Much de pends upon the extent of indulgence as. to whether or not the results . are bene--' ficiaJ. Like everything else in life, athletics carried to excess will prove detrimental to the general welfare of a student bodr. As athletics are carried on at Ghema wa they are productive of the greatest good. Mind and body act in sympathy -tins has long been a recognized fact. To excel in athletics it is necessary for the athlete to keep himself in the best possible physical condition. A good, strong, clean, healthy body affects the mind. Such a physical condition demands, and produces, a mind of vigor, keenness and cleanliness in keeping with the state of the body. Here in Chemawa there is continuous evidence of these facts. Such a meet as was held one evening recently would con vince any unprejudiced person of the truth of our assertion. The training for the great fifty-mile race last Saturday brings out the best in our boys and in spires all with a desire for a state of per fect physical condition. Brevities The band concerts on Sunday after noons are very much enjoyed. The flower gardens around the school building are looking very nice. We are getting ready some sample lesson in our school room. This issue of the American might prop erly be designated Chemawa's annual race issue. We had a real weird Indian looking porch bench on the teachers' club porch, but even it has become civilized and donned a sober suit of green. Mr. and Mrs Smith took eleven of .the girls oat Walking Monday evening. We all enjoyed ourselves very, much, and we hope that they will take us out again in the near future. H. H. We have a Normal department now which we hope to make very succesful. The... teachers this month are Louise Murray, Belle Dillstrom, Tilly Souvenir Katie Brewer, Calvin Darnell, Loulin Brewer, Margaret Lowry and Vernie Cliffe. One hundred Indian tents are now erected on the camping ground at the Presbyterian Indian mission on Tutuilla, six iniies southeast of Pendleton, Ore., where a great Indian revival is being held by the Umatilla?. Parties of In dians from the Yakima, Nez Perce, Flat head, Blackfoot, Warm Spring and other tribes are arriving and the attendance will reach 1,000, it is believed. Ten Ner Perce ministers will preach to the assem bled tribes and a ten-days'' meeting will be held. A. G.
