CALIFORNIA PUPILS. In Saturday morning's mail we re ceived from Mr. Campbell, the Assist ant Superintendent of the Chemawa Training School a picture of a group of twenty Del Norte County pupils as fol lows: Hank John, Arthur Van Pelt, Willie Norris, Oscar Bowie, Sam John, Andrew Hodge, Nick Mack, James Bowie, Walter Haight, Jesse Wilson, George Wilson, Lawrence Mahatch, Isa bel Bowie, Norah Van Pelt, Delia Nor ris, Josie Williams, Lestie Norris, Viola Brown, Lillie Patton, Lona John. It is an excellent picture and we are pleased to see these children well dressed, well fed and provided for and under a healthy moral -influence. The Indian Training School ai Che mawa gives the children of whole or part Indian blood a better foun dation for the work of life than most of us have had the advantage of enjoying. There is hardly a qual ified child in the county who should not be at Chemawa. We wish the above little ones and young people and the Chemawa School succes- in every sense of the word. .
