SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 23. The
congress of Indian educators that began
today at the auditorium of the exposi
tion furnishes the most interesting ex
hibit now on the world's Fairground.
It is-', nominally a teachers' institution
with instructors present from nearly all
of the 300 Government Indian schools,
but the Indian children and not the
addresses draw the crowds. From a doz
en tribes have come boys and girls who
are demonstrating by their handiwork
their adaptibility to civilization, and
what is even more interesting to visitors,
showing that the wonderful f arts and
crafts of the aborigines are being per
petuated. Navajo and Mokis are ' weaving their
beautiful blankets and members of the
Pacific Northwest ' tribes are plaiting
the ornamental baskets -that are sought
by collectors of all parts of the world.
Secretary of the Interior Ballingeris
taking a personal interest in the insti
tute and during its progress, the Secre
tary and Mrs. Ballanger, and invited
guests will eat adinnei- prepared, by the
girls of the Chemawa j Oregon Indian
school, not cooked with hot stones, but
in the latest fashion. ' '- ? ' '
A dramatic contrast to the hew In
dian is afforded by a family of the most
primitive American Indians now living,
from the Tulalip, Wash., Reservation,
who have built a hut 'of mats and rushes,
make fire by rubbing sticks and grind
co'rn between stones. 1
Miss Estelle Reel, general superinten
dent of Indian schools, is in charge of the
institute Portland Evening Telegram.
