The rumor that Superintendent Hall
contemplates leaving Sherman in the
near future seems to be well circulated
through the service. He wishes to state
that as far as he is concerned no such
move is considered. Sherman Bulletin.
Haskell Institute is making arrange
ments to celebrate their quarter-centennial
during commencement week June 1
17, 1909, which will include a reunion
of former employes and pupils, and a
demonstration of .what the school has
done in advancement of the Indian.
Weedy Review. v
When students come to the point of
reaching out and taking upon themselves
extra work for the sake of advancement
they show' the genuine progressive spirit.
In various lines our young people are
taking the initiative, a fact which gives
more encouragement than most anything
else they con Id do. Push on for your
selves, boys and girls. It is the only way
in which you can ever gain leal power
and independence. Jherman Bulletin.
The cooking-clas? gave an exhibit on
the afternoon of April 9, that was
exceedingly tempting. Loaves of whole
some light bread, rolls, dainty salads,
cheese straws, delicious fruit salads, pies,
iucious cream puffs, brown sugary
doughnuts, loaf cake, jelly roll, crisp
cookies, nut cakes, and other good things
';too numerous to mention," were shown.
Upon each plate of samples was the
name of the girl who had prepared them.
Miss Keek's girls certainly learn to cook
delicious dishes and to do many other
useful things. Indian Leader.
Guy Cooley, of the Arapaho tribe, who
has been at Carlisle for rive years and
was a member of the present senior class,
has received an appointment as messen
ger in ,the Office of Indian Affairs at
Washington. Guy has been an officer
in the cadet organization of Small Boys'
quarters, and was deservedly popular at
the school. He has been ambitious to
fit himself for clerical work and his
present employment will doubtless be a
stepping stone to something higher.
Guy will enter one of the business col
leges in Washington and spend his even
ings attaining a thorough business edu
cation. The best wishes of a host of
friends g j with him. The Arrow.
We hear encouraging reports of the
instruction in lace work among the In
dian women of the Walker River Reser
vation, mention of which was made last
month when it had just begun. The
women and girls seem to take a good in
terest in the work and if it is made prof
itable to them there is good reason to be
encouraged to hope that it may occupy
time that otherwise would be devoted to
gambling. The New Indian.
The American takes off its hat to the
Review; the "office devil'' humbly gets
down on his knees, after putting on his
eye-glasses and rereading our issue of
May 8, and begs the pardon of the
Review for crediting in its elsewhere
column'1 several of its articles to the
Native American. But then it should
not feel badly because many good
. uelippable" articles appear in the Native
American as well as in its own columns.

The gardeners have been quite busy
the past few days planting sweet corn,
cabbages, tomatoes, and the third crop
of stringbeans at Sherman proner. The
vegetable gardens look fine, indeed,
much to the credit of Mr. Seholder, who
is in charge of the same. Sherman
Bulletin.
