A- A (wood, of Htveralde, t'al., chairman of the committee on Indian welfare of (h.. utpcral Federation of Women's clubs, said before (he fedi ration's bieiinul convention iu 6iton here- "An economic survey should bo innde at each reservation." urged .Mrs. At wood, "with n manful con imlerattoa of Mm individual needs.

She looks for ward to the time when the reservation-' schools shall be manned by trained teachers who vill have contact with the bonus or the children." Alia. Atwood traced the efforts of her committee to aid In com batiliif; disease among the Indians. Discussing alleged Injustice to them, she referred to the order of Indian Comumsioner Hurk prohibiiiiiK cortain Indian rellgioun dances and ceremonials. "During the latter part of Ap ril," (he speaker said. "Commis sioner Hurko came out to (lie pu ebloes and demanded that the In dian boys who had bean tuken out of itrhool tor a few days of re liglous iuslructlon be returned Im mediately and Hint it should not occur again. H" culled tho Indiana half animal:;' and would not shake hand.i with ihtiii. "The ordinary person does not rentlzo that the Indian's religion In a part of every act of bin life, lit h a Paul heist and feels that Ood la In everything. To take away from him his religion In ab solutely to destroy ull the nobler virtues in him, and In the. light of the fact that the constitution of the I flitted Slates guarantees re ligiouti liberty, the treaty of Guu delope Hidalgo asserted that none of (heir ceremonies could be In terfered with, uud that the state enabling art contained the same assurance, ;t seems impossible to thing that the American people would stand by uud see an injus tice perpetrated. ''Wo cannot legislate morals In to anybody; that comes only through u long process of educa tion und evoluflon. Hince the gov. ernment does not interfere with the dances of the white people, even when conducted as a part of religious ceremony t one cannot imte understand why our Indians should have their inner, precious life destroyed." ,G. 0.
