LEXINGTON
(Continued from First Page)
The Increase in population and in
crease in the sheep and goat herds
has produced a very serious prob
lem In this country which I'll tell
of later.
Until a year or so ago there were
only the boarding schools to take
care of the Navajo children. Un
der the present plan there have
been many day school plants established-over
the reservation to care
for the lower grade children. This
entire country is of desolate nature
and one can hardly realize that
people eould live here. Surely no
white family could exist long
where many of these Navajo peo
ple do. Before I tell you of our
school, I'll tell you a few interest
ing things about these people.
They ,are nomadic, going from
place to place wherever water and
grass can be found for their herds.
They have always reckoned their
wealth by their sheep, goats and
native jewelry. When Uncle Sam
asked them to lessen their herds it
was a severe blow to them. They
cannot understand just why they
should do so. When a girl marries
she brings her wealth with her and
it always remains hers If at any
time she wishes a divorce all she
has to do is set the man's saddle
outside the door when he is away.
He will not enter the home again.
The soni-in-law must never look
upon his mother-in-law's face; to
do so is very bad luck. They prac
tice all sorts of weird dances and
pow-wows for the sick or for other
reasons. They have their harvest
and thanksgiving dances. In case
of sickness a medicine man is call
ed who chants and sings, often does
the sand-painting chant to try to
cure the sick. If there is a death,
many times the entire hogan
(house) is burned. Nowdays many
of the Navajos move the sick to an
empty hogan and then if death oc
curs, burns the hogan. These peo
ple, in view of the fact that water
is very scarce, are not as dirty as
one would Imagine. Their ancient
way of bathing was by means of
the " sweat-house," a small hogan
in which hot rocks are placed. The
patient stays in company with the
hot rocks until he perspires suf
ficiently to wash his body. Sick
ness is common among these peo
ple but not as prevalent as among
the village Indians. The average
family is 5, although there are
many larger families. They all live
in one room together and in the
winter and spring all the baby
lambs are taken in also. The wo
men weave rugs and the men make
jewelry, using the native stones
such as petrified wood and blue
turquoise.
The Navajos are sun worshipers,
they eat nothing before breakfast.
They hold dances for prayer for
rain. All hogans must face the east
in honor of the sun. I want to tell
you about their attitude toward
twins. Twins are unwelcome be
cause since the children come in
twos it is the sign that the world
is coming to an end and a certain
number of children must be born
before that time so the Gods are
sending them in twos to hurry up
the ending.
The customs of the Pueblo In
dians are different from those of
the Navajos. They are self-governing,
more advanced In many ways,
happier, and each tribe has a dif
ferent language, habits, legends,
religions, etc. The Catholic peo
ple have a strong hold in these vil
lages although there are many prot
estants among them. All revert
more or less to their ancient wor
ship of nature. These Pueblo In
dians have gardens, fields of corn,
chickens and many babies. The
women make beautiful pottery from
which they eke out a small living.
I forgot to tell you that the Nav
ajos hold many animals sacred and
will not kill them. The bear is very
sacred. They are superstitious of
the fish or chicken and will eat
neither of them. The coyote is
bad luck. The meanest thing you
can call a Navajo is Muke, the Nav
ajo word for coyote.
Now back to our school work. It
Is the purpose of the government
in its new plan to give the boys
and girls such work as will better
fit them to be better citizens in their
own section of the country, not to
compete with white men in white
men's industries. In view of this,
the Burke Vocational school has a
program suited particularly to tho
Navajo. It consists of schoolroom
work featuring the three R's, shop
work based on needs of the reser
vation, such as simple hogan fur
niture, wagon building, sheep rais
ing, tanning hides, blacksmithing,
auto mechanics, construction of
simple houses, some dairying, bak
ing, band and orchestra, physical
education, silver smithing for the
boys. The girls are taught nurs
ing, homemaking, sewing, cooking,
laundry, weaving, -child-care, etc.,
with great stress on health for both
There are 40 employees to carry out
this program and the work takes
many more than 8 hours to give
these children all the care and at
tention they need. However, they
are quick to learn, obedient, and
very lovable when you learn to
know them.
After all, much credit must be
given these desert people, for un
doubtedly they have thrived and
lived under circumstances under
which white people could not have
existed. We can learn much from
them in art crafts as well as pa
tience to let time take care of the
future instead of worrying about it
Whenever you see it rain while
the sun shines, just think of the

Hot Meals
DON'T MEAN A HOT KITCHEN
when you have an electric range!
The oven of an electric range
raises your kitchen tempera
ture only about one degree!
If you're tired of sweltering in the heat of
some old-fashioned cook stove, change to
electric cooking. Then you can prepare
whole meals in your oven or cooker pot and
still have a cool, comfortable kitchen.
Rock wool insulation keeps the oven heat
inside. The temperature control eliminates
the necessity of oven watching. No peeking
... no flooding your kitchen with heat.
And what a convenience it is merely to
snap a switch when you want heat for cook
ing. No fuel to cut or carry in no ashes to
carry out no dirt to clean up.
Because electric cooking saves so much,
thousands regard it as the most economical
method you can use. Certainly it is the most
convenient. So why cling to your present
method any longer? Reasonable prices and
terms to fit your budget make the
purchase of an electric range very
easy. See the displays at dealers
and our nearest office today.
HOT WATER
can be as automatic
as cold water I
When you have an automatic electric water -heater,
you get hot water every time you
turn a hot water faucet. You get it without
any bother or waiting either. For an auto
matic electric water heater keeps a plenti
ful supply of hot water in storage all the
time never lets it overheat never needs
attention. 80Cc of your water requirements
are for hot water. So why continue to put
up with the inadequacy of coils or a tea
kettle? Electric hot water service isn't ex
pensive. Let us give you details today.
