22 THE CHEM AW A Supt. Wadsworth has just re ceived information to the effect that Congressman Hawely has secured an addition of $6,000 to our fund, for improvements about the plant. This makes a total of $12,000 in this fund, but the additional money is to be allowed for improvements to our water system—new steel tank, etc. This is certtinly good news. On the evenings of December 27 and 28 we enjoyed our first series of moving pictures. The pictures were fine in every way and as a special Christmas feature “ Herod, the New Born K ing,” was given. Another picture was the “ Battle Hymn of the Republic,” by Julia Ward Howe, given in allegorical style. A dramatic series, “ The Old A ctor,” was most interesting. As a close to the series a comic reel was run, entitled “ Alkali Ike and His Bride.” The whole series was immense. We are to have another series within a few days and men tion will be given of same in our next issue. In fact, it is intended to have a picture treat every two weeks from now on. S A II) OF US The December issue of the Che- mawa American, the official publi cation of the Indian training school at Chemawa, is just off the press. The little magazine is printed by Indian apprentices and presents a neat and tasteful appearance. It is bound in a two-toned blue cover and contains much interesting i wad ing matter, including “ Self-Confi AM ERICAN dence, an Asset for Success,” “ Protect the B irds,” “ Indian Leg ends,” Unveiling of the Monument of “ Chief Seattle.” The Chemawa (O re.) American has become a monthly, and the is sues so far to hand suggest that Superintendent Wadsworth intends to make things lively for The Chi- locco School Journal in the m atter of paper, display and illustrations, to say nothing of bright, fresh In dian matter and color work.—The Indian Friend, New York, N. Y. There are short articles from the different departments of the school, timely editorials and personal men tions, illustrated with reproductions from photographs and sketches. The publication reflects much credit upon H. E. Wadsworth, sup erintendent of the school, who is the editor, and upon the other teach ers and pupils who contributed to i t —The Oregon Daily Journal, Portland. Oregon. This year The Chemawa Amer ican, a paper printed as well as published by students of the Salem Indian Training School, has been changed from a weekly to a m onth ly paper, and we are sure if our students once read the unique pa per, they would be more than pleased. The magazine with its stories, its splendid photographs and drawings, its accounts of bands, glee clubs, domestic science classes and work shops, tells of the big farm where practical education is taught to Indian boys and girls.— The Eh Kah Nam, Walla Walla, Wash.
