42 THE CHEM AW A AM ERICAN Miss Ella Brewer recently accepted a transfer from the Leech Lake Agency in Minnesota to Yakima, Wash. Her brother, Ernest, has a po sition at Yakima and Miss Ella’s recent transfer will make it pleasant for both of them. Printers are very scarce at Chemawa just now and we are compelled to abbreviate our commencement items and it attending festivities. We wish also to state at this time that the current issue of The American will be the last from our press until the beginning of school in the fall. Just as we were closing the last forms for this issue Hon. E. B. Mer itt, Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs, arrived at Chemawa from Washington, D. C. Our people were, and will be at any time, pleased to welcome him and extend any courtesy within their power. The baccalaureate address was delivered by R. N. Avison, D. D., of First M. E. church of Salem, while the graduation day address was made by Rev. John H. Boyd of Portland. Both addresses were of the best and will long be remembered. Our thanks are due both of these learned gentlemen for their splendid efforts in our behalf during commencement. Supt. Wadsworth takes pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of in vitations to attend the commencement exercises at the following schools and institutions of learning: Chilocco Indian School, May 17-20; Mt.

They came from all sections of the Northwest, very enthusiastic, still loyal to Chemawa, and insisted on being called by their first names. Arrangements were made for them, and every effort made to confer upon them the hospitality of a mother to her children. On the morning of this great day a program was arranged and ren dered in the auditorium in the presence of the student body—quite short but inspiring and encouraging. Our efficient President, Mr. Lovelace, presided over the meeting. Following is the program:
