To achieve success muscle and bruins are both required. The roses at the Supt's. Cottage and hos." pital are still in bloom.

Dr. Elliott in his talk to us last Sunday said that we all look into a mirror every day and he suggested that we examine our hearts and minds every day. If we would do this we would be sure not to go wrong, but would see the wrong in us and rectify it and do the right. t One of the hardest lessons for the Indian boys and girls to learn is to save their mon ey. It is much easier to earn money than to save it. There is no reason why a boy or girl cannot save one half or one thin! of their earnings, and thus become independ ent pnd prosperous. Where fire you going to live and what are you going to do, are two important questions for every student to decide. If you have not made up your mind yet, it is time you did so, Theti study hard and work faithfully toward that end in order that your life may be a success. ,, Ons would think'that the Chemawa In dian Reservation had been opened up for settlement, and a real Oklahoma boom had struck us. To see scores of wagons hauling brick, gravel, sand, lumber, train loads of cars comiug in daily with building ma terial, and the numerous brick masons, car penters, laborers all rushing their work on the new buildings now in course of con struction, encourages pupils and employes and makes us all feel good and happy. Pugh and Van Patton are pushing the improvements at Chemawa and taking ad vantage of our excellent fall weather. As we go to press the cement foundation of our new Girls' Dornoitory is completed, the first floor joists are in place on the Indus trial building and the brickwork of onr laundry is completed and ready fortheronf, A. big force of brick layers are at work and unless weather conditions prevent the In dustrial building will also soon be ready for the roof. r ' ' We read a pretty good thing the other day in advocating a scrubbing depart ment in our high schools and Colleges. We I'ertainly do need to know hov tn scrub. In order to succeed and make n success of scrubbing we need to use plenty of "elbow grease.'' You need a brush and to get down on your knees and goto wnrk, A good many people we ee fcrubdo so with a mop'. The mop is dipped into the water, the dirt is mopppd around and then more water is used and more dust niiide into mud. A.nd thus it. goes on. Use a brush, and a good rag, Rub the dirt loose with your brush with the aid of the"elliow grease" mentioned above, wipe up the mud with your rag and wring out your rag, change your water often and then yon will get rid of the dirt. This is the first necessary lesson which ought to be given to the Scrubbing Department of Chemawa,
