for irrigation with imes to pond the water Mexican style Others use plows and make rows for irrigating their wheat but these are the acquirements of later years When the Spaniards first came among them they knew practically nothing of irrigation but sought the damper pieces of laud and without plowing planted corn from eight toning inches deep to get the moisture At other times their crops were planted at the mouth of a small hollow where the floods spread over them Haying no domestic animals they needed no fences but built watch towers near each field to scare birds away and for many years after they had horses and cows the watchman herded them away as well Of late years they have learned from the Mormon farmers to fence and some of the farms are now fenced with barb wire The Implements of iron became known to them nearly as soon as domes' tic animals so they did little farming with wood implements and all the irrigated farms are now plowed Yet their farming is slovenly and wasteful and their first need is someone to teach them this art Educating Indians The mistakes and failures in the education of the Zunis have been many and they still believe that their children should have more pay than their clothing and one dinner a day for attending school The Catholics were the first to attempt their education They compelled attendance at mass having to resort to force in many cases

Utah in the City of Mexico there is said to be a letter from the friar at Zuni who You complained of a lack of soldiers might as well try to convert Jews with out the Inqiiistiou as Indians without soldiers ’'were his closing words But the simple mind of the Zuni cannot comprehend ttie truths Christ taught Nor can one Of so simple language and so limited knowledge of numbers understand arithmetic or English A Presbyterian mission school was established in Zuni several years ago The teacher couldn’t get the children to come to school very often and those who did come were poorly dressed The mission board of the Presbyterian church sent cloth to make them clothes and a few attended to get the cloth Al last the board sent three women teachers out One was to teach them sewing another had charge of cooking and laundry work The children were provided with cloth and then taught to make their own clothing Each week they were required to bathe and change their clothing They were given dinner which they ate in a civilizedonanner after helping to cook it Many good results followed but the influence of home was so much stronger that after twelve years of earnest effort the matron became discouraged the school was sold to the government which now employs four teachers in the efforts to carry out the ideas evolved by these mission teachers But the education of Indians is often more effectual when they are moved from the influence of home Even then when they leave school they fall back again It will take 11 RIO GRANDE ' Necessity no doubt compelled the Zunis to seek this valley with its steep sand stone cliffs The earliest traces show that the tribe was never valiant In war while the near neighbors on the north were the Navajocs a tribe of chivalrous hunters and a hundred miles to the south-wes- t were the Apaches who delighted in plunder Thus the Zuni has been forced to the cliffs that lie might evade the warrior neighbors who came to rob him of his farm products There is a monstrous red sandstone mesa north-eas- t of the present Zunl village Its perpendicular red cliffs aro in many places a thousand feet high with only one place up which a footman can climb to its level top There is a tradition among them telling how a big Hood came and covered their homes In the valley and forced them to go to the cliffs for protection Such an event is extremely unlikely Whenever danger from either Navajo Apache or Spaniard has threatened the tribe they quickly flew to these cliffs for safety and were it not for them t he race would long since have been extinct The Zuni Farmers" many generations to civilize the In They carry the water from the mill fir dians and the first tiling to teach houseimki use and from t lie wa-- li for them is to farm
