~ l OR SEVERAL YEARS it was our good fortune to be in a position to help one of the most deserving tribes of Indians the Government has within its . borders-the Navajos. (L It was Supervisor Lipps who conceived the ~dea of establishing at Chilocco-in the INDIAN PRINT SHOP-a sort of Clear mg House for the best of the Indians' Product. It was his main intention to help ~e Southwest Indians-the secondary idea being to maintain, in the Indian Serv Ice, a Place where the "uninitiated" could purchase Navajo Blankets and Pottery, together with any other Indian Handicraft. without fear of being imposed upon. (tThis Plan was very successful, and the idea grew. from a small beginning, into ; gOOd business until. upon change of school management, it was abandoned, and .Or. sever alb' years no effort has here een made to eIther help these Ind"dIans or al m estabrIshing a larger market for their goods.

HlLOCCO is supposed to be an Indian word, but no one has been found who knows its derivation or original meaning. To a vast army of young people. however. it has now come to mean Opponunity. Ever since 1884 there have been passing into its doors Indian girls and boys needing and looking for training to fit them for the duties and obligations that hence forth must be performed and assumed by them if they are to count at all in our National scheme. and emerging therefrom the same young people to whose natural equipment has been added some learning, some skill, some ideal and some courage. The Institution was established and is maintained by the United States Government. not to [lire its students anything but to loan them each a few hundred dollars. worth of board, clothing and tuition. The tuition is in the following lines: ACADEMIC. - The course extends through nine grades. The common school course of Oklahoma is completed in the first eight and the ninth is ad ded to permit a more complete development of the sciences related to agricul ture. Special teachers of Agriculture, Mechanical drawing and music are pro vided and instruction given to all students. Instrumental music is taught to those who manifest talent for it, a nominal fee beillg charged for this individ dual training. INDUSTRIAL. -Special stress is placed upon the subject of Agriculture for these reasons: 1. The Indian has nine chances to earn a livelihood in a congenial envi ronment as a farmer to everyone in any other pursuit. 2. His capital is practically all in land. of which he must be taught the value. and which is appreciated as of any considerable value only when he has gained the skill and perseverance by means of which he can make it highly productive. On our large farm are employed competent instructors in Farm ing and Stock-raising, Gardening. Dairying and Horticulture. Other industries are Printing. Engineering, Carpentry, Blacksmithing, ~lasonry, Shoe and Harness Making and Painting. In all departments the equipment is good and the instructors capable workmen and teachers. The girls are furnished instruction in every department of home making, including Domestic Science and Domestic Art and )/ursing. It is impossible to tell all about the school's facilities on a page. and it is enough to say there is no better material plant, there are no better teachers anywhere else, and in more than one department Chilocco is in a class alone. It is expected that all who borrow our opportunities shall return to the United States both principal and interest in intelligent and patriotic service as an improved quality of citizens. In such service alone can the debt be paid. HOPI VIEWS A Work of Art for Your Den or Indian Room

I want to give you a lot of advice. I think you need it. I note great improvement in that supervisors now have something definite to offer. Mr. Brown with his floor oil, Dr. Murphy with his condensed milk, Mrs. Newton with her fireless cooker, and Mr. Freer with his "Kiss no one" advice. Traveling men have always found it profitable to carry a side line. I recall particularly, fifteen years ago or sixteen, that a supervisor went about the Service inquiring at each school he visited: "Who are the Republicans of this school?" and he made a careful list of those and then went to work im mediately to eliminate them. I presume in earlier years the same inquiry was made as to who were the Democrats. The position of supervisor was the ~sition of "official fau ltfinder". Getting any suggestions from him of an Instructive or helpful nature was never expected and never realized, because he never had anything to offer-he was an empty bucket. The personnal in that rpspect has been very greatly improved. We have really begun to co-oper ate. I can well remember when the supervisor was the natural enemy of every body in the Service. He was taking notes with which to "get" someone, al though he did not have the camera that you are to be loaded with now to take us In unfavorable positions. You, on the other hand, have something definite to offer us, and instead of being our natural enemies we expect you to come to us with a helping hand extended and I believe tbat that expectation is being realized and will be more fully re~lized from year to year, so that the visits of field officials will not be looked upon as calamities, as they were usually in the early days, but that they are to be esteemed as something of a beneficent nature. ! remember Mr. Peterson's last visit and now compare it with the visits of the lnspect()rs of other days. There is the difference between the one IV ho criticised everything and overlooked everything good and in the least commendable, and the one who commends that which is good and suggests ways to make it still better and brings things that are bad to the attention of the superintendent a~d employes concerned in order that the faulty conditions may be rectified. HIS desire is not to see somebody "fired" but to see something improved. I can ·Rernarks to Supe~iBors at the Lawrence Conference of September 6, 1912. • 82 THE INDIAN SCHOOL JOURNAL-·ABOUT INDIANS speak of nothing that argues the betterment of the character of your service and the breadth of the men who make up the personnel of the sUIJe rvisory force in that their one desire is to be helpful. Faultfino ing is the easiest thing in the world. It requires a man of no breadth whatever; in fact, you have to be rather narrow between the eyes to be a pers istent, consistent faultfinde r; but the man who can discriminate between the things that are right and those that are wrong and can make the right things still better, is a very rare man indeed. I have been humiliated in looking back over my long experience as an In. specting official to note the number of times that, through hasty investigations, I arriyed at wrong conclusions. There are people who Ilever have arrived at wrong conclusions-in their own esti mation-but I belieye all of us who are conscientious will admit that we are prone to do so, freque ntly. Sometimes the ears are closed to everything that would explain a condition while they a~'e opened to everything that might be construed to aggravate the cor dition In order that sensational reports may be made. There are people in the inspection Servi ce \~ho are more careful to secure indictments than they are to secure refo r~a t lOn, and such people are of the very least benefit. They may create sensatIOns; they mal' make people who are a little bit guilty appear still more so. They may blast reputations-and reputations once blasted can never be !~IIY restored.

