CONSIDER THIS.
Chemawa and its various industrial ad
vantages for the Indian boy anxious to
learn something of the useful arts is like
a pot tilled with cold water placed over
a tire. It first gets warm, then simmers,
then boils, arid finally boils over. That
illustrates the career of the average boy
entering the' Chemawa training' school.
At first it all seems a , blank to him;
he is cold because not in,harmony with'"
his new surroundings. Next he notices
other boys from his home neighborhood
who are warmly interested in learn
ing some useful tredes. They came,
they taw, and were conquered. He al
so wishes to do likewise. He tries and,
to his surprise, succeeds.
And, Oh! it is so easy. Why? Be
cause he is in a school where mechanical
training is a specialty. He becomes ex
pert because his training is from an ex
pert source. A science, a. study, the one
object desirable is to find an easy meth
od for the boy to become expert. ,
