In the “Fifty Years Ago” column of the Morning Oregonian for Feb. 20th appeared the following item: At Carlisle barracks. Pa., a school has been established for Indian children. Mr. Sherman and his engineers are glad to see the approach of spring and warm weather. They spent many uncomfortable hours with frozen oil pipes dur ing the cold weather. Jesse Morgan, who is now a salesman for Frederick & Nelson, a big department store in Seattle, motored down from Seattle to spend the past week-end with his brother, Charles, at Chemawa. The Boys’ clubs of Minot, N. D., are still maintain ing their interest in the Chemawa boys, as evidenced by another box of gifts received recently for the Club room. Two pictures and a table lamp were the con tents of the package. Chas. E. Larsen returned last Thursday from a busi ness trip to the Siletz sub-agency and report?» having had a stormy trip, in fact so stormy that he had to leave his Ford at Siletz. He found that water does not mix very well with gasoline. Mrs. Rosa B. LaFlesche, clerk in the Yakima Indian Agency Office, was a Chemawa visitor over the week end. Mrs. LaFlesh is one of the early Carlisle grad uates and was for some years manager of the Carlisle Outing Department. This was her first visit at Che mawa. On Tuesday afternoon the little girls of the Y. W. C. A. enjoyed a delightful party in the Y room.

During chapel Sunday evening Supt. Lipps ad" dressed the student body on the admirable and many- sided attributes of our great first president, George Washington. In addition the orchestra played a re quest number and the choir contributed an anthem. Any employes, or others needing a middle-size boy or boys to run errands, clean autos, clean rooms, or other work, will find it will be much appreciated if the chance to earn 5 or 10 or 25 cents is given to Walter Chapman, Edward Case, George Isaac, and possibly others who are desirous of earning money to pay their 50 cents initiation fee as Boy Scouts. Just send word to Mr. Bent. The Thursday evening Bible Classes met jointly last week to enjoy a program provided by the Court Street Christian church of Salem. Rev. Mr. Shoe maker, the pastor, and a number of members of his choir conducted the service. An enthusiastic song service was led by the choir director, and Mr. Shoe maker gave a short Bible talk. All enjoyed this pleasant variation of the Thursday evening programs. About thirty students from the Mount Angel Sem inary furnished the music during the Mass at the Catholic chapel Sunday. One of the outstanding members of this group is George Barrett, a former Chemawa student. The sermon was delivered by Father Leo, director of the Seminary. This feature was arranged for by the new pastor at Chemawa, Father Ildefonse, and both the music and sermon were greatly enjoyed and appreciated by the Catholic puj ils. The members of the Y. M. C. A. enjoyed an open house debate Sunday evening on the question, Re solved: That Washington made a greater contribution to his country than Lincoln. Robert Perkins and Fred Sandberg led the opposing sides in what finally became quite a heated argument. An excellent array of his torical facts was presented on both sides. Jim Scott at last poured oil on the troubled waters with a speech in favor of both heroes, and the decision was awarded to the Lincoln supporters. As a service project the Pioneer Club entertained the Friendly Indian Club with a Patriotic program in the Club room last Wednesday evening. Every number of the program, consisting of recitations, stories, and group singing, was well prepared and much enjoyed by the little Friendly Indians, who appeared in all the glory of their feather head dresses. Games followed the program, and then the Pioneer boyserved refreshments to their small guests. Forty seven younger boys attended the program.
