TEACHING REDSKINS.
METHOD OF EDUCATING INDIAN
CHILDREN.
Prog-rest Made by the Introduction of
Manual Training Into School Grati
fying Keaulta of an Experiment Tried
bj Miss Kstelle Reel.
Since her appointment as superinten
dent of Indian schools Miss Estello Reel
bag accomplished wonders by the Intro
duction of manual methods In agency
schools scattered throughout the West
ern States and territories. Early In
her career as superintendent she be
came convinced, as she herself express'
es it, that "among all children, Indians
and whites alike, the shortest road to
the brain la through the bund." In a
perfunctory way manual training bad
been In operation before Miss Heel re-
celved her appointment, but since then
It has received close attention and the
results have been gratifying In the
extreme. In the early days of the re
public most Indian teachers sought to
lift the aboriginal mind to the plune of
Christian enlightenment by means of
texts and sermons, catechisms and In
Junctions, and too commonly their ef
forts ended In the sad realization that
the seed was sown on stony ground.
Half a century ago some teachers be
gun to realize that the chief need of the
Indian Is for practical education Involv
ing muniial training and actuul Intro
duetlon Into the arts and Industries of
their Caucasian neighbors, and the ef
forts of those teachers who adopted
this plan were always more or less
fruitful. It was not until the advent
of Miss Keel that the system was given
a really fulr trial. The result has been
so satisfactory that doubtless the wJrk
will be still further developed In fu
ture. Observers of educational prog
ress are Impressed with the lncreasluz-
ly practical character of Instruction In
our own schools; the kindergarten has
passed the experimental stage and be
come an Important educational factor;
mnnual training has been substituted
for the dreary grind of word drill, to
the Immeasurable benefit of pupils, and
nature teaching Is rapidly replacing the
busks of dead knowledge In every uni
versity ana in all the better normal
schools and high schools, as well ns In
many of the primury schools through
out the country.
In speaking of the benefits accruing
from this system of education Miss
Reel said recently: "The benefits of
this educational revolution to the chil
dren and youth of America have been
very great, yet the advantages of the
modern method are incomparably
greater to Indian children than to their
Caucasian contemporaries. Allowing
for exceptional cases, the Indian child
is of lower physical organization than
the white child of corresponding age.
His forearms are smnller and his Au
gers and bands less flexible; the very
structure of his bones and muscles will
not permit so wide a variety of man
ual movementn as are customary
among Caucasian children, and bis
very instincts and modes of thought
are adjusted to this Imperfect manual
tlon, when completed, will consist of
the large examination and ofliee build
ing, a restaurant, laundry and bath
house, a power-house and a hospital
and a physician's house. All of these
are to be fireproof. The government
does not Intend that the catastrophe
which destroyed the old station on the
ntght of June 15, 1897, and threatened
the liyes of between 200 end 300 Immi
grants, shall be repeated. No wood
has been used In the construction of the
main building except In the floors of
the ofiices on the second story and In
the trimmings.
The architects have adopted a color
scheme In red brick, Indiana limestone
and Maine granite. The design Is pick
ed out In the light stones and accentu
ated by the contrasting tints. The big
building Is further accentuated to the
distant passer-by on the water by four
towers. The exterior In some respects
suggests an exhibition hall. Owing to
the absence of any buildings not In har
mony with It In dimensions and design, j
tlsts was John Sweeney, the ion of a
well-known livery man. -
During the evening It was suggested
as an additional means of entertain
ing the guests that some one be uypno

a powerful young man, offered his sen-
Ices, and was soon under the Influence
of a young operator named Cook, lu

an Idea of Its size. It coven one and
one-half acres of ground and Is 105x400
feet.
In order to provide greater Isolation
for the hospital and furnish a basin for
the anchorage of the steamers used In
transporting the immigrants, a new
Island, about three acres in extent, has
been made southwest of the main Isl
and and parallel to It. The two are
connected on the Jersey City side by a
crib. The hospital is being built on
the Jersey City end of this new rect
angle of land. The physician's house is
to stand on the southwestern extrem
ity. The other buildings are on the
main Island, the restaurant,' laundry
and bathhouse adjoining the main
building on the northwest end and the
power-house occupying the north side
of the Island.
All of the buildings and the landing
piers and ferry slip are to be connected
with covered passageways, so that

permitted to walk upon the broad prom

Ellis Island has been used as an Im
migration station since 1801. Shortly
after Congress relieved New York State
of the supervision of the European lin-
he received a terrific blow, which sent
him spinning away more than twenty
feet. Sweeney, under the peculiar in
fluences, appeared to Imagine himself
a prize-fighter, and for a time it was
well that few disputed this point with
him.
A physician was finally summoned,
and after a long struggle the young I
man was handcuffed. He was removed 1
to a hospital for treatment. Sweeney I

