement, and -particularly General Armstrong, that I should remain with it, and a -clause was introduced in the army appropriation bill, which passed -Congress in the spring of 1879, for the detail of one officer, -not above the rank of captain, for duty with reference to Indian -education. - -It was a plan which I had urged for several years that to get the -best results in our educational work among Indian children as -many as possible should be removed from reservation and tribal -influences and placed in the atmosphere of civilized life, and -to this end I had urged the use of vacant military posts and -barracks as furnishing, without much cost in changing and improving -buildings, places to make a beginning, and I proposed to the -Interior and War Departments that I would undertake the education -of 250 or 300 children at the old military buildings at Carlisle. -This proposition was accepted, and after many preliminaries I was -sent in September, 1879, to the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Agencies in -Dakota and brought away 84 children, and immediately after went to -the Indian Territory and from the Kiowa, Cheyenne, Pawnee and other -tribes brought 52 more. To these were added 11 from the Hampton -Institute of the young men who had been with me in Florida. The -school was opened on the first of November with 147 students. To -these were added from time to time children from various Western -tribes, and at the end of July, 1880, we numbered 239 children, -about one-third of whom were girls. At the end of the second -year, October, 1881, we had increased to 295. At the present -writing we number 379—132 girls and 247 boys. From the beginning -our principle has been to place the most emphasis on industrial -training, next English speaking and then literary training. -To accomplish the first we very early in the work established -shops for mechanical instruction in carpentry, blacksmithing, -wagon-making, harness-making, tailoring, tinsmithing, shoemaking, -printing, baking and on our farm of 115 acres gave some scope for -agricultural training. We have avoided theory in our industries and -adhered to practice, being governed to a great extent by the old -apprentice system. We have at the head of each branch a skilled -mechanic as practical instructor, and as nearly as possible we -pursue the methods of trades people in their instructions to -apprentices. We give half of each day to work and the other half to -school, and have found that our progress is proportionately greater -in each than it would be if the attention was directed to either -the one or the other for the whole time. Under this system we have -in training as carpenters 13 boys; as wagon-makers and blacksmiths, -15; as harness-makers, 15; as shoemakers, 19; as tailors, 12; -as turners, 11; as printers, 5; as bakers, 3; and every boy not -engaged at some trade is required to work during the season upon -the farm. Such products of our labors as we are not able to make -use of for the school are purchased by the Indian Department and -shipped to agencies. We think our boys as forward in capacity -for receiving instruction on each of the several branches as the -average white boy. In the blacksmith shop our apprentice boys after -two years’ instruction, are able to iron a wagon, repair a plow, -shoe a horse, etc. In the wood-working department able to get out -all the different wood parts of the wagon ready for the blacksmith. -In the tin-smithing to construct coffee pots, buckets, pails, -pans, cups, etc. In the harness-making to cut out and manufacture -harness. In the tailoring to cut out and manufacture clothing. In -shoemaking to repair and manufacture boots and shoes. In printing -to set up and distribute type and make up forms. In baking we have -no other help than Indians. We give to our girls instruction in the -various industries of the sex and find no general lack. In cooking, -sewing, house work, laundry work, etc., they are apt pupils. - -One of the most useful features of our work has been the placing of -our boys and girls in private families, principally among farmers, -where they perform the same kind of labor and are subjected to the -same home and labor influences that white children of their own -ages receive. This has the most beneficial results. The children -take on English speaking and the industries of civilized life very -speedily. During vacation we place out all we can spare from our -own work, and during the winter we allow a considerable number to -remain and attend the public schools in the several neighborhoods, -they being required to do such work mornings and evenings as they -are capable of and so pay for their board and clothes. By this -course we are enabled to carry a very considerable number more -pupils than we are allowed appropriation for. It is plain that the -real hindrance to Indian progress is found in their being kept -entirely separated from the other masses of our population, and -by every act of our government and every sentiment of its people, -societies, missionary and others, made to feel that they are a -separate people and must so remain forever. Through their education -in separate schools, their home life upon prison reservations with -their liberty of coming and going abridged to these reservations, -with all their aspirations and ambitions so limited, there can be -no healthy growth. To overcome these difficulties the Indian mind -and the mind of the public as well as Congress must be educated to -grant to them the enlarged privileges accorded to all other races. -The boy will never learn to swim until he goes into the water, -and the experiences of industrial life and civilized life through -its associations and competitions will determine for the Indian -and white the true status. We have had quite enough of the Sioux, -Cheyenne, Comanche, etc., as Sioux, Cheyenne, Comanche, etc. We can -end their existence among us as such separate people by a broad -and generous system of English education and training, which will -reach all the 50,000 children and in a very few years remove all -our trouble from them as a separate people and as separate tribes -among us, and instead of feeding clothing and caring for them from -year to year, put them in condition to feed clothe and care for -themselves. Our experiences in many individual cases in the last -few years make it very evident that not only may we fit the Indian -to take care of himself in his own home, but may fit him to go and -come and abide in the land wherever he may choose, and so lose his -identity. - -[Illustration: MANDAN HUT, DAKOTA.] - - -THE HISTORY AND OUTLOOK OF THE INDIAN WORK TRANSFERRED TO THE A. M. -A. - -PROF. ALFRED L. RIGGS. - -Just fifty years ago two Congregational young men from Connecticut, -the Messrs. Samuel and Gideon Pond, pressed on into the heart -of the then unknown continent to see what they could do for the -Indian. They landed at Fort Snelling, in what is now Minnesota, and -began their volunteer mission among an Eastern branch of the Dakota -or Sioux nation. - -One year later the American Board sent out the Rev. Dr. Williamson -on a tour of exploration, and the next year after that a mission -was regularly established. The organized work gathered in the -volunteers, and, moreover, according to the fashion of the times, -Congregational relations disappeared and work was started on the -Presbyterian basis. - -For years it was a slow, hard lift against the weight of heathenism -and pride of race. Nowhere is race pride stronger than among the -Indians. As is often the case, those who have least to be proud of -vaunt themselves the most. So, while the Indian has to acknowledge -that the white man is possessor of gifts that class him with the -gods (the Dakota name for white man being the same as that he -applies to his gods), and thus for the sake of his mysterious power -he fears him, yet personally he despises him as different from -himself and effeminate. - -And heathenism! Some would have us believe that it did not exist; -that the Indian naturally was as good a Christian as need be. The -courtesy of the Indian perhaps leads to this deceptive view. He -will assent to everything you say rather than be so impolite as -to contradict you. Then, too, his pantheism easily makes room for -another god. So the white man’s god soon had his banner set up at -their sacred rites together with the Stone god, the Day god, the -Night god, the Thunder god, and the god of the North. - -But when Christ claims the whole of their worship, and belief -in him is seen to require the giving up of their other faiths, -and the casting away of their charms and incantations, then the -antagonism of the unregenerate heart breaks out here as everywhere. -And the magicians and “medicine men” are stirred up to bitter and -unremitting warfare as soon as they discover that their craft is in -danger. - -As if here were not enough obstacles to meet, there comes in -the opposition begotten of the selfishness and dissoluteness of -unprincipled white men. For years the fur trade was almost as -much the enemy of missions as was the slave trade. The agents of -this great enterprise were bound to keep the Indians hunters and -trappers in order that their warehouses might be filled with furs. -The fur trade also controlled the government, and even to-day its -power is felt through laws made then for its benefit and that yet -remain on the statute book. Hence in its day the fur trade was -a foe to be dreaded, for it could exert its power in a thousand -secret ways. It could break up schools, scare people away from -religious meetings, and put a ban on the Christian teacher, if -content to leave him alive. - -After thirty years of patient labor the reward seemed about -to come. Christianity was proving its power to disintegrate -heathenism, break down prejudice and survive the enmity of -unprincipled white men. - -Then the outbreak and massacres of 1862 occurred, seemingly -sweeping everything away. It was the death-struggle of heathenism, -alarmed at the steady advance of Christianity. Other political -causes and conditions merely made this outbreak possible. And yet -what seemed annihilation was only multiplication and dissemination. -Again was fulfilled the Scripture: “They that were scattered abroad -went preaching the word.” And the conversion in the military -prisons of hundreds as it were in a day, is one of the notable -instances of the power of God’s spirit. - -Twenty years ago the field of Christian missions among the Dakotas -was confined to a small section of the nation then dwelling in -a corner of Minnesota. But now the field extends over the great -Missouri valley and on northward toward the Saskatchawan in the -British Possessions. - -The work whose beginnings we have noted, originally one under the -American Board, has since been divided. In 1871, at the time of -the general division of the missions of the American Board, that -part of the Dakota Mission immediately under the charge of the -venerable Dr. Williamson and his son, Rev. John P. Williamson, -was transferred to the care of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign -Missions. But the larger portion remained with the other veteran -of the mission, Rev. Stephen B. Riggs, under the care of the -American Board. And now with the year 1883 another transfer is -made to the American Missionary Association. But the five native -churches, with a membership of 340, that had meanwhile grown up -about Sisseton Agency are graduated from foreign missions into a -home mission connection, and so naturally pass under the care of -the Presbyterian Home Mission Board. It is not within the scope -of this short article to speak of the work accomplished by the -Episcopal Mission in the same field, which had its beginning -about thirty years later than the original Dakota Mission, and in -recent years has had very considerable success. Nor can we speak -particularly of the portion of our great field lying across the -British line, for though we have furnished the native laborers it -is not organically connected with us. But as for the rest of the -original mission, even though divided, it works as one. It has one -General Conference, and in all its publications and matters of -common concern acts as one mission still. - -The statistics of the Dakota Mission, as thus defined, show 7 -stations, 6 ordained missionaries, 26 assistant missionaries, 13 -churches, 12 native pastors and preachers, 9 native teachers, and -847 church members, contributing during the past year $779.83 for -their own missions among the heathen Indians, and $1,080.58 for -pastoral support and church expenses. - -Of this there now passes directly to the care of the American -Missionary Association 5 stations, with also an interest in the -Native Missionary field at Devil’s Lake, 4 ordained missionaries, -21 assistant missionaries, 2 churches, Pilgrim Church at Santee -and Shiloh Church at the Sully Station, with 8 native preachers, 5 -native teachers, and a church membership of 194. - -As has been noticed, the organization of the work from the first -has been on the Presbyterian model, and thus the fruits of the -mission have mostly gone into the Presbyterian connection. The -church at the Fort Sully Station was an exception. It was organized -as a Congregational church. Nevertheless, this Presbyterian cast, -this whole native force, is to be considered as one, and will be -used by whichever denomination is ready to prosecute the work -most vigorously, for the denominationalism of these churches is -not of a radical type, as is instanced by the recent change of -ecclesiastical relations on the part of the Pilgrim Church at -Santee. This is