I think there is great opportunity for supervisors in their visits allout the res ervations to find those pupils who ought to attend non-reservation schools. We have good plants and present good opportunities. 1 believe you will all agree with me as to that; and we ought to make our opportunities applicable to people who are worth whi le. We ought not to lle limited to the deaf and dumb, nor to those who have passed beyond the control of the reservation authorities. Without this co-operation on the part of reservation authorities we cannot make our schools effective: we cannot make them do what they ought to do. We do not want to rob the reservation: we have no intention of doing that; but the material that we do get ought to be the best. I am astonished at the number of large boys and girls II' ho come to our institutions who ha ve to be put in primary grades. It is necessar:1 for me to keep a specialist for teaching largl' boys and girls who have never been in school. They have always lived on the reserva tion and the fact that they have not yet received the proper education is due in part to the sins of omission of the superintendents of reservations. A great deal of attention has been paid in the past years. and is still being paid, to the preservation of the Indians' property. Farmers by the hundred are appointed, the intention being in the first place the very laudable one of teaching the Indians how to farm in order that they may make use of their allotments. But as a matter of fact, about the whole business of those men has been to assist the Ind ians to avoid work. They are not farmers, but they are lease clerks and rent collectors. They are busy in the business of making leases, collecting lease money, and much of the machinery of the agency is de voted to the payment of lease money over to the Indians. making their property no use to them, but a positive hindrance, something that stands immovably in the way of industrial salvation. I am convinced that our supreme effort must be upon the young people. Something can be done for the old people. and I would not for a moment counsel the abandonment of the effort for their assistance. "While the light holds out t) burn. the vilest sinner mal' return." The maxi mum of the assistance should be given to the ones whose habits and ideas have not already been formed. Much can be done for them. Much can be at tempted, but not a great deal can be accomplished for those who have grown old in Indianism. We know that in a few years the old Indians will pass off the stage. We should teach an appreciation of property. It is the sheerest nonsense if you will pardon my being so willing to offer so positive an opinion in this a embly-it is the sheerest nonsense to talk about buying more proper ty for those people who have "with malice aforethought" squandered what they once had. I found in my many investigations that the removing of re strictions was in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred simply a preliminary to the sale of or the giving away of the land. There is no use of providing people lVith such opportunities for livelihood until you have provided them with the sense and the sentiment by virtue of which they will appreciate what they have. The Indian as a rule, at this time under the leasing system. looks upon an allotment as an invitation to live without work. That is not his fault. He has not been educated to any saner sentiment. We would like to get the young people in such position that when they have rea~hed manhovd's and woman hood's e-tate, they will know what property stands for-what it is to have a • 84 THE I DIAN SCHOOL JOURNAL-ABOUT INDIANS means of livelihood. You "ill not then need legislation to make them hold it; you will not need to provide them with homes; they will be their own providers. The Indian's property is of minor consideration; the man and the woman are what we are after. If we give them the training they need and they then start without a dollar, they wi ll still succeed. There is one tribe of Indians living near our school, from which reservation we refuse to take children. They have so much property that they have lost everything else. They have exchanged character for property. They have lived so long without effort that they are incapable of putting forth any. Until conditions change; unti l they are divorced from some of their property, their civilization is impossible. I know of no people who are in a more pitiable condition, and yet they are spok en of in the newspapers as being the most fortunate of all Indians because they have the largest per capita wealth. We have to get the dollar sign off our work. Let us get into the business of making men and women out of these boys and girls, and let the property business take care of itself. When we h~ve made men and women out of them they will accumulate property that Will be worth while. In order to appreciate the value of anything it is neces sary to work to get it. There is another thing that I want to mention. We are called upon in these days to prepare a great deal of statistics.
