t'HE OH EM AW A AMERICAN be an Indian school, I want it to be a first class one, and to. turn out the sort of young men and young women who can do what the founder of the institu tion originally intended to have them do --find a living in the East. The best way, as it seemed to me, was to take up and make important those studies which wpuld- enable the young people to bring something really valuable to a near by market; and the industrial arts, as the . State, of Pennsylvania has shown by its liberal policy of trade education, . are those y hich.appeal most strongly to the . Eastern employer and to the, Eastern consumer. , In short, instead of letting Carlisle School drift, 1 wanted it to have a set tled and definite- policy. I do not believe 'that such an enterprise can succeed on any different basis. The other non-reservation schools which are worth keep ing at all, and whose life will probably be continued for the course of some years more,; will be organized on a similar principle, with a view to making them contribute to the material interests of their pupils instead of supplying a mere theoretical education. , Mr. Friedman is not only a very com petent, instructor and an enthusiast in his own line, but he is a man of mental breadth and good breeding, with a pro pensity" for truth-telling which I think will promote a wholesome atmosphere in the student body. I enjoyed very much my brief visit to Carlisle this year,( and shall bear with me for a long time the memory of the cordial greeting given me and the hos pitalities of the school, as well as the impression of a pleasant feeling and live interest among some of the more im portant workers there. With all good wishes, I am, Sincerely yours, Francis E. Leupp, Commissioner. Arrow. AN ENJOYABLE EVENING. r The engineers and: plumbers joined forces and entertained in chapel Tuesday evening.