the original mother church, but in order to come -into closer and more sympathetic relations with the churches that -support the Santee Training School, it voted cheerfully and almost -unanimously to leave Presbytery and become Congregational. Indeed -this is not hard for them to do, for Indians are naturally very -democratic. - -In the work that may now be done for this people, SANTEE NORMAL -TRAINING SCHOOL must be an important factor. It has vital relation -to all these native churches, and it has a name among the heathen -communities. Its growth has been slow, for it has taken time and -work to instil the idea of a higher education into the minds of -the people. Henceforth its growth might be rapid. It now has one -hundred and one pupils in attendance, with seventeen instructors, -including those in charge of the industrial and boarding -departments. This winter a number of pupils have been turned away -for lack of room. If accommodations could be provided, the number -of pupils might soon be doubled. - -While giving great attention to industrial training, it affords -unparalleled advantages for that training which is needed to make -teachers suited to Indian schools. - -The school is the basis of evangelizing the Indian. There will be -no large audiences to preach to, except on exceptional occasions, -until the school has gathered a company of disciples. Certain -persons not understanding the nature of missionary work, or unable -to take more than a superficial view, have recently represented our -schools as of low grade, and unnecessary to real missionary work. -But this is contradicted by the grand progress of the work. - -We have spoken of five mission stations as now passing under -the care of the A. M. A. But of these Standing Rock is hardly -opened, and Berthold and Sully stations are sadly in need of -reinforcements. And there are the large Indian Agencies of Spotted -Tail’s and Red Cloud’s tribes, numbering about 7,000 each, which -we ought to occupy. Then there is the Crow country in Montana, -next door to our Berthold Mission. We should have at once six -ordained missionaries and their wives, with as many more assistant -missionaries, all picked men. This would enable us to manage a yet -larger number of native missionary teachers working along with -them. - -[Illustration: SISSETON GIRLS, WITH TEACHER.] - -The tribes speaking the Dakota language are the most numerous of -any Indian people upon the continent. They are now universally -open to Christianity and Christian civilization. They now look to -Christian people for their future. Within the last ten or twelve -years the whole temper of their mind has changed. The noted chief, -Sitting Bull, is an illustration. Only a few years ago he hated the -very wind that blew from the direction of the white man’s country. -When the wind blew from the east he would send out the town crier -to say, “Get you all into your teepees. This is bad air from the -white man’s country.” But when it blew from the north his crier -would proclaim, “Come out and breathe the healthy air.” And once -when a woman of the tribe brought home a “rooster” from a distant -trading post to enliven the tedium of her labor, Sitting Bull heard -it crow and instantly dispatched his chief soldier to “soldier -kill” the woman, that is, cut up her tent and kill her horses, for -the crime of having that white man’s bird in the sacred precincts -of a Dakota camp. But now the same Sitting Bull is petitioning for -Christian teachers, and land, and domestic animals, and undoubtedly -would also welcome “the-bird-that-crows-in-the-morning.” - - * * * * * - - -INDIAN INDUSTRIES AT HAMPTON. - -BY GEN. S. C. ARMSTRONG. - -Every Indian boy who comes to Hampton is allowed his choice to -learn farming or a trade, and to select the trade he prefers, to -which he is expected to stick. They often wish to change after some -months, for they are a fickle people. While this is by no means -done as a matter of course, it has sometimes been found wise to do -so. A boy who could do nothing at blacksmithing made remarkable -progress in the wheelwright’s shop; one who is poor on the farm may -be good in the shoe-shop, and _vice versa_; but it does not do to -encourage shifting trades. The girls go through the same routine of -housework, cooking, cutting and making and mending clothes. - -The boys are assigned to work as follows: carpenters, 15; painters, -1; tinsmiths, 6; shoe-makers, 13; harness-makers, 3; farmers, 13; -blacksmiths, 3; wheelwrights, 3; tailors, 1. A generous lady in New -York City has recently given $5,000 for an Indian workshop, which -will be completed and occupied by the first of April next, and be a -most satisfactory change from the shed in which they have for four -years uncomfortably worked at their trades. - -Considering the past of the Indian, the disposition of our boys -and girls to work is remarkable. The general rule is to work from -seven to twelve o’clock, A.M., or from one to six o’clock, P.M., -Saturday being holiday. Those who work mornings study afternoons, -and _vice versa_. All are paid, girls as well as boys, usually at -the rate of $2.50 per month, for to expect Indians to take a real -interest in their work without some compensation is absurd. It is -weak and foolish to reason that the skill they attain is enough -compensation. Human nature requires something more. On the other -hand they purchase all their underclothing and shoes with their -earnings, and are thus taught the use of money and the true value -of garments, and become quite skillful in buying. A school uniform -is provided for each one, made in our tailoring department. - -Their appreciation of work is a direct contradiction to the -statement that an Indian hates to labor. Frequently boys who are -working a half-day at some trade will ask to be allowed to work the -entire day, including Saturday, so as to earn more and be better -able to take care of themselves when they go home. Their wages are -then increased and they go to night school. Every such application -is encouraging. - -Especially those who make extra time in the shops are inclined to -save. They generally agree to draw but one-half of extra earnings, -the other half being saved to buy them tools and other outfit when -they shall finally leave school. We allow ten per cent. interest -on all such savings; they are quick to see the advantage of laying -up money. They seem to have no marked aptitude for special trades, -unless it be for work in leather, shoe and harness-making. Their -ancestors have dealt in this commodity more than in any other. They -take to all handiwork remarkably; while quick to learn, they are -slow to execute. They seldom bungle or “botch” a job. The first -pair of shoes made by an apprentice is always serviceable. An -Indian carpenter will make as good a mortise as a white one, but -will take three times as long. Our expert harness-maker says he can -do no better work than some of his boys, but they are very slow -about it. We are constantly making and selling carts made by Sioux -boys. They have made all our school benches, desks, wardrobes and -wash-stands, besides window-frames, etc., for the outside market. - -We would be only too glad to make buggy or plow harness, single -or double, tin-ware of all kinds and brogan shoes for individuals -or institutions in the North or South, solely on the ground of -the merit and cheapness of the work done. A neat carriage harness -was made last summer for a lady in Newport, R.I. Of the 500 dozen -articles of tinware, 75 sets of double plow harness, and 2,000 -pairs of men’s shoes made last year by our Indian boys for the -use of the Western tribes (ordered by the Indian Department at -the lowest contract prices of the previous year) the New York -inspectors reported: “They are as well and as strongly made, and -for actual service fully equal to any purchased by the Department.” - -This year we are making an even larger amount of material for the -Indian Department, but at prices which little more than cover cost -of material. An outside private trade would be much more desirable. -We were paid for men’s brogans “extra” good leather, $1.22½ per -pair, boxed and delivered in New York City. Carlisle does even more -than Hampton in supplying Indians, and with excellent success. - -Owing to bodily ailments, Indian labor is more unsteady than that -of Negroes. While in their own life they have endurance, a steady -routine of industry is new to them, and they are for our purposes -a rather feeble race: they find digging exhausting, but on the -hunter’s trail or on the warpath they are tireless when we would -soon be weary. - -Unless every Indian child is educated to some occupation, teaching -is of little account. Hard work rather than the higher studies -gives them the best drill. As for all, so for Indians, home -influence is a great thing. After the best practical education they -are not fit for the loose, idle, dirty life of Indian camps any -more than any other children. What is to be done? The best success -with the thirty Sioux children who returned in October, 1881, to -their agencies (five of them girls) has been with those to whom the -agents gave separate rooms near the agencies, having their food -cooked and their life led separately. An efficient agent will, by -the care he takes, save four-fifths of our Indian graduates to -decent lives; a careless, weak agent (and not a third of the sixty -U.S. Indian Agents are first-class men) will lose four-fifths of -them. We cannot make men of them in three years, but can give them -a start in that time that a good agent can keep up, and lead them -to true success. - -Here, more and more, we find the real trouble; not with the Indian, -but in our miserable system of paying so small salaries to Indian -agents that a competent one is the exception. The boy or girl -who goes home finds no strong, kind friend to advise and help; -the current of influence is against a Christian life. Here the -missionary is needed; never more than now. - -Hampton, Carlisle and the many schools that are educating Indians -need to be supplemented by good agents and wise missionaries who -will help them to stand against the odds that would make the -new life they have chosen nest to impossible. Here is the point -of chief anxiety. Public sentiment must be felt at Washington -before it shall remove the chief stumbling-block to Indian -progress—poor agents. As Secretary Teller says in his last Report, -the Indians are chiefly on reservations, and must for the present -be treated there; to be gradually pushed upon lands of their own, -individually, by the efforts of wise men and the influence of -Christian education. - - -REVIVAL WORK AMONG INDIANS AT HAMPTON. - -Miss Isabel B. Eustis, in giving an account of the revival meetings -at Hampton, writes as follows of the Indians: - -Meanwhile at one end of the chapel there sat a company of one -hundred who took no part in the service. The Indian students -watched with wondering and wistful eyes the scenes around them. -“Pass me not, O Gentle Saviour,” they sang often in their own -services during these days, and the Lord heard their cry and turned -aside and called them too. Stago, our fiery little Apache boy, -heard his voice, and set hard to work to conquer his temper and -self-will. The quick-witted, ambitious, head-strong girl, whose -influence over the other scholars we dreaded, listened, and her -hard expression softened, and the stubborn will yielded, and with -gentleness and humility she met the daily requirements which had -often roused her rebellious spirit before. Shallow natures grew -earnest and proud, and we knew that there was one walking with the -Indian students too who could purify and inspire and help. - -On Wednesday evening our senior Indian boy, of his own accord, left -his class and took his seat with the other Indian scholars. Waiting -his opportunity, he rose and called the attention of the school to -those who sat behind him. He reminded me of the darkness out of -which they had come, and of the dangers to which they must return. -He told us that they longed for a share in the blessing God was -giving the school, and asked our patience while they prayed to the -Father, and spoke of Him in a language we could not understand. - -Kamnach rose first. Kamnach came to the school four years ago, -directly from his wild Indian life. His hair was uncut; he wore -Indian clothes; he had been always familiar with scenes of -bloodshed, and placed little value on human life. After three years -he went back to his home, a changed man we thought in appearance -and heart. But it was hard to stand among his savage comrades. He -plead to come back to school. He was a happy boy, when, less than -a year ago, he placed his foot again on Hampton soil. Poor boy! he -had yet to learn that always his worst temptations would come from -his own distorted heart. Some misunderstanding of his position as a -returned student, some distrust of those who were over him, and he -fell into passionate hatred, and was ready to commit a deliberate -and deadly crime. We thought his repentance would be quick and -deep, but not so. The first Sunday of the new year, the anniversary -of the day on which he confessed Christ, he had no heart to meet -the Lord, whose first command was to love and forgive. But the -passing Saviour’s voice reached him now. He stood before the -crowded school, and with the help of an interpreter acknowledged -his sin, and renewed his allegiance to the Saviour, and begged the -Indian students to follow the Lord Jesus, though they would find -many things in His religion hard to understand and difficult to do. - -After Kamnach’s confession a Sioux boy made