Lillie Stanger is working in the mess

work very well.
Mr. Bewley and the engineers have in
stalled the motor in the printing office and
soon we will have no more "kicking" by
the printer boys. . ,
Mrs. Theisz informs us that the girls
are preparing the rags for between three
and four hundred more yards of carpet
and rugs for Chemawa.
The seeing room girls are talking of
having a party. But Miss Brown says
that they will have to finish all the skirts
and dresses before they can give one.
Mr. Huldon and his boys have added
many improvements to the printing of
fice. They are now making the brackets
for the shaft to connect up the motor
with the presses. ,
The work on the boys' gymnasium is
progressing. The carpenters are now
getting the truss ready from which to
suspend the gallery and support the roof
so as to have a clear floor of 60 x 100 ft.
Mr. Bowen and the industrial boys
. have set out more than 2000 rose slips
so as to be ready next spring to extend
rose avenue. The green hous shows an
improved condition since Mr. Bowen and
his industrial boys have taken hold of it.
The carpenter apprentices are getting
ready the window lights for the printing
office. The west and south and north
sides of the office will be a perfect bank
of lights. This will overcome the dark

Mr. En right's Lecture
On Monday evening Mr. Enright, the
head of Chemawa's tailoring depart
ment delivered a very interesting and in
structive lecture to the student body.
In the short time allotted him he cover
ed a great deal of ground. He had
charts showing the method of pattern
making, but owing to the students not
.being able to see the fine lines he had to
abandon that part of his lecture.
He then demonstrated how it was pos
sible for a tailor to make a pattern for a
suit of clothes without seeing the man
vho was to wear the clothing. . He told
that all that a competent tailor needed
to know was that the man vvas a normal
man, and to have his weight and height,
and then bv well known rules and stat
ed principles the pattern could be made.
He showed how many advantages our
Indian pupils in our tailoring depart
ment have over the ordinary white boy
and all in all it was an instructive lee
iure, more instructive and entertaining
than this account of it.
If the industrial workers of Chemawa
had been present on Monday evening to
hear their co-worker, Mr. Enright of the
tailoring department deliver a lecture to
the student body on tailoring, they would
not only have spent an instructiAe but
entertaining evening. '
