is supposed to be an Indian word. but no one has found who knows its derivation or original meaning. To a \"ast army of young people. however. it has now come to mean Opportunity. Ever ~ince 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 ideals and some cou rage. The Institution \Va< estab l ish~d and i~ maintained by the United States Government. not to (lirc 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 coml'leted in the first eight and the ninth is add­ ed 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 giren to all students. Instrumental music is taught to those who manifest talent for it, a nominal fee being charged for this individ­ dual training. Il'iDUSTRIAL. -Special stress is placed upon the subject of Agriculture for these reasons: 1. The Indian has nine chances to earn a livehhood in a congenial envi­ ronment as a farmer to nery one 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 per;el'erance by means of which he can make it highly productive. On our lar~e farm are employed competent instr'.lctors in Farm­ ing and Stock-raising. f.ardening. Dairying and Horticulture. Other industries are Printing. Engineering. Carpentry, Blacksmithing. lIIasonry. Shoe and Harness ~laking and Painting. In all departments the equipment is goo:! and the instructors capable workmen and teachers. The girls are furnished instruction in el'err department of home making. including Domestic Science and Domestic Art and Xursing. 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 sen-ice alone can the debt be paid. HOPI VIEWS A Work of Art for Your Den or Indian Room

The St. Louis Republic, commenting on the annual report of PATERNALISM. the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, with special reference to the alarming death rate from tuberculosis, has this to say : Paternalism, howe\'er alluring, is the weakling's dream. Government is a tool in the hands of a people for the fashioning of that people's civi li zation. It is strong or weak, capa­ ble or deficient. according to the people. The people make the Government. They are Its creators, protectors; they are its maintenance. The people that looks to the Government for its meal tickets dies, whether its complex­ ion be red or yellow, or black, or brown Jr white No one has a more keen realization of the fact that the Indian must perish unless he can be given soon the ability and courage to stand without props pro­ vided by the Government, than the thinking people who are engaged in caring for them. Only the young, the senile and the defectives should be subjected to a system of paternalism. Those who have reached manhood and woman­ h03d under the snadow of our efficient Indiln educational system, which they have used or neglected to use, should be required to depend entirely upon themselves. ~o person who has attained his growth can lean upon the Gov­ ernment without growing weaker, and no Government can be effective that permits its strength to be absorbed by parasites. We can protect the grown and trained Indian's home, but he should be in all other respects turned loose.

By PETER CREEPING BEAR, Arapaho.

The clouds in the West have gathered, And the lightning flitteth about so spryly. The roa r of the thunder is heard In the distant horizon. The winds \jegin to hi,,,. and the cows Are lowing in the lanp. The farmer's call is heard And the cow, head homeward. The clouds approach nearer and nearer And the day grows darker and darker As the bleating of the sheep is heard on tho hill-tops. Drop by drop the rain falls; Faster and faster it falls; And the wind is high. Flashes of lightning play about, And down the window pane Streams of rain are seen. Streams of water are seen Rushing and roaring Down the road sides. Thundering and lightning Grows furious and loud. The whizzing of tho wind Is heard beneath the eaves­ The wind ceases to blow And the clouds clear away. The sun appears again And the birds sing as before. The over-flowing rushing river Is heard as it rushes on. The farmer looks from his door And sees his fields of grain. He thanks the All-Father For the rain He sends For his grain and his home. The horses in the shed Are waiting to he loosened and out; The cows are out in the meadow Among the wet grasses eating The soft-watered fresh grass; And the storm passes on Towards the eastern rnountains­ The last streaks of lightning Are seen from the western plains, As it plays among the mountain tops, And the rainbow appears in the west­ The farmer rejoices again- For the good care hy the Lord During the storm of iife and fear.
