m:be C!bilocco 3Jnbian j,cbool. 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 TIt: Pueblo of \Valpl.
