Every purchase of a large Pic tro's Pizza entitles you to two cer tificates and each medium Pictro's Piza entitles you to one certificate. We need nearly 4,600 certificates for a classroom computer but with your help, we can do it. The old days Warm Springs Elementary News noted- Some Children are pre-conditioned to be underachieves before they ever enter a school. The teach ers and parents of these children often spend years of frustration trying to get these youngsters to achieve up to their potential, only to face discouragement and disap pointment as they watch bright children who seem to want to achieve, but just can't seem to put oui the effort necessary for success. It is almost as if these children have learned to avoid the very thing that they need in order to be successful learners. It is so easy to blame the school. However, there are many learning related problems .that do not start in the school and cannot be cured by having more discipline, more understanding teachers or more time spent teaching the basics. Consider the following situation in which one parent had to struggle for everything she got as a young ster. As an adult, she is dedicated to making sure her child does not have to experience the same pain. At the same time, her husband believes that it is best for children to earn what they get. This gives us the potential for a family pattern that could lead to their child becom ing an underachiever. The child in this family soon learns how to get what is wanted. "Daddy, I need some more money. My allowance ran out." Father will answer, "That's sad. You'll have to wait until Saturday for your regu lar allowance." The youngster goes to Mother with, "Mom, look how mean Daddy is!" The mother, who is dedicated to making sure the child experien ces no pain, then finds herself say ing, "Now, now. Don't worrv. Daddy's just tired and doesn't understand. I'll get you some money, but be sure you don't tell Daddy." Mother is hoping to show that she is a loving friend. The sad truth is that the foundation for undera chievement has just been laid. Yes, the child may see Mother as a lov ing but a devastating lesson has just been learned. You get what you want through manipulation, not through effort. This attitude mav be firmly in place by the time the child goes to school. You can guess what the youngster will think when the teacher says, "Here is some school work to do. It will take some effort." This poor child will think, "No! Effort is not the way you get what you want. There is an easier way.

It will not be long before this student tries to defend poor grades by saying, "Look how mean the teacher is. She just doesn't under stand!" This will seem so sincere that before long we will find that the student has manipulated both parents into joining with himher against the school and the teacher. The child now has more power than either the parent or the teacher. It is not unusual for parents in this situation to be confused, blam ing the school, then blaming the child, then blaming themselves; all with no success in getting the child to live up to his her potential. This often includes having the child bring home daily reports, more homework, rewards, punishment, school conferences and labels such as "learning disabled" and the spe cial education classes to explain away the problem. None of these will work because they are not the causes for this youngster's confusion. The prob lem will be solved when the parents discover that they will need to have a consistent set of expectations for the child, "We both want the best for you and we both know that it will come from effort, not from manipulating one of us against the other."

It was at this meeting that the Indians finally had the opportunity to speak. The Indians eloquently stated their position. Gen. Palmer: Well my Brothers. We have met again in council today The Wascocs have not yet come but they will be here. We need not wait for them. I expect to hear you speak this morning. I have shown you my heart. Now I want to know your heart. Let your Chiefs speak for you and we ll listen to it. I am in hopes you have come with one heart. 1 want all to be together today. I will hear you speak. Sim-tus-tus: I wish to talk now. The Chief talks right. I take his words my heart is glad to hear you speak and all my people he speaks right and straight and I am glad. Our hearts is soft, not so hard as it was. They have asked for our land sometime ago. Now, I have given my word and will stick to it. It is true I think about what he has said: the reason that you have told him to think of words. M. Doffa knows my country, and am going to talk of it. What he talk of. I know what I am talking aoubt for myself and people. The De Chutes have sustained us in fish. The falls where we catch the fish, we would like to reserve it. You have seen our country where we get our roots, this is the country that I spoke about wish to keep the section ot country beyond the Tigh about the mutton Mountain and between the Mutton and Jefferson Mountains, there we gather our berries, about Jefferson Mountain there lies the big road leading to our berry ground, about the Big Branch of Dc Chutes. We wish also to reserve the country that lies south of Tama-la-we River to the wagon road, called the middle road to Oregon; then following the stream down to De-Chutes, then down to the Dc Chutes f alls. Locks-quissa: I have but a few words to say. You know the piece of land that we ask to keep. You cn see the quantity of land that Sim-tus-tus asked for. (here he was interrupted by Kuckup) he sat