The CHEMAWA AMERICAN
FOLLOWING IN MOTHER’S FOOTSTEPS
The Chester County Hospital has been in existence
long enough to have made a history in some very inter­
esting lines. In the year 1901, Miss Daisy Wasson of
Oregon, entered the Training School as a pupil nurse.
Miss Elizabeth Edge of Downingtown, wasrinterested
in her and had asked that she be admitted. She had
been an inmate of Miss Edge’s family for some time,
and her employer had observed in her intelligence, ear­
nestness, industry, and those traits of character and
disposition that go to make a nurse. She had received
her education in part at the Indian Training School
at Carlisle, Pa., having been placed there by the United
States government, as she was an American Indian.
She has the features and the figure of her aboriginal an­
cestors—tall and straight, and had the dignified bear­
ing that characterizes the best specimens of her race.
She made a fine record at the school, graduated in
1904, and went west. She married and became Daisy
Codding. Very little was known of her subsequent life
until this summer when Miss Gooden received from
her an application to have her daughter, Elizabeth,
admitted to our training school as a pupil. She has
evidently remained loyal to her alma mater and now
wishes to send her daughter three thousand miles to
be trained at the same school.—H ospital N ews ,

CARROLL ASSISTANT SU PERIN TEN D EN T
Hugh D. Carroll has been transferred from Chemawa
school, Oregon, to Phoenix school as Assistant super­
intendent with the special duties of Principal. His
work will include the supervision of all instruction both
academic and industrial. Mr. Carroll is a graduate of
the university of Arkansas and has taken postgrad­
uate work at Columbia University and elsewhere.
After some five years of public school teaching and
supervision in Colorado he was for over two years con­
nected with Chemawa school. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll
are welcomed on the school campus and admitted to
full fellowship as we believe they already have the faith
which qualifies them for effective service. The
Carrolls occupy the cottage recently vacated by the
Whit wells.—N ative A merican .
Mr. and Mrs. Carroll have many friends in Chema­
wa who wish them well in their new field.
Ten worthy and industrious students will make a
‘ ‘good school, ’ ’ which is more than 10,000 bad students
can do. Did you ever look at it in that light? The
more bad students there may be at any school the
‘ ‘ worse’ ’ the school. On the other hand, the more good
pupils there are in a school the “ better” the school.
The same rule holds good unto the limits of the globe.
Enlist in the columns of the tried and true. Come to
think of it, the status of the teacher also has quite a
bit to do with whether the school be good or bad.
Usually at this time our football squad is just start­
ing to assemble but this year we have already played
our first game. We are likely to do the same next
fall as tentative arrangments are already made to meet
Washington on approximately the same date.
Two full teams were taken to Portland last Saturday
to play Washington high and all but one took a hand
in holding the husky hatchet men to a 6 to 0 score.
Washington, rated high in the Portland Intercollegiate
League, was expected to win by a big margin as they
had an advantage in weight between 15 and 20 pounds
per man as well as many experienced lettermen. Ou
the other hand our team is unusually light and not a
regular from last year’s team among those present.
But nerve, enthusiasm, determination and team spirit
coupled with pep, punch, and the ball-hound spirit
that our entire squad put into the game made it possi­
ble to hold the much heavier and more seasoned Port­
land organization to a low score. Erom the time our
boys took the field to limber up till they left when the
game was over they moved about with an air that
meant business. If they can hold their poise and
develop a high grade of team spirit and loyalty and
and are willing to continue to put forth the hard
work and energy that is so essential, this year’s team
should go a long way up the ladder. Their tackling,
which was fierce and deadly, was a sight to see and
won for them many fine comments. In late years
tackling has become almost a lost art because there are
so many things to do to round a team into shape that
the time required cannot be given to perfect it. But our
boys love it and when they tackled a man last Satur­
day he was tackled and stayed put.
Dowd Franklin was our shining light, in the backfield. Al­
ternating at half and fullback he drove through the line for
several long gains and on two occasions all but got away. Dowd
weighs but 134 pounds but he hits like a ton of brick. He
also did our punting and all were good and well placed. Buck
Smith, quarterback, handled the team with plenty of good
judgment in the selection of his plays and made several nice
runs from a fake punt formation. Benedict Hart, a speedy
boy from Pipestone, registered a few thrills himself. Once Ben
finds himself out in the open he is going to be hard to catch.
Wallace Hpsie, also from the Pipestone school, is fast. We
are hopeful of seeing him get away before many games are
played.
With the return of Leonard Vivette our wings have been
strengthened. Last year Leonard played end. He has taken
on considerable size during the summer and should be ready
for battle. Joe Alexander should have been here long before
now and also William DePoe. Both of them play end. With
those three and the men on hand the end posts should be well
taken care of.
Those who made the trip to Portland are as follows: Ends,
George Little Light, Wallace Bear, Ferdinand Thomas; tackles,
James McKay (captain), William Jones, Harry Archambeau;
guards, Isaac Curley, Benny Charley, George Thompson, David
Little Swallow, Howard Churchill; center, Alonzo Hoover;
quarterback, Tulian Smith, Hans Jack; halfback, Benedict
Hart, Wallace Hosie, Roy Meachem, Alex Gouley; fullback,
Dowd Franklin, George McGriff, ‘‘Bird Legs” Masten, offi­
cial trainer, and Jesse Prettyman, assistant coach, also accom­
panied the team.