a prayer. He spoke in -another tongue, but more than one felt his heart was lifted to the -Father’s heart by the earnestness and pathos of the stranger’s -voice. Another tried to speak in broken English. Missing the -words he wanted to say, waiting and struggling for confession, -he acknowledged Jesus Christ as the Saviour of his soul. Our -hearts were knit together in love. We knew that we belonged to one -common family and nothing could separate from the love of Christ. -Evidently the son of God who came to save the lost finds nothing in -the Indian nature he cannot soften and subdue. Evidently the Indian -is able to place his confidence in such a Saviour and yield himself -in glad obedience to Him. - - - - -CHILDREN’S PAGE. - - * * * * * - - -[Illustration: INDIAN HUT.] - - -THE LITTLE INDIAN OF CLEAR LAKE. - -ABRIDGED FROM GOSPEL IN ALL LANDS. - -Did you ever see an Indian—a real, live Indian—in bead-embroidered -buck-skin coat and breeches, girded with a curiously wrought -wampum belt, shod with moccasins, his face painted black and red, -his hair bristling, like a porcupine’s back, with a gay forest of -feathers—as he dashed through the woods or over the prairie, on a -wild horse, or strode along proudly on foot, with bow and arrows in -his hands, and a large tomahawk and scalping-knife in his girdle? - -You have seen him in the pictures, at least, and thought him a fine -sight; and perhaps you felt in your heart that it must be fine to -live such a wild, daring life, hunting, fishing and roaming in the -woods and over the fields. - -But all Indians are not like him. Tribes differ very much in their -character and habits. Besides, they are never quite so brave and -fine in real life as they are in pictures. Most of them are poor -miserable creatures; and if you should go into one of their wigwams -of sticks and barks, and see their naked bodies, filthy faces and -tangled hair, as they squat in the smoke and stench around a little -fire, on the bare earth, in the middle of the shanty, snatching at -poor food with dirty fingers, like a pack of ravenous wolves. I do -not believe you would think it very fine, ever after have the least -desire to live like an Indian. - -The little boy of our story was born and lived on the shores of -Clear Lake, a fine sheet of water among the mountains, thirty or -forty miles north of Napo Valley. - -Like all his mates, he was so short and thick that he seemed to -be about as broad as he was long. His skin was not copper-colored -like that of most other Indians, but black. His face was broad and -round, his lips thick and pouting, and his nose wide and flat. -His long coarse hair, all tangled and matted, dangled around his -high cheek-bones and above his naked shoulders, like the shaggy -mane of a Canadian pony, and half hid his coarse, brutal features: -a pair of small, round, dull eyes, like leaden bullets, made the -treacherous expression that slept in every line of his features -seem ten-fold more revolting. - -His wigwam, or lodge, was nothing but a rude screen of bushes or -skins to break the force of the wind. You would not think it very -nice or comfortable, but he did, and could sleep just as well -there, or on the ground beside a large stone, or behind the stump -of a fallen tree as you do on the softest feathers. But he never -slept two nights in the same place, for fear of being discovered by -an enemy and murdered. - -It is a hard and cheerless life which those little Indian children -lead, as you can easily see, but the life of this little Indian was -especially so; for his father and mother had both been murdered, -and he had no friends to care for him any more kindly than they -would care for a dog; and even the _Hias Tyee_, or Big Chief of the -tribe, whose duty it was to see that this little waif on the stormy -sea of Indian life was provided for, thought only to get some -advantage out of him; and so, when he saw a white man camping one -day on the shores of the lake, he brought down the boy and offered -to sell him for ten dollars. It proved to be a kind, good-hearted -man, who saw that the little fellow was friendless and forlorn, -and so the bargain was soon closed, and he became servant to the -“pale-face” till he was twenty-one years old, on condition of -receiving his food and clothing. - -On reaching home, the first thing, of course, was to clip off his -dangling locks, give him a thorough scrubbing with soap and brush, -and cover his black nakedness with decent clothing. - -That afternoon, when the pigs were fed, he was found with his nose -in the trough eating sour milk with the animals as if he had been -one of them. At night nothing could persuade him to sleep in a room -or on a bed; and after dark, when the family had retired to rest, -he stole out of the house as slyly as a cat, and hid himself away -in the tall weeds beside the fence. Every night for many weeks he -did the same, and was so fearful of being murdered in his sleep -that he changed his nest every night, never daring to sleep twice -in the same spot. - -His tongue was constantly telling lies, and he would steal -everything he fancied that came in his way. He seemed to have no -idea of right and wrong. He could not comprehend what such words as -love and duty and kindness meant. Fear was the only motive which -had the least influence in controlling him. Even the difference -between cleanliness and dirt was a thought too sublime and profound -for his understanding. - -But he could believe in ghosts and haunting spirits of dead men, -like most other ignorant and barbarous people; and he thought they -lingered around every stump and tree, and followed him wherever he -went. He could hear them fluttering in the leaves, or rapping on -the limbs and trunks of the trees, or whispering in the wind. He -supposed they took possession of the bodies of men and animals, and -caused them to sing and dance, and do all sorts of silly tricks, -by a kind of inspiration. He had some notions of the Great Spirit, -it is true, but they were confused and indistinct, and had little -power over him, while a slavish fear of the inferior spirits and -other such ghostly nonsense tormented him night and day, and made -him a timid, miserable, degraded, creature. - -Had you seen him in that condition you would have thought it -impossible to make anything good out of such a stupid little -animal. You would have said it was of no use to try to teach a -creature so brutal and superstitious anything about God and heaven, -and a higher life, or even about the decencies of civilized society. - -But a kind lady took him under her care. She taught him to read and -write. She showed him the folly of believing in ghosts, and talking -with the spirits. She told him the story of Jesus, and made him -learn the ten commandments, and the precious words of the Saviour, -and explained to him how God made him, and fed, and clothed, and -kept him, day by day, and that he ought to love Him, and do right -in return for His kindness. She impressed him with the thought that -God is angry with wicked boys and girls every day, and that only -the pure in heart, whose lives are good, can be happy on earth, or -go to heaven when they die. - -At first he was stupid and stubborn, and unwilling to learn; but -after a little while his stolid face began to brighten, his dull -eyes sparkled with unusual interest, and he was more and more -attentive, till his coarse, animal features wore an entirely new -expression. One day he came in with a very serious look, and said -in an earnest tone: - -“Mistress, oh me got bad heart! Ask Great Spirit to give me better -heart.” - -He was told to ask for himself; and then the poor little child of -the Great Father went into his own room alone and shut the door, -and kneeled down beside the bed and prayed, oh! so earnestly, that -God would forgive his sins for Jesus’ sake, and take away his -wicked feelings, and show him how to be good. From that moment he -was a changed boy. His bad habits were all laid aside. He ceased -to be stupid and stubborn and inattentive. He told no more lies, -and pilfered no more. His face glowed with kindly feeling, as if a -ray from heaven were sleeping on it. His coarse features lost their -repulsive expression and became rather pleasant to see. I am sure -there was rejoicing in heaven that day over this little stray lamb -from the wilderness; and I do not doubt that when God gathers up -his jewels from the earth the poor Indian boy will be a precious -gem in the Saviour’s crown of glory. - - - - -RECEIPTS FOR FEBRUARY, 1883. - - * * * * * - - - MAINE, $261.26. - - Augusta.

NEW YORK E 14TH ST. CHICAGO, 149 WABASH -AVE.] - - - * * * * * - - - WITHOUT A PARALLEL - - IN MEDICAL HISTORY. - -The remarkable results which have attended the administration -of Compound Oxygen, the new remedy for chronic and so-called -“incurable diseases,” _are without a parallel in medical history_. - -As dispensers of this new remedy, we have, after over twelve years -of earnest, untiring and costly effort to introduce it to those who -need its vitalizing and health-restoring influences, succeeded in -resting its claims on the basis of facts and results of so wide and -universal a character—_facts and results on record and open to the -closest investigations_—that no room for a question remains as to -its _marvelous action in restoring the diseased to health_. - -The rapidly-increasing number of those who have obtained relief -from pain or been restored to health by Compound Oxygen, reaching -now to many thousands, scattered throughout the whole country, is -having a wide influence on public sentiment. There are no arguments -so convincing as well-known facts. If a man or a woman who has been -suffering for years from an exhausting disease, which no physician -had been able to cure, tries a newly-discovered remedy and is -brought back to health, the fact stands as an unanswerable argument -in favor of that remedy, so far, at least, as this particular case -is concerned. A resort to the same remedy in another case, regarded -as incurable, and with a like result, adds a new and stronger -argument in its favor. Accumulate similar results to the number -of hundreds and thousands, and in the widest range of chronic and -“desperate” diseases and abandoned cases, and you have a weight -of evidence that is irresistible. On this weight of indisputable -evidence we rest the claims of Compound Oxygen. - -It is frequently urged against this treatment by persons who have -not made themselves acquainted with the natural laws governing its -action, that the same agent is administered for all diseases—for -neuralgia or catarrh; for rheumatism or consumption; for heart -disease or bronchitis; that we offer it as a universal specific. In -our _Treatise on Compound Oxygen_, which will be _mailed free_ to -any one who will write to us for it, we have fully explained the -nature and action of this remedy, and shown that it is not specific -to any disease or class of diseases; but that it acts directly upon -the nervous system and vital organs, and thence universally in -the whole body. It gives new force and a more vigorous action to -all the life-centres, thus restoring to nature the dominant power -and healthy action which had been lost. This being the case, no -matter what the disease, or where located, it must be gradually -ameliorated, and, if the central healthy action can be maintained, -finally cured. Every intelligent and unprejudiced person will at -once see that if the law of action which we claim for Compound -Oxygen be the true one, its operation must be universal, and not -local or specific; and that all forms of disease may be reached -by this agent. And the fact that they are reached, and in so -large a number of cases relieved, verifies the theory of cure and -substantiates the claims which are made for this new substance as -_being the most remarkable in its action of any therapeutic agent -yet discovered_. - -If we contrast the violence which is so often done to the delicate -organisms of the human body through the administration of drugs, -given to break the force of a disease, and which sometimes -keep the patient lingering for months in slow convalescence, -needing all the while the physician’s care, with the revitalized -condition of compound oxygen patients, the advantage on the side -of the latter, as compared with those treated under most of the -prevailing systems, becomes strikingly apparent. Under the new -treatment, which is by inhalation, there is no weakening of the -tone of the stomach by drugs, and no violent assaults upon any -nerve or fibre in the body, _but a gentle and subtly penetrating -influence, reaching to the very centre of all the life forces, and -restoring them to a healthier action_. The natural result under -this treatment must be that, when a patient recovers he is in a -far better condition to resist the causes which produce disease -than the patient who has had the life forces weakened through drug -medication. - -_As a restorer of vital force_, it can be largely shown from the -results obtained during the past twelve years, that _Compound -Oxygen is the most efficient agent yet discovered by the medical -profession. Its use by over-worked business and professional men, -and by all who suffer from nervous exhaustion and low vitality, -would save many hundreds of lives every year and give to thousands -more the ability to work without the weariness, exhaustion and -peril which now attend their labors._ - -Our large correspondence with patients and health-seekers, -throughout this and other countries, gives evidence of the -increasing confidence which is steadily growing in the public -mind favorable to the Oxygen cure.

