Snake and Chippeway tribes. A class
of nineteen graduated last June, and a
much larger one will complete the course
at the end of the preflent school year.
The influence these graduates must ex
ert upon their friends and relatives on
their return to their former homes, can
not but be highly beneficial in its effect
upon the relations between the two
races. Were the way paved for the bet
ter working of this influence, bythe dis
persion of the tribal congregations and
location of the various families upon
separate tracts of land, then those en
gaged in the noble work of bringing this
race into the light of civilization, would
feel that their labors were not in vain.
