The first article in this issue of the
American is worth reading. It shows
that all people are equal in the sight of
the president, provided they are respect
able citizens, no matter what their race
or nationality. It also proves that any
of our Indian boys and girls can have
access to the first man of the land, should
the opportunity present itself, and that
they will be greeted with kindness and
courtesy.
The same characteristics are found in
the boys and girls of Chemawa that are
in evidence elsewhere. Some are good
students and apply themselves con
scientiously to industrial work, while
others are content to drift along in any
sort of way. The good student and in
dustrial worker will attract attention
anywhere and everywhere and receive
the reward which is his due, while no
body will have a place for the drone.
Bear this in mind, boys and girls, and
fit yourselves for a life which will dis
tinguish you for ability and moral fitness.

, Get Busy
Don't was-te your time,
Don't waste another's.
In the hustle
Don't get dizzy.
If not for what you want on earth,
For others' sake
Get Busy.

"Most of my customers," remarked the
grocer who had been out trying to collect
some bills, "remind me of a pair of
trousers sent to the tailor."
"How so?" inquired the cashier.
"Because they are pressed for money."
