penters. T. J. S.
Since I came to Chemawa I have learn
ed how to handle a handsaw a little
now. Chemawa is certainly the place
for Indian youths. A trade of any kind
can be learned in Chemawa if a student
does it in the right way. C. W.

Excelsiors
A. lively debate was held by the Ex
celsiors on their last meeting. The sub
ject was: "Resol ved, That public schools
should teach agriculture." in? negative
proved beyond a doubt that to tench
agriculture in public schools is out of
the way Not only the reason that there
are institutions which are specially
adopted ;for that purpose, but that pub
lic schools are ritted only "for preparatory
work. It is encouraging to notice the
girls in the Excelsior taking so much'
interest in their society work, that it
ought to make some of the boys brace
up and do likewise?' Please do not be
too lazy in preparing your part of the
program. Every time you do it you
lose your opportunity, and besides what
is the use of- being a member when you
will not do a member's duty?
