SCHOOL HAS OPENED. Once again school has started at Chemawa The future looks bright, in deed, and instructors and pupils should feel encouraged by the outlook. Let us all determine, each for himself, to make this a banner year in the history of the institution. By each one doing his best such a result will easily be possible. A fortunate thing this year is that there is noi a single change in the aca demic faculty. This is a good thing for the pupils, and they should be thankful that such is the case and resolve to prof it accordingly. Many new pupils have arrived at Chemawa recently and we bespeak the older students to meet them on common grounds and extend them such a wel come as shall make the new-comers feel at home. In many cases there must be some homesickness expected, and a cheery word or kindly deed will gladden the heart of the newly-arrived stranger. It will cost nothing to try this suppose we do so? Moreover, the new pupils will do better work in sohool and on the various industrial details if made to fPei at home. The last school year was most profit, able in every way, but we can we will raise our standard this year. Youth is, and should be, light-hearted, but there must be some thought, given the future, for there will come a time when the youth of today must deal with the responsibilities of life and the world. The present is the time to prepare for those responsibilities which inevitably must come. In rnak ing our preparations now we will find our burdens of the future lighter. Let us suggest that each pupil cherish an ideal which has to with his or h?r future. Have an aim and object in life ; picture some worthy thing in your mind regarding yourself in the future; let your aim be high. Once having deter mined to achieve something worth while in life allow nothing to change your pur pose. Stand for your ideals, for moral and physical perfection and righeous ness. "Tie your wagon to a star." CONSIDER THIS. The Indian boy or girl who may be considering the matter of whether or not to come to Chemawa should be gov erned by his or her reason. It is cer tainly reasonable to presume that an ed ucation is a necessity it one would have success in life and its multitudinous af fairs. An education is a necessity today, but each year which passes will see it more and more a necessity as a mean? toward success To the "considering" youth we point out the fact that aside from securing a good education at Chemawa, there is the greatest of opporturii'ies for indus trial delevopment. Chemawa is a bee hive of industry. Come here and get
