Indian School, Chemawa Oregon. <I,Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager 50 Cts per Annum Subscription LOCAL Mr and Mrs. VosBurgh were business visitors in Portland one day last week. Our entire force render thanks to Mr. Ratzburg for a treat of apples with which he very kindly supplied US. Mr. Austin, our director of agriculture, is giving instruction regularly to details from the farm, dairy and garden departments. Mr. Davis made a business trip to Portland last Friday. He went down for the purpose of selecting a shipment of lumber for Sherman Institute—a sister school in California. Mr. Teter is much gratified at the receipt often fine young holstein milch cows as an addition to the school dairy herd, of which he is in charge. The cows were received last Friday. Mr. Ratzburg, who has charge of our truck field and all pertaining thereto, intorms us that we have an abundant supply of vegetables stored—enough to last until new ones grow in the spring. Pretty good! The carpenters have just completed the task of mak ing eight fine workbenches for use in their own shop. James Walters, one of the caipenters, has just finished making a fine tool cupboard for use in the machine shop. Dr. Weston T. Johnson of San Francisco was the speaker at the Protestant church on Sunday morning. Dr. Johnson spent sixteen years in Japan and spoke most interestingly of the economic, industrial and religious conditions of that country. The Y. M. C. A. discussion on Sunday evening centered on the subject of vocation. Forestry was presented by Peter Emmons, mining by Roland Booth, and logging by Harold Masten. A live open house discussion followed these presentations. Raymond Ready, an old-time student and a loyal booster of the school and all that it stands for, paid us a short visit last week. Raymond is a character unique in his field—a combination of scholar, good Samaritan, adventurer, sailor man, printer and many other things, including all the proclivities of a good fel low and a ‘ ‘live wire. ’ ’ He was enroute from Seattle to San Francisco and we were all mighty glad to see him once more. A group of about thirty members of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. enjoyed a delightful meeting on Sun day afternoon in the “Y” room. A delicious supper was served at the close of the hour by the committee in charge. A similar program is planned for next Sun day afternoon for a different group of members. Our orchestra appeared in a program at the Salem Woman’s Club last Friday afternoon when that fine body of ladies entertained the wives of our legislators and other prominent women of the state. Marie La France accompanied the orchestra as vocal soloist and both she and the orchestra were given a splendid re ception, which was another boost for Chemawa. On Monday evening a group of Chemawa people w’ere guests of the Men’s Brotherhood of the Leslie M. E. church in Salem at their regular monthly ban quet. Supt. Lipps made the address of the evening, covering in a very comprehensive way the Indian situation as it is faced today in schools and on reser vations. The girls of the sextet gave a most enjoyable musical program of solos and group numbers. Mr. Lipps, Miss Judd, and Miss Eakin were additional guests. Bandmaster VosBurgh and his bandboys will ap pear in a program in the auditorium next Sunday evening during the usual chapel hour. The members of this favorite musical organization have been work ing hard for some little time in preparing the program to be given on this occasion and we are certain that music lovers have a treat in store for them. This shop has been pleased to print attractive programs which may be mailed home by pupils to parents, guardians, or friends after the program. On Friday evening Bennie Jones, Cyrus Katchia and Leslie Evans went to Salem to assist in a program given at the Y. M. C. A. Mrs. Roy Locknow was in charge of the program on “The Independence of Nations,” at the close of which she and Dr. Locknow invited the boys and Miss Eakin to their home where delicious refreshments were served. The guests es pecially enjoyed seeing the Japanese prints and oriental rugs and curios which Dr. and Mrs. Locknow have collected in their trips to various parts of the world. Our people were afforded both entertainment and an educational feast last Saturday evening by Mr. Herold Evans Kellogg who gave a series of pictures of Indian life and art, and also gave a splendid lec ture in connection with the various features of the screen products. As a whole the school thanks him most heartily for coming here and affording us such an educational treat. Mr. Kellogg is throughly in terested in Indian research work which he is carrying on unassisted, and in which he is succeeding wonder fully well.
