Show EDUCATING THE INDIANS Vigorous efforts are making to counteract coun-teract the Influence of some harsh judgments that have been pronounced against the system In vogue oC cdu eating the Indians I has been Bald that the education given Is not practical prac-tical that it disconnects the Indian youths altogether from their natural life and their people that the boys and girls so educated are entirely l useless use-less 1 and helpless when they are returned re-turned to their kinfolk and In short that the most vicious lazy and trifling Indian on the reservation Is the buck who has received a Government education edu-cation that there is 1 nothing for him to do In the line of his school training and that he Is not able to do the things counted useful and manly for an Indian In-dian to do in his native state and that his follows who have not been educated edu-cated do easily and as a matter of course As a prima facie case there would seem to be a good deal of plausibility In this presentation of the case one might cosily think that this Is Just about the way things would turn out But now this IH challenged by the Ted Man and Helper n publication pub-lication Issued from the Carlisle school which prints n communication from a young Pawnee who was educated In that school He Is working in the First I National bank In Pawnee City and keeps In mind the golden motto so much used in the school God helps those who help themselves He also reports that Stacy Mallock is out in Utah working at the Utah probably Ulntah agency na clerk Mark Evarts works on a farm and does what he used to be taught while East Samuel Townsend has held several different positions as foreman of a printing office of-fice and Is now working at the Pawnee Paw-nee agency In Nebraska Robert Matthews was clerking In a dry goods store but sickness caused him to stay at home He reports the death of two of his schoolfellows and adds We are ni married excepting Samuel Townsend and keeping l house for ourselves our-selves I would be Interesting to hoar whether these young men married mar-ried Indian wives hdl If so whether i they arc girls who attended school with them I Is evident however that when one young Indian who has been educated In D large Government school can giveso good an account of himself and his classmates that the condemna tory judgrncnts upon Indian education must be revised |