down. Kuckup said: They are not here to keep you waiting as long as the Cayuses and others did on the council. I believe your words. It is for our good that you wish to place us on a place. We will go and live where you have told us to go. I think that we will be well there, and will not be sorry for it. It is good that you placed us there, so that we would not be in the middle of a settlement. We do not wish to have our Garden joining to the white man's. I wish now to do as you have said, to live aside from the whites. We do think that it would do us any harm that you have placed us there, (here are our blankets) who has seen them first, since the whites came to us, when we first saw their things. The piece of ground that you wish us to stay on. It appears that you arc showing me the things that I was talking about, when our children learn to read and write. It will be the same as bringing them to light, as it were, we have been asleep, and just waked up, when we could read and write. I have spoken what I have to say. What you have said my ears were opened, I have heard them. I do not wish to speak longer. I have heard you speak; sat down. Alexsee: I wish to speak as Sim-tus-tus has done. I do not wish to throw the Chiefs words away. I do not wish to tire him. I am willing to give my word and land. Our fishing place on the Columbia we wish to keep. The country that you have shown us we are glad to live on it. That is all 1 have to say. I only talk of the fishing grounds. Gen. Palmer: We have now heard the hearts of the Tish and Tenino people. Now we wish to know the hearts of the Wascoes and Lower De Chutes. Sim-tus-tus came forward and signed the Treaty, and followed by his sub-chiefs. Stocketly: I like a piece of my land as my heart. I have already given a! piece of my land, the others have already given a part of their country. 1 also think it is good tor me to do tne same. My neart is l win not spea about the Reservation you speak of. I wish to have a piece of land on the east side of the De Chutes River that is all I have to say. 1 wish to have piece of land on the spot I spoke of, the rest you can have. My heart is to choose this piece ot ground that 1 speak ot irom the Columbia to the Blue Mountains, also my fishing place of Columbia De Chutes rails This is all I have to say. Iso says: This land belongs to you, my land that I had, my garden yours. I also wish to reserve the piece of land that Stocketly spoke of, also the fisheries. That is all I have to say. G. Palmer said: I wish to reply to Stocketly and Iso. Poyet said: I have a few words to say. Our Chief has spoken, Our Head Chief. His word is our word, although we speak after him, but his word is ours. All the places our Chiefs have mentioned is also our hearts. Gen. Palmer said: Sometime ago Gov. Gains and Dr. Dart mad Treaties. There as many different bands then, like this council, when they made a treaty they gave Clackamas, the Yam Bill, the Tualatin, the Lackamute, and the aentosma each a reservation, they made a treaty with these Indians, they sent this trety to the President, when he saw there reservations. Here, there and all over. Amongst the whites he said not, it is not good. When he can the whites were allowed to live all around those reservaitons, he said they could not have schools, mills & c. When he saw this paper he said it is not good. You stand aside. Then he wrote to me. He directed me to make a treaty with all the peole. H directed me not make a reservation here, there, and all over, and if I . were to make a trety with those people and allow them to live here, there and all over, when he sees the paper he would say no, that is the reason that I cannot permit these people to have so many reser vations. I would like to accommodate these people. But the President will not allow them to live with the whites, because the red and white man cannot agree have made a treaty with all these people in the Willamette, Clackamas and c. they have all agreed to live on one reservation, the Walla Wallas Cavuses and Umatillas, they have all agreed to live on one reservation the reservation that I have made for them is not as large as this, I havd made for you. We cannot allow them to have a reservation across the Deschutes. But we have agreed on the paper to allow them to fish on their old fishing ground. When they are through with their fishing season then they can go home and say, this is my home! And it is for this reason I wish to secure them a home. Our Lhiet cannot build mills ana houses & c. all over the county. But,he can build them on the reservation and accommodate all the people. 1 hey can travel all over the country over these roads as usual they can fish, hunt, and gather roots and berries as formerly. And it will be good for them to say I have a home where no white man can come and trouble me. I know where there is al better country, I would say, well, let that be the reservation. But I do nod know of any better. If this paper is signed as it is now, it your people, tha Wascoes, Tigh and Upper Deschutes would rather have another reser vation. The Wascoes would select three men the Stocketly's people alsq three men and Tigh people also three men. These nine men would gd with me or my agent to see the country, before these people go to thd reservation, or before the mills and improvements have commenced. Id we could find a place any better than this where there are no whites and can agree with us, I shall say yes it is good. This shall be your homq instead of the one named in the Treaty. What 1 want is to get you a good home.