At Last Proper Hespcct I Shown fo
the Feeling of Women.
Boston sentiment, as reflected in eui
tured circles, has always set In strong
against the breeches buoy, says tM
Marine Journal. As a life-saving ap
paratus the breeches buoy has Its
strong points, but there Is a lack of
modesty about Its operations that has
often brought the blush of shame to
the cheek of beauty on the Massachu
setts coast. This rude device will do
well enough for saving the life of a
man, but the mere thought of rescuing
a Boston woman In such a fashion has
been known to send a chill of horror
up and down the granite spine of Bunk

We are gratified beyond measure,
therefore, to record that Prof. Feabody,
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, and the board of llfe-savlug ex
perts, of which he is president, have
taken steps to veil the Immodesty of
the breeches buoy. At the last meeting
of the board It was recommended that
a canvas bag skirt be furnished all sta
tions, to be used hereafter In taking
women ashore from shipwrecks.
Whether the skirt Is to be flounced,
hang plain or "bell shaped" Is not
stated. The garment Is not lutended to

WHERE IMMIGRANTS LAND.
x tensive Quarter ltelnut Built on
Kllia Island, New Vork.
Early next year the immigrant who
arrives in jxew lors nay will make his
first landing on free soil lu one of a set
of spacious buildings which are now In
course of erection on Ellis Island, New
York Bay. The new Immigrant sta-
mlgrants entering through this port a
wooden , building 750x250 feet was
erected on Ellis Island as a station at
au expense of between $500,000 aud
$000,000. It was opened on New Year's
Day, 1891. On the night of June 15,
1897, the big nondescript building, de
scribed at the time as a veritable tin
derbox, was burned to the ground, for
tunately without the loss of a life. The
immigration office was moved back to
its original home in the barge office
and preparations were made for the
construction of a series of fireproof
buildings to replace the old buildings.
The cost of these is over $1,000,000.

ACTRESS SELLS NEWSPAPERS.
Pauline Schroder Has a Ptand at
Theater Where She Once Played,
Tauline Schroder, who was until
three seasons ago a successful actress,
is now selling papers before the New
York theater ln which she once won
applause. Miss Schroder is a California
woman, and went on the stage when
she was a child. The name of the first
play in which she had a part was "The
Streets of New York," with which she
was later to make such close acquaint
ance. In the height of her career she
was married, but soon left her hus
band. She went to live with her invalid'
mother in a little flat in New York.
The actress was still young, but she
gave promise of making a worthy name
for herself In her profession, but an
acldcent happened that made her a
cripple for life. One morning Miss
Schroder started on her wheel to get
some medicine for her mother. A trolley
car knocked her down, dragged her the
length of a block, and left her malmei.
and desperately injured. For weeks she
lay in the hospital, persistently refus
ing to consent to the amputation of her
leg, wiilch bad been badly crushed.
Then, for fear they would amputate It,
despite her refusal, she went home to
the flat where her mother lay. All her
money was gone. The two women
faced starvation, and then Miss Schro
der bought a bundle of papers, went to
the door of the Casino, on whose boards
she had been a favorite, and took her
Btatlon as a newsgirl.
Leaning on her crutches, her face so
changed by want and suffering, that
few persons recognize her, the once
pretty actress presents a pitiable pic
ture. Thpnirlrnl mnninmra who knew
her in the old days pass and talk to her,
and many a quarter Is left ln her hands
In payment for a penny paper. Here
and there one interests himself in her
case, and there Is now talk of obtain
ing compensation for her Injuries from
the street railway company if possi
ble. That this can be done Is not likely,
except at the end of a hard-fought law
suit, such as the attorney who has in
terested himself in her case promises
to carry on.
No doubt the children's idea of

It is said that the flag follows the
trade, but in the Russian case it Is the
trade which follows the flag. Russia
has never made, a movement from
which she has gone back; her great
land-grabber and her great Cecil
Rhodes was called Yamak., and he pen
etrated and annexed the great part of
Siberia for the czar of the day, and
Russia within the last few months has
christened her most powerful ironclad
after this great explorer.
The counts of Mouravieff, uncles of
the late minister of foreign affairs ts
the present czar, are known in history,
one as the man who annexed the great
er part of the Caucasus for the czar ot
his day, and the other completed the Si
berian annexation; and their successor,
the late Count Mouravieff, was follow
ing in the footsteps of his ancestors.
The Russian minister of foreign af
fairs acts independently, sometimef
without consulting any of his col
leagues, and very often without con
sulting the czar. He always employs
men who have been trained ln the de
velopment of the Russian empire, at
the expense of other pejple. London
