M It. EN RIGHT'S LECTURE.
On Monday evening Mr. Enright gave '
the pupils an excellent talk. He refer
red to the inspiration an employe gets
at Chemawaand illustrated and pointed
out the advantages which an Indian boy
had over the ordinary white apprentice.
He referred to the inspiration that he
got from the talks of Rev. Mr. Conner,
Kash Kash and Dr. Montezuma, all
full blooded Indians who had addressed
the student body this term. He referred
to Mr. Conner's text of "Be ye not wea
ry of well doing," and -how the Indian
boys can obtain wisdom and strength to
provide for their daily needs. He refer
red to the text of Dr. Montezuma where
he compared the beliefs and customs of
his people with that of the white man
and how through our schools and the
mechanical departments, the Indian
boy of an up-to-date disposition can ob
tain wisdom and strength through edu
cation and proper living and not from
superstitious beliefs.
A bov to thoroughly learn the tailor
trade must know how to cut. In Che
mawa a boy learns the trade from begin
ning to the end. He stated . that he
knew a man in a neighboring city who
could not rut as well as a number of the
boys in our shop and yet he paid the ex
penses of a trip back to New York which
cost him $100.00 railroad fare; $100.00
tuition, in addition to his board for a six
weeks course.
Here the Indian boys have the advan
age of this man without the expenditure
of a single penny. He referred to the
many successes of young men who have
left the shop and who are now out. in
life earning their livelihood by following
the trade that they learned at Chemawa.
The lecture was listened so attentively
by the student body and was one of the
best industrial lectures that has been de
livered. FOOTBALL NOTES.

The picture which we print this 'week
is Chemawa's 1 Hospital corps, ' showing
the doctor and the trained nurse and
the girl nurse apprentices. These girls
have the opportunity of getting a thor
ough course in nursing. We regret ex
ceedingly to have lost Dr. Lieurancethis
week, who has been transferred to Crow
Agencv, but what is Crow's gain is Che
mawa's loss; Dr Fisher, of Salem, is
temporarily filling the place until Dr.
Lieurance's successor arrives. ,
