conducted. All teachers and employes,
however, come under the jurisdiction : of
Honorable Francis E. Leupp, Com
missioner of Indian affairs, who, for the
past twenty, years, has niacin a close
study of the Indian. ; v,;.
The program is to be exceptionally
interesting and instructive.. In addition
to demonstration lessons ' with classes of
Indian children, addresses will be made
by prominent speakers and educators;
among the latter rT)r. Draper Com
missioner of Education :for the State of
New York, whose subject will be ''Good
Citizenship and Industrial Training.'
Opportunity will be afforded for Indian
workers, in their various branches, to
hold special meetings. -
An attractive; feature of this meeting
will be the Indian Exhibit from James
town Exposition, comprising specimens
of classroom papers and work don e by
boys and girls in industrial and domes
tic departments. There will also be
specimens of pupils' handwork in
blanket-weaving, basketryV pottery,
