Gunderson And Young Navajo ... Friends The Navajo Indian held hishand out to shake the hand of one of the members of the Brigham City delegation, who recently , visited the reservation. In response the Brigham City person extended his hand and become acquainted with the unique handshake of the Indians, characteristic of their whole personality. It was gentle and brief, not the firm clasp o ( whites, that of often turns into a contest pumping strength. Accompanying the handshake was a broad smile and a sincere twinkle of the ee that indicated the Navajo was truly a friend from then on. And that is the personality of the Navajo, gentle and a little shy, usually happy, and always sincere in friendship. When the Brigham City group visited the Shiprock Indian school in Shiprock, New Mexico with and become acquainted the ebony headed youngsters, they could not help but exude an air of friendliness and love for the personality of the youngsters which was magnetic and delightful. Visiting first the room where youngsters initially come in contact with the English language, the tooth brush, and a real teacher, the Brigham City group was fascinated. kids grinned Some of the broadly without the benefit of their front teeth, just as they do in all first grades; one small lad had burrowed his head into d: jrMAXIM 4 bracelet DISTINCTION Iu4MiirsUi W...PAINTAR00M 12 THE Save, , .

As the teacher turned pages in a large booklet showing animals that the children came in contact with at home, hands would pop up enthusiastically throughout the room, one of the children would be selected by the teacher to tell the name of the animal in English, and when properly answered the would beam with youngster pride, and sit dowm. As students the Indian children were dead earnest about learning their lesson, when a song was sung they would sing with gusto from the bottom of their lungs, when a question was asked practically every hand in the room would go up, and when reprimanded, which was seldom, they would bow their heads in humiliation. At noon the children filed into the dining room and very oideriy sat at their assigned tables. The boys at one table and the girls at another. Before beginning the group was led in blessing the food by one of the instructors, and when finally al-- , lowed to eat, the youngsters s wasted no time satisfying appetites.

The living quarters are woefully inadequate for the children at the boarding schools. At the Ft. Wingate school, 20 girls were squeezed into a large room, formerly an army barracks that probably accomoda ted a third as many soldiers. For the 208 girls there were 10 showers, four laundry basins, and one washing machine. At all of the schools visited there was mountains of proof that the Indian student is apt, and serious alert, aggressive, about gaining an education. According to intelligence tests the Navajo child has the same capacity to learn as the white child. Perhaps the saddest experience for the Brigham City delegation on the trip to the reservation was visiting the homes of the children who could not attend school because there were not sufficient facilities to handle them.