Communications will be -found from Capt. Pratt, Gen. Armstrong, Hon. Carl Schurz and Prof. -Riggs. These gentlemen have made the condition of the Indian a -study for some years, and, by experience in public service, in the -army, and by educational and religious endeavors, have had rare -opportunities to test their theories and principles by practical -efforts in behalf of the Indians. We know of no men more competent -to speak on the subject or more worthy of the confidence of the -public. Statistics relating to our Indian work, including that -recently transferred to us by the American Board, are given. As we -now are charged with the entire work done by the Congregationalists -for the American aborigines, we trust we shall have the prayers and -help needful for doing it efficiently.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>FINANCIAL.</h3> - -<p>Our <em>receipts</em> show a falling off. Five months of the fiscal year -are ended, and the receipts from donations are $20,774.39 less -than for the corresponding months of last year; from legacies -only $17,471.44 more. The decrease is in the contributions of -living donors, and upon these rather than upon legacies, which -are fluctuating and uncertain, must the Association rely for its -regular support. Its <em>work</em> was never more successful or needed. -The kind of schools and churches it establishes, and the preachers -and teachers it sends forth, are becoming more fully appreciated. -We are urgently invited to enter new and unusually promising -openings for an enlarged church work. The valuable service rendered -by our increased corps of lady missionaries makes a strong demand -for large additions to their number. The Indian work received by -the Association from the American Board will add about $20,000 -to the expenditures of the year, without the enlargement which -it so greatly needs. The Chinese<a class="pagenum" name="Page_98" id="Page_98">[98]</a> work makes a strong appeal for -additional accommodations for the increasing number of pupils in -the schools.</p> - -<p>Without an increase of receipts, or the creation of a debt, -the Association cannot enlarge its work, or even sustain it in -its present condition. Our Executive Committee feel themselves -pledged against a debt by their promises to the public and by -their own deep convictions of duty. But they confidently believe -that the conscientious donors who have stood by the Association -so faithfully in the past will promptly render such efficient -assistance as will not only save it from debt or curtailment, but -will authorize enlargement.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3 title="PARAGRAPHS">MUST HAVES.</h3> - -<p>The following “must haves” sent us in a private letter from -President Ware, of Atlanta, illustrate the urgency of the appeals -that constantly come to us from our different workers South. -Mr. Ware says: “We must have buildings; we must have endowments -for running expenses; we must or go to the wall; we must have -building for grade B; for model school building, $8,000; we must -have cottage in girls’ lot for housekeeping instruction, $5,000; -we must have new hall for girls, $25,000, that will give room for -100 girls; we must have shop for industries, carpenter, etc., and -endowment for support of man in that department, about $50,000 for -both;” a batch, it will be seen, of $88,000, with no estimate of -the amount needed for general endowment. We believe that it has -been found so far by those who have put their money into Atlanta -University that it has yielded “some thirty, some sixty, and some -an hundred fold.” The stock is not all taken. We invite investors -to examine the “points” in this venture, and trust that the merits -of the security will warrant a speedy absorption of the entire -amount called for.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>We are cheered by many kind words relating to the <span class="smcap">American -Missionary</span>, and believe that those interested in the nation’s -welfare, and especially in the redemption of the South, find in -it much to encourage them to hope and to give in behalf of the -people for whom we labor. Nothing, however, gives more evidence -of appreciation than the steady response to our appeals for paid -subscriptions. So far this year these have been very gratifying. -The price is fifty cents, and we hope there will be no abatement -of interest on the part of our friends in helping us place the -magazine on a paying basis.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>In the list of the teachers at Hampton, as reported in the February -<cite>Missionary</cite>, the name of Miss Waldron should have been put as Miss -M.

For -the past fifteen years she had been engaged in missionary work -under the A. M. A., laboring in Montgomery, Louisville, Selma, -Talladega and Tougaloo. Mrs. Pope brought into her work rare -qualities of mind and heart. Her good judgment, her readiness in -emergencies and her kindly interest in every one was an inspiration -to all.

The meetings for April will be held in the following -order: Tuesday, the 3d, Thomaston, morning and afternoon; -Wednesday, the 4th, Waterbury, 2d church, morning and afternoon; -Thursday, the 5th, New Britain, afternoon and evening; Tuesday, -the 10th, New Haven, Davenport Church, afternoon and evening; -Wednesday, the 11th, Rockville, 1st church, morning and afternoon; -Thursday, the 12th, Putnam, morning and afternoon; Tuesday, -the 17th, Norfolk, morning and afternoon; Wednesday, the 18th, -Torrington, 3d church, morning and afternoon; Thursday, the -19th, West Winsted, morning and afternoon; Tuesday, the 24th, -Danielsonville, morning and afternoon; Wednesday, the 25th, -Norwich, 2d church, morning and afternoon; Thursday, the 26th, New -London, 1st church, morning and afternoon; Friday, the 27th, New -Haven, Fair Haven, 1st church, morning and afternoon.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>“<span class="smcap">Sermons and Speeches</span>,” by Rev. Atticus G. Haygood, D.D., -is the title of a neat volume issued by the Southern Methodist -Publishing House, Nashville. It contains 428 pages, and is offered -at the low price of $1.25. The sermon likely to attract the most -attention is on “The New South, Gratitude, Amendment, Hope.” It was -preached on Thanksgiving Day, 1880, and circulated extensively in -pamphlet form. “A Christian Citizen,” another sermon, is perhaps of -equal merit, and especially pertinent to the condition of affairs -South. The addresses of special interest to the general reader -relate to “The Negro—A Citizen” and “The New South from a Southern -Standpoint.” These addresses are comprehensive, catholic and kindly -in spirit. Dr. Haygood convinces his readers of his sincerity, and -charms them by the vigor and freshness of his style. Every word he -utters indicates his purpose to do good. The circulation of these -sermons and speeches will do much to create better feeling between -well-disposed people North and South. We wish the book the success -it merits.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_100" id="Page_100">[100]</a></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<p>Pursuant to the action taken at our last Annual Meeting relating -to a petition requesting a report on the policy of the Association -in regard to race or color prejudice in the support of schools or -churches, our Executive Committee, to whom the matter was referred, -have passed the following minutes.</p> - -<p>I.

Already fair beginnings have been made. As will be -seen by a cut published herewith, we have good grounds, several -attractive and suitable buildings, with other improvements. By -an examination of a map with reference to the location of the -different Indian tribes, it will be found that Santee is accessible -to seven tribes, numbering over twenty thousand souls. The railroad -systems of the vicinity are such that no great difficulty or -expense would be experienced in bringing students together. The -tribes speaking the Dakota language number more than those speaking -any other Indian dialect on the continent. The churches already -established among them, with a membership of 847, are in full -sympathy with the Santee school. No difficulty is likely to come -from a lack of students, as already the institution has during the -present year been obliged to turn them away for want of room.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_104" id="Page_104">[104]</a></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/santee.jpg" width="500" height="287" alt="" /> -<p class="center">SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL.</p> -</div> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_105" id="Page_105">[105]</a></p> - -<p>Mr. Thomas L.

The variety of industries that it would be desirable to -promote would be limited only by the wants of the people in a new -country. Carpentering, blacksmithing, shoemaking, broommaking and -basketmaking, are trades that well might receive early attention. -It would be no part of the plan to interfere with the religious or -normal school work by the more general introduction of industrial -training. We believe that Christian nurture is promoted rather -than retarded by attention to industrial pursuits among students, -when wise oversight is given for the sake of useful achievements. -The plan of locating the students in cottages, so that each home -may have a quiet and healthful influence upon the untutored youth -from wigwam life, is already inaugurated, and can be extended to -meet all emergencies. The land at the agency is controlled by the -government, but no difficulty is anticipated in securing all that -may be needed for the use of the school.

