SCENES, TALKS AND CONCERT.
Friday evening in the chapel Supt.
Chalcraft showed a collection of stereop
ticon views. Most of the views were
familiar scenes of Chemawa. He show
ed several pictures from the Grand
Canyon and the Garden of the Gods in
Colorado, and a number of Alaskan
scenes. The dwellings of the Pueblo
Indians in New Mexico were very inter
esting. Michel Wilson gave a grapho
phone concert while the views were
shown.
When the picture cf the new hospital
was shown Asst. Supt. Campbell spoke
of the building as a fine structure, but
one to keep out of. He told in a few
words how to prevent many of the di
seases which result from the climatic
conditions at this time of the year. He
said that self-preservation is the law of
health. Be a master in the art of tak
ing care of yourself and you need never
"enter the hospital.
Supt. Chalcraft added a few remarks
in closing. He said,thereis less sickness
at Chemawa this year than ever in the
history of the institution. He recom
mended the switch remedy as a cure.
Many persons who think " their sight
perfect have a greater visual power in
one eye than in the other. With regard
to the respective power of the right and
left eye, a well-known optician finds
that a person occupied in writing all
day has as a rule, stronger vision in the
left. Writing with the right hand and his
left arm resting on the table, his left eye
is nearer to his work, and its vision is
more concentrated. This expert says
that our race will never become so short
sighted as the German while football,
cricket, tennis, hockey, etc., are encour
aged in our public schools.
