Child’ ’—will be on th e screen th e auditorium . On
the following -Saturday the regular ‘‘social” for the
students w ill take place.
Past week we were .favored toy a visit from the Glee
Club of W illam ette University. The concert they
gave us was pleasing in every way. T he Glee was
fine, as w e re th e quartets, the-solos, th e magician, the
cornetrst, "the young lady who ,was accompanist and
who g av e aipianp .-solo , and the efforts of all- were
greatly appreciated.
T h e weather man played n s a shabby trick last
.Saturday morning. W e had retired on Friday night
w ith a conviction th at the warm"weatheFwas to’ con­
tinue, but on -arising Saturday m orning ice was in
evidence everywhere and there was .a keen .-north wind
th a t sent the shivers through us. W e were certainly
the victims of misplaced , confidence.
Mr. and >Mrs. T hos. Ross ;of Chemawa wish us to
state th a t they are .appreciative of the .sympathy ex-
tended»them in the recent death.of their son Ralph,
whose funeral occurred jhst a few -days ago. They^
extend thanks to all for kindness -shown them in their
bereavement, f tc e r ta in ly w a s -a ’hard blow for this
^goodly couple and every-tone was-touched by it, and
—after-all there seems-so little th at one,can -do in ,a
¡case -of t this- n atu re.

rep lete w ith good and practical ideas and observations,
.and the .precepts, if followed will prove beneficial for
p h w.hnf,were1 present. In-addition,to.the address A l-
fred Bernard gave B recitation, the g irls’ quartet

STJPT. L IP P S MADE THE ADDRESS
S’u pt. Pipps was urged' bÿ the ’Salem Chamber of
Commerce to deliver-,an address at the regular meeting
of th a t body last Monday Al boon. A ndhe did, most
ably; too. Supt. Pipps is always well worth hearingjon
any subject w hich toempdertakes to discuss/and on the
occasion in „question he g h v e a ta lk of very great and
unusual interest to the audience whom he addressed’.
H is rem arks wsefe confined lgrgély to our “ dear C’he-
mawa” i ri^he’Sa.leui Indian School—-for th a t was w hat
was most urgently desired.
T he speaker touched .upon the early- history of our
great school—its founding in 1880 at Forest Grove,
^Oregon, and of its removal to its present site in 188$.
H e told also ,df the fact that Dr. H . J. M iùthòrn
tu n e ïe of H erb ert Hooyer, president-electof th e ‘U nit­
ed States) was the second superintendent of our school.
H e told of our plant; our large farm; of our students,
whence they came, and th e number of them. Being
instinctively a teacher in the highest sense, Supt.
Pipps was able to present in unmistakable ternis an
appealing word picture o f ’Chemawa as ‘'‘She” is. ! It
was a splendid talk—a tribute to the purposes Of the
government in Indian education—by a gentleman Of
recognized ability who has spent more than '3u years
in ,th e work.
Supt. Pipps took w ith him to theC ham ber o f' Com-
rn e rç e a quartet of girls, M artha Packineau, Melba
A m oux, K atherine Soldier .and Seteria Tw iggs,
who- contributed musical ? numbers
intervals and
-were splendidly -received. TheChem aw am rctoestra
■ was also in attendance and gave a good | account of
itself. W e are tru ly proud’of the event in every way.