CARL SCHURZ.</p> - -<p>The increased interest of public-spirited citizens in the education -of Indian children is one of the best, if not the best result, -of recent discussions of the Indian question. The success of the -schools at Hampton, in Virginia, Carlisle, in Pennsylvania, and -Forest Grove, in Oregon, have amply demonstrated what can be -accomplished if such schools be organized on the right principle -and conducted with ability and energy. That this is more and more -generally appreciated is all the more fortunate, as the Indian -question is no longer one the solution of which can be trusted to -time.</p> - -<p>As the progress of settlement and enterprise in the far western -regions, or, as it is called in a general way, “the development -of the country,” advances, the old methods of providing for the -Indians become obsolete. Large reservations of wild land, on -which the Indian can freely roam and support himself, partly by -hunting, will soon be things of the past. Even now an “Indian -frontier” does no longer exist. The abiding places of the -Indians are almost everywhere surrounded by rapidly increasing -populations of white men eagerly pressing upon the Indian lands. -One reservation after another is broken up to make room for new -lines of communication and for agricultural and mining enterprises. -However conscientious the government may be in its intention and -endeavor to protect the rights of the Indians at all points, it -is evident that the Indians will<a class="pagenum" name="Page_106" id="Page_106">[106]</a> soon, in every part of the -country, be interspersed with an aggressive force, constantly -growing in volume and power, which will threaten to overwhelm them -like a rising flood. Their circumstances are essentially changed. -The alternative of civilization or extermination is immediately -before them—civilization enabling them to become in all important -respects a part of the population among which they are to live; or -extermination in a vain struggle to maintain the habits of savage -life against the progress of superior forces, or rapid decay as -miserable paupers and outcasts by the failure of self-sustaining -ability. This alternative presents itself not as a question looming -up in the distant future, to be solved by coming generations, but -as a question involving the existence of the young generation of -Indians now living. It is, in one word, a question of immediate -urgency.</p> - -<p>If the Indians are to live at all, they must learn to live like -white men. They can no longer stand in the way of the development -of the country, but they must be enabled to become part of that -development, and thus to be benefited by it. The “white man’s -way” of which they are in the habit of speaking, must not, as -heretofore, remain to them a mere vague, shadowy idea, but they -must acquire a practical conception of what the white man’s way -really is, what its objects are, and by what means those objects -are attained. They must acquire that conception soon, for they will -need it soon. The education of the young generation of Indians -is <a id="Err4" name="Err4"></a>therefore an immediately pressing necessity. And it must be -an education that takes them out of their traditional ways of -thinking, out of their old ambitions and habits of life. They must -not only learn some reading and writing, but they must learn what -reading and writing is for in the practical competitions of human -existence. They must learn how to work and how to make their work -useful. They must learn to love work by seeing and appreciating the -fruits of it. Industrial training of a thoroughly practical kind -must therefore go hand-in-hand with the ordinary rudimentary school -education. The two things must be carried on with constant regard -to the unity of aim.</p> - -<p>The schools at Hampton, Carlisle and Forest Grove are conducted -upon this principle, and the results attained there prove that -Indian youths can be taught the things required to provide for the -necessities of life and to lift the Indian above the state of the -pauper as well as of the savage. Of course we must not expect too -much of them. We must not expect that they will issue from these -schools as model men and model women in every respect. We must not -expect that on the average they will be better than the average of -white boys and girls, raised under the same circumstances and with -the same advantages or disadvantages, would be. In point of fact, -the reports about the young men and women who, after having gone -through their three years’ term at Hampton or Carlisle,<a class="pagenum" name="Page_107" id="Page_107">[107]</a> returned -to their people in the western country, have been as different as -reports would be about white boys and girls similarly situated. -Some were bright, active and industrious, others dull and indolent. -But a large majority of them have been doing well and showed a -marked superiority in character, ambition and conduct over other -young Indians who had not enjoyed the same kind of education. There -is <a id="Err1" name="Err1"></a>no doubt that their presence among their people as teachers -and examples and as a moving force generally will exercise a most -healthy and elevating influence, provided the number of Indians so -educated be large enough to make them among the rising generation -the rule, instead of their remaining exceptional cases, as they now -are. It is, therefore, essential that such schools and the number -of pupils in them be multiplied as much as possible.</p> - -<p>The schools at Hampton and Carlisle are mentioned here in -preference to the schools established at the different agencies, -partly because the former are superior as to the force of teachers -employed there, as well as to their equipment in other respects, -and partly because they offer to their Indian pupils the peculiar -advantage of withdrawing them entirely from the savage influences -of the Indian camps and placing them under the immediate influence -of civilized surroundings, where they can learn the “white -man’s way,” by seeing civilization at work. But as this method -of educating young Indians is expensive, and Congress rather -parsimonious as to appropriations for such purposes, the number of -Indians profiting from it is necessarily very small in proportion -to the whole population, while it ought to be very large. The -establishment of an Indian school on the same plan near the Santee -agency in Nebraska, as contemplated by the American Missionary -Association, is therefore all the more to be welcomed. Although the -surroundings of that school will not be quite as civilized as those -of Hampton and Carlisle, yet the Santee reservation is at least on -all sides easily accessible to civilized influences. It is a small -tract, encircled by settlements of white people. At the same time, -a school established there will be able to draw its pupils from the -great Sioux reserve in Dakota at small cost, the distance being -inconsiderable and the means of communication cheap and convenient. -The American Missionary Association could scarcely render a more -valuable service to the Indian race or do more credit to its own -good judgment and benevolent impulses than by making so valuable an -addition to the educational forces among the red men.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>—A difficulty in prosecuting the work among the Indians in British -Columbia is found in the fact that the tribes speak distinct -languages. Not less than seven different dialects are used in the -range of country embraced by missionary effort.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_108" id="Page_108">[108]</a></p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF WORK AT CARLISLE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY CAPT. R. H. PRATT.</p> - -<p>In compliance with your request I herewith furnish you with a brief -history of the Carlisle School, and some account of its industrial -features. It originated in the sending to Florida from the Indian -Territory of 74 Indian prisoners in the spring of 1875. At the -instance of General Sheridan I was selected by the War Department -and placed in charge of those prisoners, they having been under my -care at Fort Sill. They were from the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Kiowa -and Comanche tribes and were selected for this banishment because -of well-known offenses against the peace of the frontier. Some -of them were guilty of the most outrageous crimes. Years of army -service among the Indians and observation of their treatment had -led me to change my views for opinions in favor of giving to the -Indian a broader chance and a desire that he might be brought more -in contact with the peaceful and industrious side of civilized -life, and so before the prisoners were started from Fort Sill I -wrote to my superiors urging that they be educated and trained -industrially during their imprisonment. Soon after reaching St. -Augustine I wrote repeatedly to the War Department urging that -some locality with more industrial surroundings be selected and -the prisoners be transferred. This was denied, and I then set -to work to make the best use of the elements to be found in the -sleepy old Spanish town. With no means, I was forced to seek the -co-operation of charitable and missionary folks. Miss S. A. Mather, -Miss Perit, Mrs. King Gibbs, Mrs. Couper Gibbs, of St. Augustine, -and Mrs. Dr. Caruthers of Tarrytown, N.Y., winter resident of St. -Augustine, volunteered to teach and did teach the classes of those -grown Indian men for two years and a half, giving them about one -hour’s instruction daily. Industrially there was little practical -opportunity, but numbers were placed for different periods to work -on saw mills, at picking oranges, as hostlers, grubbing the land, -boating and whatever could be found in connection with their own -necessities and comfort in the old fort. Twice we boated pine -logs from a distance and constructed log houses within the fort, -riving the clap-boards, building stick chimneys, chinking and -daubing that they might learn to construct their own homes. Some -of them advanced rapidly in acquiring literary, English speaking -and industrial knowledge. Others were very stupid. The greatest -success in the labor line was in placing five men to grub five -acres that had intimidated other laborers both white and black. -The undergrowth and roots to be removed were of the most dense and -appalling kind, and yet the Indians stuck to it until they had made -a complete success of it.</p> - -<p>Another of the best evidences of the success of our labor efforts -was a petition signed by a very considerable number of laborers and -others of the community asking that I be estopped in the putting -of the Indians out to labor in competition with other classes, as -I was taking bread from the mouths of those who were dependent -upon such labor for their living, etc. In the spring of 1878 the -authorities at Washington determined to release the prisoners and -permit them to return to their homes. There were 22 of them who -preferred to remain East and get a better knowledge of civilized -life and more education before going home. The expenses of these -22 young men were undertaken by different charitable people. Gen. -S. C. Armstrong, of the Hampton Normal Institute, received 17 into -his institution, while four went to Paris Hill, near Utica, N.Y., -under the immediate charge of Rev. J. B. Wickes, an Episcopal -clergyman, encouraged by Bishop Huntington, all the expenses being -undertaken by Mrs. Burnham. One was taken to Tarrytown, N.Y., in -Dr. Caruther’s own family.<a class="pagenum" name="Page_109" id="Page_109">[109]</a> Hampton Institute being an industrial -school, furnished the most seasonable and practical education of -any institution I was able to find. The remainder of the party were -returned to their respective agencies, and such was the effect of -their training in Florida during their three years’ absence, that -they at once became the best element for progress in their tribes. -At this time, while a few have gone back to the blanket condition, -most likely from necessity, because no other way was open to them, -there is abundant testimony in the reports of their respective -agents during the past four years that they are still a useful and -leading industrious element among their people.</p> - -<p>A few weeks after the arrival of the party at Hampton Institute, -General Armstrong was so favorably impressed by the conduct and -progress of the 17 he had undertaken, that he was willing to -increase the number by adding 50 more, and including girls. Mr. -Schurz and Mr. McCrary, then Secretaries of the Interior and War -Departments, accepted the proposition, and I was sent, in the fall -of 1878, to Dakota, and brought away 49 children from six different -agencies of the Sioux, Gros Ventre, Mandan and Arickeree tribes. -These, together with the former Florida prisoners, were placed -under training in all the varied systems of literary and industrial -pursuits. Hampton Institute provides liberally for its colored -students, and side by side with those colored pupils the Indian -boys and girls, in perfect harmony with the new life, demonstrated -their capacity to hold their own in improving the best of chances. -It was very much desired by the friends of this new movement, and -particularly General Armstrong, that I should remain with it, and a -clause was introduced in the army appropriation bill, which passed -Congress in the spring of 1879, for the detail of one officer, -not above the rank of captain, for duty with reference to Indian -education.