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.

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.—
