Utah Stat" Press Association " WMiiah The Men Who Know The Answers Its been many a moon since as distinguished a gathering has assembled at a public meeting as will be heard on the program this evening in the Box Elder stake tabernacle. Like many big events, it started on a small scale, with someone seizing an opportunity, but it has grown now to a point where tonights meeting might be considerceleed as a sort of informal bration for the new Navajo Indian school here. When it was learned that Dr. John R. commissioner of Nichols, Indian affairs in the department of the interior, was to give the commencement address at Utah State Agricultural college, Chamber of Commerce officers and committee chairmen saw it as an excellent opportunity fflr Brigham City people to get n on Indian affairs and Indian the bureau policies in general, and the new Indian school here in particular. ' Dr. Nichols was invited to address a public meeting here this evening, and accepted. President George Albert Smith of the L. D S. church was invited to attend the meeting, to speak to the audience here and introduce Dr. Nichols. In view of the many demands on the great church leaders time and energy, the numerous important functions in the state he is obliged to miss, the speed with which he accepted the invitation was surprising. Ive worked harder to get that Indian school for Brigham City than you know, he said. Previously Dr. George A. Boyce, winding up his duties as superintendent of Indian schools on the Navajo reservation, at Window Iiock, Ariz., had indicated that he would come to Brigham City the latter part of thijS week. ' He was advised of the date of this meeting, and invited to take part on the program.-- The people of northern Utah will hear a lot from me in time to come, he Baid, and modestly asked that he be allot-e- d only five minutes or so of the programs important time. The matter of time on so important a program as tonights became a subject for good natured banter between Dr. Nichols and George Boyce, in Washington, D. C., earlier this week. You take up most of the time, Dr. Nichols urged, "and then I wont be expected to talk so long. With the commissioner of Indian affairs, the superintendent of the new school and the president of the L.D.S. church lined up for the program, it appeared to John Howard, Chamber of Commerce president, .that it was dearly indicated that the man who actually started the ball rolling should be here too. So he sent an invitation to Senator Arthur V. Watkins of Utah, urging that he come from Washington, D. C., to attend the meeting. ' No one, so far as we know, has as yet tagged Senator Watkins the father of the Navajo Indian school at Brigham City. The title sounds a little corny, we think, but the idea behind it is sound. J Probably the No. 1 champion of the American Indian in the U. S. senate, and particularly interested in the Navajos, Senator Watkins conceived the idea of d school utilizing Bushnell as a for young Navajos shortly before the turn of the year. He called in local civic leaders and officials and asked what they thought of the idea. They liked it, so the senator went to work. His accomplishments in the interests of the Indian school here, in a few short months since that time, seem incredible. His principal help, probably, came from the nations nagging conscience in the matter of our treatment of the American Indian. As a nation, in the past century, weve made a lot of promises, even formal treaties, that we havent lived up to very well. There was no question about the Navajos needing a school, needing it desperately. The United States was honor and duty bound to provide it. And Bushnell was a money-savin- g way of providing a maximum of school facilities at minimum cost. (Three and million initial expenditure, and a million a year qualifies as minimum cost in federal finance.) Even so, getting so much action in so little time amounts to virtually a feat of magic, and Senator Watkins is the mastermind. It was a good job he did, and is doing. The fact that northern Utah benefits, or hopes to benefit, is only incidental in motive and results.

Were tempted to add, and to make an important new federal government institution. For more than any other individual. Dr. Boyce will be the man who will build the Indian school here, who will shape its character and policy, who will get it going and make of it whatever it is to be. And your first impression, on meeting Dr. Boyce, will be, The job couldnt be in better hands. Remember General Robert M. Hardaway? Of course you do. Athough here a relatively short time, he left a vivid impression on Brigham City. Coming here when the ground for Bushnell hospital was hardly broken, he oversaw the building of the big wartime hospital, and guided it throughout its existence. He more than any other man was responsible for Bushnell being the model army hospital it was. And more than being a good administrator, a good leader, he was a good citizen for our community.