</p> - -<p>It was a plan which I had urged for several years that to get the -best results in our educational work among Indian children as -many as possible should be removed from reservation and tribal -influences and placed in the atmosphere of civilized life, and -to this end I had urged the use of vacant military posts and -barracks as furnishing, without much cost in changing and improving -buildings, places to make a beginning, and I proposed to the -Interior and War Departments that I would undertake the education -of 250 or 300 children at the old military buildings at Carlisle. -This proposition was accepted, and after many preliminaries I was -sent in September, 1879, to the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Agencies in -Dakota and brought away 84 children, and immediately after went to -the Indian Territory and from the Kiowa, Cheyenne, Pawnee and other -tribes brought 52 more. To these were added 11 from the Hampton -Institute of the young men who had been with me in Florida. The -school was opened on the first of November with 147 students. To -these were added from time to time children from various Western -tribes, and at the end of July, 1880, we numbered 239 children, -about one-third of whom were girls. At the end of the second -year, October, 1881, we had increased to 295. At the present -writing we number 379—132 girls and 247 boys. From the beginning -our principle has been to place the most emphasis on industrial -training, next English speaking and then literary training. -To accomplish the first we very early in the work established -shops for mechanical instruction in carpentry, blacksmithing, -wagon-making, harness-making, tailoring, tinsmithing, shoemaking, -printing, baking and on our farm of 115 acres gave some scope for -agricultural training. We have avoided theory in our industries and -adhered to practice, being governed to a great extent by the old -apprentice system. We have at the head of each branch a skilled -mechanic as practical instructor, and as nearly as possible we -pursue the methods of trades people in their instructions to<a class="pagenum" name="Page_110" id="Page_110">[110]</a> -apprentices. We give half of each day to work and the other half to -school, and have found that our progress is proportionately greater -in each than it would be if the attention was directed to either -the one or the other for the whole time. Under this system we have -in training as carpenters 13 boys; as wagon-makers and blacksmiths, -15; as harness-makers, 15; as shoemakers, 19; as tailors, 12; -as turners, 11; as printers, 5; as bakers, 3; and every boy not -engaged at some trade is required to work during the season upon -the farm. Such products of our labors as we are not able to make -use of for the school are purchased by the Indian Department and -shipped to agencies. We think our boys as forward in capacity -for receiving instruction on each of the several branches as the -average white boy. In the blacksmith shop our apprentice boys after -two years’ instruction, are able to iron a wagon, repair a plow, -shoe a horse, etc. In the wood-working department able to get out -all the different wood parts of the wagon ready for the blacksmith. -In the tin-smithing to construct coffee pots, buckets, pails, -pans, cups, etc. In the harness-making to cut out and manufacture -harness. In the tailoring to cut out and manufacture clothing. In -shoemaking to repair and manufacture boots and shoes. In printing -to set up and distribute type and make up forms. In baking we have -no other help than Indians. We give to our girls instruction in the -various industries of the sex and find no general lack. In cooking, -sewing, house work, laundry work, etc., they are apt pupils.</p> - -<p>One of the most useful features of our work has been the placing of -our boys and girls in private families, principally among farmers, -where they perform the same kind of labor and are subjected to the -same home and labor influences that white children of their own -ages receive. This has the most beneficial results. The children -take on English speaking and the industries of civilized life very -speedily. During vacation we place out all we can spare from our -own work, and during the winter we allow a considerable number to -remain and attend the public schools in the several neighborhoods, -they being required to do such work mornings and evenings as they -are capable of and so pay for their board and clothes. By this -course we are enabled to carry a very considerable number more -pupils than we are allowed appropriation for. It is plain that the -real hindrance to Indian progress is found in their being kept -entirely separated from the other masses of our population, and -by every act of our government and every sentiment of its people, -societies, missionary and others, made to feel that they are a -separate people and must so remain forever. Through their education -in separate schools, their home life upon prison reservations with -their liberty of coming and going abridged to these reservations, -with all their aspirations and ambitions so limited, there can be -no healthy growth. To overcome these difficulties the Indian mind -and the mind of the public as well as Congress must be educated to -grant to them the enlarged privileges accorded to all other races. -The boy will never learn to swim until he goes into the water, -and the experiences of industrial life and civilized life through -its associations and competitions will determine for the Indian -and white the true status. We have had quite enough of the Sioux, -Cheyenne, Comanche, etc., as Sioux, Cheyenne, Comanche, etc. We can -end their existence among us as such separate people by a broad -and generous system of English education and training, which will -reach all the 50,000 children and in a very few years remove all -our trouble from them as a separate people and as separate tribes -among us, and instead of feeding clothing and caring for them from -year to year, put them in condition to feed clothe and care for -themselves. Our experiences in many individual cases in the<a class="pagenum" name="Page_111" id="Page_111">[111]</a> last -few years make it very evident that not only may we fit the Indian -to take care of himself in his own home, but may fit him to go and -come and abide in the land wherever he may choose, and so lose his -identity.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/mandan.jpg" width="500" height="287" alt="" /> -<p class="center">MANDAN HUT, DAKOTA.</p> -</div> - - -<h3>THE HISTORY AND OUTLOOK OF THE INDIAN WORK TRANSFERRED TO THE A. M. A.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">PROF. ALFRED L. RIGGS.</p> - -<p>Just fifty years ago two Congregational young men from Connecticut, -the Messrs. Samuel and Gideon Pond, pressed on into the heart -of the then unknown continent to see what they could do for the -Indian. They landed at Fort Snelling, in what is now Minnesota, and -began their volunteer mission among an Eastern branch of the Dakota -or Sioux nation.</p> - -<p>One year later the American Board sent out the Rev. Dr. Williamson -on a tour of exploration, and the next year after that a mission -was regularly established. The organized work gathered in the -volunteers, and, moreover, according to the fashion of the times, -Congregational relations disappeared and work was started on the -Presbyterian basis.</p> - -<p>For years it was a slow, hard lift against the weight of heathenism -and pride of race. Nowhere is race pride stronger than among the -Indians. As is often the case, those who have least to be proud of -vaunt themselves the most. So, while the Indian has to acknowledge -that the white man is possessor of gifts that class him with the -gods (the Dakota name for white man being the same as that he -applies to his gods), and thus for the sake of his mysterious power -he fears him, yet personally he despises him as different from -himself and effeminate.</p> - -<p>And heathenism! Some would have us believe that it did not exist; -that the Indian naturally was as good a Christian as need be. The -courtesy of the Indian perhaps leads to this deceptive view. He -will assent to everything you say rather<a class="pagenum" name="Page_112" id="Page_112">[112]</a> than be so impolite as -to contradict you. Then, too, his pantheism easily makes room for -another god. So the white man’s god soon had his banner set up at -their sacred rites together with the Stone god, the Day god, the -Night god, the Thunder god, and the god of the North.</p> - -<p>But when Christ claims the whole of their worship, and belief -in him is seen to require the giving up of their other faiths, -and the casting away of their charms and incantations, then the -antagonism of the unregenerate heart breaks out here as everywhere. -And the magicians and “medicine men” are stirred up to bitter and -unremitting warfare as soon as they discover that their craft is in -danger.</p> - -<p>As if here were not enough obstacles to meet, there comes in -the opposition begotten of the selfishness and dissoluteness of -unprincipled white men. For years the fur trade was almost as -much the enemy of missions as was the slave trade. The agents of -this great enterprise were bound to keep the Indians hunters and -trappers in order that their warehouses might be filled with furs. -The fur trade also controlled the government, and even to-day its -power is felt through laws made then for its benefit and that yet -remain on the statute book. Hence in its day the fur trade was -a foe to be dreaded, for it could exert its power in a thousand -secret ways. It could break up schools, scare people away from -religious meetings, and put a ban on the Christian teacher, if -content to leave him alive.</p> - -<p>After thirty years of patient labor the reward seemed about -to come. Christianity was proving its power to disintegrate -heathenism, break down prejudice and survive the enmity of -unprincipled white men.</p> - -<p>Then the outbreak and massacres of 1862 occurred, seemingly -sweeping everything away. It was the death-struggle of heathenism, -alarmed at the steady advance of Christianity. Other political -causes and conditions merely made this outbreak possible. And yet -what seemed annihilation was only multiplication and dissemination. -Again was fulfilled the Scripture: “They that were scattered abroad -went preaching the word.” And the conversion in the military -prisons of hundreds as it were in a day, is one of the notable -instances of the power of God’s spirit.</p> - -<p>Twenty years ago the field of Christian missions among the Dakotas -was confined to a small section of the nation then dwelling in -a corner of Minnesota. But now the field extends over the great -Missouri valley and on northward toward the Saskatchawan in the -British Possessions.</p> - -<p>The work whose beginnings we have noted, originally one under the -American Board, has since been divided. In 1871, at the time of -the general division of the missions of the American Board, that -part of the Dakota Mission immediately under the charge of the -venerable Dr. Williamson and his son, Rev. John P. Williamson, -was transferred to the care of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign -Missions. But the larger portion remained with the other veteran -of the mission, Rev. Stephen B. Riggs, under the care of the -American Board. And now with the year 1883 another transfer is -made to the American Missionary Association. But the five native -churches, with a membership of 340, that had meanwhile grown up -about Sisseton Agency are graduated from foreign missions into a -home mission connection, and so naturally pass under the care of -the Presbyterian Home Mission Board. It is not within the scope -of this short article to speak of the work accomplished by the -Episcopal Mission in the same field, which had its beginning -about thirty years later than the original Dakota Mission, and in -recent years has had very considerable success. Nor can we speak -particularly of the portion of our great field lying across the -British line, for though we have furnished the native laborers it -is not organically connected with us. But as for the rest of the -original mission, even though divided, it works as one. It has one -General Conference,<a class="pagenum" name="Page_113" id="Page_113">[113]</a> and in all its publications and matters of -common concern acts as one mission still.</p> - -<p>The statistics of the Dakota Mission, as thus defined, show 7 -stations, 6 ordained missionaries, 26 assistant missionaries, 13 -churches, 12 native pastors and preachers, 9 native teachers, and -847 church members, contributing during the past year $779.83 for -their own missions among the heathen Indians, and $1,080.58 for -pastoral support and church expenses.</p> - -<p>Of this there now passes directly to the care of the American -Missionary Association 5 stations, with also an interest in the -Native Missionary field at Devil’s Lake, 4 ordained missionaries, -21 assistant missionaries, 2 churches, Pilgrim Church at Santee -and Shiloh Church at the Sully Station, with 8 native preachers, 5 -native teachers, and a church membership of 194.</p> - -<p>As has been noticed, the organization of the work from the first -has been on the Presbyterian model, and thus the fruits of the -mission have mostly gone into the Presbyterian connection. The -church at the Fort Sully Station was an exception. It was organized -as a Congregational church. Nevertheless, this Presbyterian cast, -this whole native force, is to be considered as one, and will be -used by whichever denomination is ready to prosecute the work -most vigorously, for the denominationalism of these churches is -not of a radical type, as is instanced by the recent change of -ecclesiastical relations on the part of the Pilgrim Church at -Santee. This is the original mother church, but in order to come -into closer and more sympathetic relations with the churches that -support the Santee Training School, it voted cheerfully and almost -unanimously to leave Presbytery and become Congregational. Indeed -this is not hard for them to do, for Indians are naturally very -democratic.</p> - -<p>In the work that may now be done for this people, <span class="smcap">Santee -Normal Training School</span> must be an important factor. It has -vital relation to all these native churches, and it has a name -among the heathen communities. Its growth has been slow, for it -has taken time and work to instil the idea of a higher education -into the minds of the people. Henceforth its growth might be -rapid. It now has one hundred and one pupils in attendance, with -seventeen instructors, including those in charge of the industrial -and boarding departments. This winter a number of pupils have been -turned away for lack of room. If accommodations could be provided, -the number of pupils might soon be doubled.</p> - -<p>While giving great attention to industrial training, it affords -unparalleled advantages for that training which is needed to make -teachers suited to Indian schools.</p> - -<p>The school is the basis of evangelizing the Indian. There will be -no large audiences to preach to, except on exceptional occasions, -until the school has gathered a company of disciples. Certain -persons not understanding the nature of missionary work, or unable -to take more than a superficial view, have recently represented our -schools as of low grade, and unnecessary to real missionary work. -But this is contradicted by the grand progress of the work.</p> - -<p>We have spoken of five mission stations as now passing under -the care of the A. M. A. But of these Standing Rock is hardly -opened, and Berthold and Sully stations are sadly in need of -reinforcements. And there are the large Indian Agencies of Spotted -Tail’s and Red Cloud’s tribes, numbering about 7,000 each, which -we ought to occupy. Then there is the Crow country in Montana, -next door to our Berthold Mission. We should have at once six -ordained missionaries and their wives, with as many more assistant -missionaries, all picked men. This would enable us to manage a yet -larger number of native missionary teachers working along with -them.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_114" id="Page_114">[114]</a></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/teacherandgirls.jpg" width="498" height="492" alt="" /> -<p class="center">SISSETON GIRLS, WITH TEACHER.