There may be some who may tell you that those who advise you to get a good Industrial Education arenotyour friends. Those who have given the subject close study are the best friends the Indian ever had. Among these are our Superintendent of Indian Schools, the Honorable Com missioner of Indian Affairs, and our Presi dent all of whom are strong friends of In dustrial Education, and thare so from their personal knowledge of the Indian and his needs. They are your friends. Think twice before you spesk once is pretty good, but it is bftter sometimes to even then do some more thinking. Never say "Potter", "Campbell", "Brew er", but remember that all gentlemen have handles" to the'r names and the gentle manly and polite way to talk is to eay "Mr. Potter", "Mr. Campbell", "Mr Brewer" or whomever you may be talking about, Be polite and gentlemanly, if you wish to be considered as a gentleman yourself. The friends of the Indians who are in favor of an Industrial Education for him do not for a moment think that the Indian is not capable of a higher, literary Educa tion. They feel that like the white man, if he wants a higher education he should earn it himself. If he has it in him, he will work his way up in life bv the same methods as his white brothers. Chemawa believes in matin? carpenters, harnessmakers, blacksmiths, tailors, cooks, dressmakers etc., and in doing this we, in eidentailv, do carpenters' work, toake har ness, watrons, clothing and drespes, We do r.ot gauge a young man's or wo men's success at their trude by the amount of work they turn out, but rather by what they have learned and their abil ity to turn out first class work. This past week all over Europe and the j United States, even as far South as Rome and Galveston the people have been suffer- I ing from blizzards and intense cold. Whi'e here in the Willamette Valley we still ! have a few ropes on onr bushes and f green grass. Just like during Summer j while the whole world was Svvel teringand trying to endure the severe heat, we weie having such pleasant and moderate weath- er. We may not have all the comfort! ! of life, but we do have moderate weather the year around. We may catch some cold weather during the Winter and then we may not, with the chance in favor of not having it.