</p> -</div> - -<p>The tribes speaking the Dakota language are the most numerous of -any Indian people upon the continent. They are now universally -open to Christianity and Christian civilization. They now look to -Christian people for their future. Within the last ten or twelve -years the whole temper of their mind has changed. The noted chief, -Sitting Bull, is an illustration. Only a few years ago he hated the -very wind that blew from the direction of the white man’s country. -When the wind blew from the east he would send out the town crier -to say, “Get you all into your teepees. This is bad air from the -white man’s country.” But when it blew from the north his crier -would proclaim, “Come out and breathe the healthy air.” And once -when a woman of the tribe brought home a “rooster” from a distant -trading post to enliven the tedium of her labor, Sitting Bull heard -it crow and<a class="pagenum" name="Page_115" id="Page_115">[115]</a> instantly dispatched his chief soldier to “soldier -kill” the woman, that is, cut up her tent and kill her horses, for -the crime of having that white man’s bird in the sacred precincts -of a Dakota camp. But now the same Sitting Bull is petitioning for -Christian teachers, and land, and domestic animals, and undoubtedly -would also welcome “the-bird-that-crows-in-the-morning.”</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>INDIAN INDUSTRIES AT HAMPTON.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY GEN. S. C. ARMSTRONG.</p> - -<p>Every Indian boy who comes to Hampton is allowed his choice to -learn farming or a trade, and to select the trade he prefers, to -which he is expected to stick. They often wish to change after some -months, for they are a fickle people. While this is by no means -done as a matter of course, it has sometimes been found wise to do -so. A boy who could do nothing at blacksmithing made remarkable -progress in the wheelwright’s shop; one who is poor on the farm may -be good in the shoe-shop, and <i lang="la" xml:lang="la">vice versa</i>; but it does not do to -encourage shifting trades. The girls go through the same routine of -housework, cooking, cutting and making and mending clothes.</p> - -<p>The boys are assigned to work as follows: carpenters, 15; painters, -1; tinsmiths, 6; shoe-makers, 13; harness-makers, 3; farmers, 13; -blacksmiths, 3; wheelwrights, 3; tailors, 1. A generous lady in New -York City has recently given $5,000 for an Indian workshop, which -will be completed and occupied by the first of April next, and be a -most satisfactory change from the shed in which they have for four -years uncomfortably worked at their trades.</p> - -<p>Considering the past of the Indian, the disposition of our boys -and girls to work is remarkable. The general rule is to work from -seven to twelve o’clock, <span class="smcap lowercase">A.M.</span>, or from one to six o’clock, -<span class="smcap lowercase">P.M.</span>, Saturday being holiday. Those who work mornings -study afternoons, and <i lang="la" xml:lang="la">vice versa</i>. All are paid, girls as well as -boys, usually at the rate of $2.50 per month, for to expect Indians -to take a real interest in their work without some compensation is -absurd. It is weak and foolish to reason that the skill they attain -is enough compensation. Human nature requires something more. On -the other hand they purchase all their underclothing and shoes with -their earnings, and are thus taught the use of money and the true -value of garments, and become quite skillful in buying. A school -uniform is provided for each one, made in our tailoring department.</p> - -<p>Their appreciation of work is a direct contradiction to the -statement that an Indian hates to labor. Frequently boys who are -working a half-day at some trade will ask to be allowed to work the -entire day, including Saturday, so as to earn more and be better -able to take care of themselves when they go home. Their wages are -then increased and they go to night school. Every such application -is encouraging.</p> - -<p>Especially those who make extra time in the shops are inclined to -save. They generally agree to draw but one-half of extra earnings, -the other half being saved to buy them tools and other outfit when -they shall finally leave school. We allow ten per cent. interest -on all such savings; they are quick to see the advantage of laying -up money. They seem to have no marked aptitude for special trades, -unless it be for work in leather, shoe and harness-making. Their -ancestors have dealt in this commodity more than in any other. They -take to all handiwork remarkably; while quick to learn, they are -slow to execute. They seldom bungle or “botch” a job. The first -pair of shoes made by an apprentice is always serviceable. An -Indian carpenter will make as good a mortise as a white one, but -will take three times as long. Our expert harness-maker says he can -do no better<a class="pagenum" name="Page_116" id="Page_116">[116]</a> work than some of his boys, but they are very slow -about it. We are constantly making and selling carts made by Sioux -boys. They have made all our school benches, desks, wardrobes and -wash-stands, besides window-frames, etc., for the outside market.</p> - -<p>We would be only too glad to make buggy or plow harness, single -or double, tin-ware of all kinds and brogan shoes for individuals -or institutions in the North or South, solely on the ground of -the merit and cheapness of the work done. A neat carriage harness -was made last summer for a lady in Newport, R.I. Of the 500 dozen -articles of tinware, 75 sets of double plow harness, and 2,000 -pairs of men’s shoes made last year by our Indian boys for the -use of the Western tribes (ordered by the Indian Department at -the lowest contract prices of the previous year) the New York -inspectors reported: “They are as well and as strongly made, and -for actual service fully equal to any purchased by the Department.”</p> - -<p>This year we are making an even larger amount of material for the -Indian Department, but at prices which little more than cover cost -of material. An outside private trade would be much more desirable. -We were paid for men’s brogans “extra” good leather, $1.22½ per -pair, boxed and delivered in New York City. Carlisle does even more -than Hampton in supplying Indians, and with excellent success.</p> - -<p>Owing to bodily ailments, Indian labor is more unsteady than that -of Negroes. While in their own life they have endurance, a steady -routine of industry is new to them, and they are for our purposes -a rather feeble race: they find digging exhausting, but on the -hunter’s trail or on the warpath they are tireless when we would -soon be weary.</p> - -<p>Unless every Indian child is educated to some occupation, teaching -is of little account. Hard work rather than the higher studies -gives them the best drill. As for all, so for Indians, home -influence is a great thing. After the best practical education they -are not fit for the loose, idle, dirty life of Indian camps any -more than any other children. What is to be done? The best success -with the thirty Sioux children who returned in October, 1881, to -their agencies (five of them girls) has been with those to whom the -agents gave separate rooms near the agencies, having their food -cooked and their life led separately. An efficient agent will, by -the care he takes, save four-fifths of our Indian graduates to -decent lives; a careless, weak agent (and not a third of the sixty -U.S. Indian Agents are first-class men) will lose four-fifths of -them. We cannot make men of them in three years, but can give them -a start in that time that a good agent can keep up, and lead them -to true success.</p> - -<p>Here, more and more, we find the real trouble; not with the Indian, -but in our miserable system of paying so small salaries to Indian -agents that a competent one is the exception. The boy or girl -who goes home finds no strong, kind friend to advise and help; -the current of influence is against a Christian life. Here the -missionary is needed; never more than now.</p> - -<p>Hampton, Carlisle and the many schools that are educating Indians -need to be supplemented by good agents and wise missionaries who -will help them to stand against the odds that would make the -new life they have chosen nest to impossible. Here is the point -of chief anxiety. Public sentiment must be felt at Washington -before it shall remove the chief stumbling-block to Indian -progress—poor agents. As Secretary Teller says in his last Report, -the Indians are chiefly on reservations, and must for the present -be treated there; to be gradually pushed upon lands of their own, -individually, by the efforts of wise men and the influence of -Christian education.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_117" id="Page_117">[117]</a></p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>REVIVAL WORK AMONG INDIANS AT HAMPTON.</h3> - -<p>Miss Isabel B. Eustis, in giving an account of the revival meetings -at Hampton, writes as follows of the Indians:</p> - -<p>Meanwhile at one end of the chapel there sat a company of one -hundred who took no part in the service. The Indian students -watched with wondering and wistful eyes the scenes around them. -“Pass me not, O Gentle Saviour,” they sang often in their own -services during these days, and the Lord heard their cry and turned -aside and called them too. Stago, our fiery little Apache boy, -heard his voice, and set hard to work to conquer his temper and -self-will. The quick-witted, ambitious, head-strong girl, whose -influence over the other scholars we dreaded, listened, and her -hard expression softened, and the stubborn will yielded, and with -gentleness and humility she met the daily requirements which had -often roused her rebellious spirit before. Shallow natures grew -earnest and proud, and we knew that there was one walking with the -Indian students too who could purify and inspire and help.</p> - -<p>On Wednesday evening our senior Indian boy, of his own accord, left -his class and took his seat with the other Indian scholars. Waiting -his opportunity, he rose and called the attention of the school to -those who sat behind him. He reminded me of the darkness out of -which they had come, and of the dangers to which they must return. -He told us that they longed for a share in the blessing God was -giving the school, and asked our patience while they prayed to the -Father, and spoke of Him in a language we could not understand.</p> - -<p>Kamnach rose first. Kamnach came to the school four years ago, -directly from his wild Indian life. His hair was uncut; he wore -Indian clothes; he had been always familiar with scenes of -bloodshed, and placed little value on human life. After three years -he went back to his home, a changed man we thought in appearance -and heart. But it was hard to stand among his savage comrades. He -plead to come back to school. He was a happy boy, when, less than -a year ago, he placed his foot again on Hampton soil. Poor boy! he -had yet to learn that always his worst temptations would come from -his own distorted heart. Some misunderstanding of his position as a -returned student, some distrust of those who were over him, and he -fell into passionate hatred, and was ready to commit a deliberate -and deadly crime. We thought his repentance would be quick and -deep, but not so. The first Sunday of the new year, the anniversary -of the day on which he confessed Christ, he had no heart to meet -the Lord, whose first command was to love and forgive. But the -passing Saviour’s voice reached him now. He stood before the -crowded school, and with the help of an interpreter acknowledged -his sin, and renewed his allegiance to the Saviour, and begged the -Indian students to follow the Lord Jesus, though they would find -many things in His religion hard to understand and difficult to do.</p> - -<p>After Kamnach’s confession a Sioux boy made a prayer. He spoke in -another tongue, but more than one felt his heart was lifted to the -Father’s heart by the earnestness and pathos of the stranger’s -voice. Another tried to speak in broken English. Missing the -words he wanted to say, waiting and struggling for confession, -he acknowledged Jesus Christ as the Saviour of his soul. Our -hearts were knit together in love. We knew that we belonged to one -common family and nothing could separate from the love of Christ. -Evidently the son of God who came to save the lost finds nothing in -the Indian nature he cannot soften and subdue. Evidently the Indian -is able to place his confidence in such a Saviour and yield himself -in glad obedience to Him.</p> - -<hr class="full" /> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_118" id="Page_118">[118]</a></p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>CHILDREN’S PAGE.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 445px;"> -<img src="images/hut.jpg" width="445" height="471" alt="" /> -<p class="center">INDIAN HUT.</p> -</div> - - -<h3>THE LITTLE INDIAN OF CLEAR LAKE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">ABRIDGED FROM GOSPEL IN ALL LANDS.</p> - -<p>Did you ever see an Indian—a real, live Indian—in -bead-embroidered buck-skin coat and breeches, girded with a -curiously wrought wampum belt, shod with moccasins, his face -painted black and red, his hair bristling, like a porcupine’s back, -with a gay forest of feathers—as he dashed through the woods or -over the prairie, on a wild horse, or strode along proudly on -foot, with bow and arrows in his hands, and a large tomahawk and -scalping-knife in his girdle?</p> - -<p>You have seen him in the pictures, at least, and thought him a fine -sight; and perhaps you felt in your heart that it must be fine to -live such a wild, daring life, hunting, fishing and roaming in the -woods and over the fields.</p> - -<p>But all Indians are not like him. Tribes differ very much in their -character and habits. Besides, they are never quite so brave and -fine in real life as they are in pictures. Most of them are poor -miserable creatures; and if you should go into one of their wigwams -of sticks and barks, and see their naked bodies, filthy faces and -tangled hair, as they squat in the smoke and stench around a little -fire, on the bare earth, in the middle of the shanty, snatching at -poor food with dirty fingers, like a pack of ravenous wolves. I do -not believe you would think it very fine, ever after have the least -desire to live like an Indian.</p> - -<p>The little boy of our story was born and lived on the shores of -Clear Lake, a fine sheet of water among the mountains, thirty or -forty miles north of Napo Valley.</p> - -<p>Like all his mates, he was so short and thick that he seemed to -be about as broad as he was long. His skin was not copper-colored -like that of most other Indians, but black. His face was broad and -round, his lips thick and pouting, and his nose wide and flat. -His long coarse hair, all tangled and matted, dangled around his -high cheek-bones and above his naked shoulders, like the shaggy -mane of a Canadian pony, and half hid his coarse, brutal features: -a pair of small, round, dull eyes, like leaden bullets, made the -treacherous expression that slept in every line of his features -seem ten-fold more revolting.</p> - -<p>His wigwam, or lodge, was nothing but a rude screen of bushes or -skins to break the force of the wind. You would not think it very -nice or comfortable, but he did, and could sleep just as well -there, or on the ground beside a large stone, or behind the stump -of a fallen<a class="pagenum" name="Page_119" id="Page_119">[119]</a> tree as you do on the softest feathers. But he never -slept two nights in the same place, for fear of being discovered by -an enemy and murdered.</p> - -<p>It is a hard and cheerless life which those little Indian children -lead, as you can easily see, but the life of this little Indian was -especially so; for his father and mother had both been murdered, -and he had no friends to care for him any more kindly than they -would care for a dog; and even the <i>Hias Tyee</i>, or Big Chief of the -tribe, whose duty it was to see that this little waif on the stormy -sea of Indian life was provided for, thought only to get some -advantage out of him; and so, when he saw a white man camping one -day on the shores of the lake, he brought down the boy and offered -to sell him for ten dollars. It proved to be a kind, good-hearted -man, who saw that the little fellow was friendless and forlorn, -and so the bargain was soon closed, and he became servant to the -“pale-face” till he was twenty-one years old, on condition of -receiving his food and clothing.</p> - -<p>On reaching home, the first thing, of course, was to clip off his -dangling locks, give him a thorough scrubbing with soap and brush, -and cover his black nakedness with decent clothing.</p> - -<p>That afternoon, when the pigs were fed, he was found with his nose -in the trough eating sour milk with the animals as if he had been -one of them. At night nothing could persuade him to sleep in a room -or on a bed; and after dark, when the family had retired to rest, -he stole out of the house as slyly as a cat, and hid himself away -in the tall weeds beside the fence. Every night for many weeks he -did the same, and was so fearful of being murdered in his sleep -that he changed his nest every night, never daring to sleep twice -in the same spot.</p> - -<p>His tongue was constantly telling lies, and he would steal -everything he fancied that came in his way. He seemed to have no -idea of right and wrong. He could not comprehend what such words as -love and duty and kindness meant. Fear was the only motive which -had the least influence in controlling him. Even the difference -between cleanliness and dirt was a thought too sublime and profound -for his understanding.</p> - -<p>But he could believe in ghosts and haunting spirits of dead men, -like most other ignorant and barbarous people; and he thought they -lingered around every stump and tree, and followed him wherever he -went. He could hear them fluttering in the leaves, or rapping on -the limbs and trunks of the trees, or whispering in the wind. He -supposed they took possession of the bodies of men and animals, and -caused them to sing and dance, and do all sorts of silly tricks, -by a kind of inspiration. He had some notions of the Great Spirit, -it is true, but they were confused and indistinct, and had little -power over him, while a slavish fear of the inferior spirits and -other such ghostly nonsense tormented him night and day, and made -him a timid, miserable, degraded, creature.</p> - -<p>Had you seen him in that condition you would have thought it -impossible to make anything good out of such a stupid little -animal. You would have said it was of no use to try to teach a -creature so brutal and superstitious anything about God and heaven, -and a higher life, or even about the decencies of civilized society.</p> - -<p>But a kind lady took him under her care. She taught him to read and -write. She showed him the folly of believing in ghosts, and talking -with the spirits. She told him the story of Jesus, and made him -learn the ten commandments, and the precious words of the Saviour, -and explained to him how God made him, and fed, and clothed, and -kept him, day by day, and that he ought to love Him, and do right -in return for His kindness. She impressed him with the thought that -God is angry with wicked boys and girls every day, and that only<a class="pagenum" name="Page_120" id="Page_120">[120]</a> -the pure in heart, whose lives are good, can be happy on earth, or -go to heaven when they die.</p> - -<p>At first he was stupid and stubborn, and unwilling to learn; but -after a little while his stolid face began to brighten, his dull -eyes sparkled with unusual interest, and he was more and more -attentive, till his coarse, animal features wore an entirely new -expression. One day he came in with a very serious look, and said -in an earnest tone:</p> - -<p>“Mistress, oh me got bad heart! Ask Great Spirit to give me better -heart.”</p> - -<p>He was told to ask for himself; and then the poor little child of -the Great Father went into his own room alone and shut the door, -and kneeled down beside the bed and prayed, oh! so earnestly, that -God would forgive his sins for Jesus’ sake, and take away his -wicked feelings, and show him how to be good. From that moment he -was a changed boy. His bad habits were all laid aside. He ceased -to be stupid and stubborn and inattentive. He told no more lies, -and pilfered no more. His face glowed with kindly feeling, as if a -ray from heaven were sleeping on it. His coarse features lost their -repulsive expression and became rather pleasant to see. I am sure -there was rejoicing in heaven that day over this little stray lamb -from the wilderness; and I do not doubt that when God gathers up -his jewels from the earth the poor Indian boy will be a precious -gem in the Saviour’s crown of glory.</p> - - - -<hr class="full" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> - -<h2>RECEIPTS FOR FEBRUARY, 1883.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<table class="receipts"> -<tr><td class="statehead" colspan="2">MAINE, $261.26.</td></tr> - -<tr> -<td class="sub1">Augusta.

There are no arguments -so convincing as well-known facts. If a man or a woman who has been -suffering for years from an exhausting disease, which no physician -had been able to cure, tries a newly-discovered remedy and is -brought back to health, the fact stands as an unanswerable argument -in favor of that remedy, so far, at least, as this particular case -is concerned. A resort to the same remedy in another case, regarded -as incurable, and with a like result, adds a new and stronger -argument in its favor. Accumulate similar results to the number -of hundreds and thousands, and in the widest range of chronic and -“desperate” diseases and abandoned cases, and you have a weight -of evidence that is irresistible. On this weight of indisputable -evidence we rest the claims of Compound Oxygen.</p> - -<p class="medium">It is frequently urged against this treatment by persons who have -not made themselves acquainted with the <a id="Err2" name="Err2"></a>natural laws governing its -action, that the same agent is administered for all diseases—for -neuralgia or catarrh; for rheumatism or consumption; for heart -disease or bronchitis; that we offer it as a universal specific. In -our <cite>Treatise on Compound Oxygen</cite>, which will be <em>mailed free</em> to -any one who will write to us for it, we have fully explained the -nature and action of this remedy, and shown that it is not specific -to any disease or class of diseases; but that it acts directly upon -the nervous system and vital organs, and thence universally in -the whole body. It gives new force and a more vigorous action to -all the life-centres, thus restoring to nature the dominant power -and healthy action which had been lost. This being the case, no -matter what the disease, or where located, it must be gradually -ameliorated, and, if the central healthy action can be maintained, -finally cured. Every intelligent and unprejudiced person will at -once see that if the law of action which we claim for Compound -Oxygen be the true one, its operation must be universal, and not -local or specific; and that all forms of disease may be reached -by this agent. And the fact that they are reached, and in so -large a number of cases relieved, verifies the theory of cure and -substantiates the claims which are made for this new substance as -<em>being the most remarkable in its action of any therapeutic agent -yet discovered</em>.</p> - -<p class="medium">If we contrast the violence which is so often done to the delicate -organisms of the human body through the administration of drugs, -given to break the force of a disease, and which sometimes -keep the patient lingering for months in slow convalescence, -needing all the while the physician’s care, with the revitalized -condition of compound oxygen patients, the advantage on the side -of the latter, as compared with those treated under most of the -prevailing systems, becomes strikingly apparent. Under the new -treatment, which is by inhalation, there is no weakening of the -tone of the stomach by drugs, and no violent assaults upon any -nerve or fibre in the body, <em>but a gentle and subtly penetrating -influence, reaching to the very centre of all the life forces, and -<a id="Err3" name="Err3"></a>restoring them to a healthier action</em>. The natural result under -this treatment must be that, when a patient recovers he is in a -far better condition to resist the causes which produce disease -than the patient who has had the life forces weakened through drug -medication.</p> - -<p class="medium"><em>As a restorer of vital force</em>, it can be largely shown from the -results obtained during the past twelve years, that <em>Compound -Oxygen is the most efficient agent yet discovered by the medical -profession. Its use by over-worked business and professional men, -and by all who suffer from nervous exhaustion and low vitality, -would save many hundreds of lives every year and give to thousands -more the ability to work without the weariness, exhaustion and -peril which now attend their labors.</em></p> - -<p class="medium">Our large correspondence with patients and health-seekers, -throughout this and other countries, gives evidence of the -increasing confidence which is steadily growing in the public -mind favorable to the Oxygen cure. The living witnesses to its -remarkable efficacy, and the warm advocates of its dispensation -are, as we have said, rapidly increasing. By personal influence -and correspondence, those who have been relieved from distressing -complaints, or cured of diseases which were steadily growing worse -for years, are sending the good news of their recovery to friends -and neighbors, near and remote. Many of these order the Treatment, -and if helped or cured, as rarely fails to be the case, become in -turn the friends and advocates of this new method of cure. So the -knowledge is spreading, and the use of Compound Oxygen growing, -with a rapidity of which few outside of our establishment have any -comprehension.</p> - -<p class="medium">To those who wish to inform themselves in regard to this new -Treatment, we will send, <em>free of cost</em>, our “<cite>Treatise on Compound -Oxygen</cite>,” and our pamphlet, containing over fifty “<i>Unsolicited -Testimonials</i>;” also “<i>Health and Life</i>,” our Quarterly Record of -Cases and Cures, under the Compound Oxygen Treatment, in which -will be found, as reported by patients themselves, <em>and open for -verification, more remarkable results in a single period of three -months than all the medical journals in the United States can show -in a year</em>!</p> - -<p class="medium pp2"><span class="smcap">Depository on Pacific Coast.</span>—H.

Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search -facility: www.gutenberg.org - -This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. - - - -</pre> - -</body> -</html> diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/cover.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 1c732ab..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/cover.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/dictionary.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/dictionary.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index a8ebd9f..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/dictionary.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/estey.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/estey.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index bc9c8f1..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/estey.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/header.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/header.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index df944ec..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/header.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/hut.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/hut.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 3fc89cf..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/hut.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/mandan.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/mandan.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 89b4977..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/mandan.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/masonhamlin.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/masonhamlin.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index b693258..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/masonhamlin.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/muffed.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/muffed.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index efbdbb2..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/muffed.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 771bee6..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/risingsun.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/risingsun.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 8a8b9bc..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/risingsun.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/rumsford.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/rumsford.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 19a8017..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/rumsford.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/santee.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/santee.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index bf02420..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/santee.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/smith.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/smith.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index f01f950..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/smith.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/stars.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/stars.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index d64bc92..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/stars.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/teacherandgirls.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/teacherandgirls.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index fd643e2..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/teacherandgirls.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/60697-h/images/watch.jpg b/old/60697-h/images/watch.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 82dbf04..0000000 --- a/old/60697-h/images/watch.jpg +++ /dev/null |
