I- II has so many differentI I tribes of Indians as

Oklahoma. Naturally,.' = r;. the great prominence

in Indian affairs hasbeen given to the Five Civilized Tribesot the Indian Territory section of the

tate-Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaw,Chicka. aw, and Seminole. Thesetribe repre. ent an Indian populationof more than 126,000, a numerical in­erea e ince.tatehood of more than12,000. The .tudent should not forget,however. that in these figures are in­clUded mixed-blood Indians, for thef.ull-blood population of the Fi,e Civi­hzed Tribe. has decreased steadily forhe past three-quarters of a century.

Thi is attributable to two facts the~ul!-blood'. manner of living not being~n conformity with the times, and theac that ) many white people have~ttled in the Indian domain that~ntermarria.gehas reduced the quan-•UJn of Indian blood; likewise it haslIIcreased the longevity of the race.

Many Cherokee full-bloods are to befound in the Spavinaw Hills districtalong the Illinois River; the Choctaw,hllving the largest number of full­bloods among the Five Tribes, pushedthose of that admixture over belowthe Kiamichi Mountains and are nowlargely found in :McCurtain County.Even the full-blood Chickasaw hasgone o,er into the hil1s country, wheregame still abounds and the white manhas not pushed his cultivator andcotton gin too far among the recessesof those hills.

Senator Owen i part Cherokee; sois Congressman Hastings. Congress­man Carter is a Chickasaw. The Har­rison are Choctaw, so is William A.Durant, Tom Hunter, and ex-ChiefYictor Locke, and the :McCurtains,prominent for generations.

There aremany instances of Creek Indians \Vhhad'never seen their allotted land;having income of se,eral thou:<anddollars per day. These fortunes harebeen largely handled by the Depart'ment of the Interior, as the nakeshad never even asked that the restric­tions preventing alienation of heirlands and themselves handling theirown property be removed.

CHILOCCO'S EARLY DAYS.

By Emma Dek Sleeth.

T o you who are enjoying all theimprovements of well equippedmodern homes, surrounded by

the luxuries of an immense farm, letme tell you something of pioneer Chi­locco in 1884, and a few years laterwhen it changed its Superintendenttoo often for its own good.

Human beings, mo t of them areinfluenced much by their .environ­ments and it is well to look beyondourselves and our many comforts totho e who have less and to commit tomemory and repeat it over and overone of Kipling's best poems, "Lest WeForget."

Now since thrift, economy and goodcommon en e is to be the slogan dur­ing this reconstruction period, indi­vidual application will work wonders.To no one superintendent can Chiloc­co's success be attributed, althoughit sometime. looked as if each succes­sive Superintendent tore down whathi.' predece. <or had reared, but thoseof us who know and saw it seemedthat the man who accomplished themo -t in the short.e t length of timewas doctor H. J. Minthorn, the second'uperintendent of Chilocco and theuncle of our honored food adminis­trator, Herbert J, Hoover. DoctorMinthorn' method of bringing orderout of chao eemed omewhat evereand no doubt was but the occasiondemanded the discipline of an armyofficer, and in less than sb: months'time 210 pupil were housed inChilocco's one building, which wasa boarding hou e, infirmary, schoolroom., everything. and the appropri­ation increa>ed, .'0 Chilocco could livewi hout cut ing uP old felt hats forlamp wick.~, filling the lamps half withoil and half ~ith 'ater and resortingo other mean. of economizing that

w almo't impo erishing. But welived and were haPPY and often ~incehen have we fel(; like saying in the

words of ~1litco be Riley, "Let us goback to Grigsby'9 tation where wewere so happy a d so poor."

There is something satisfying inmanaging, making things as it wereout of nothing, and your well belovedboy's matron can tell you how, Olh!bright October day we roamed overa large corn field and found eno~gbnice little sweet nubbins for the child­rens' supper. And did you ever hearthat Chilocco, the whole school olh!vacation, went vaudevilling? Wechartered a car at Arkansas City andgave our first entertainment at Wich­ita in the first Presbyterian chUrc~The church was our boarding anrooming house also, and the meals thegood ladies of the church provided forus could not be bought now un~2.00 each. The entertainment pro

a success. The house was crowded andwe were almost suffocated but ~made a "hit" for the school and ~was one of Doctor Minthorn's ways 0

seeched the gOVt;T!lI"ent and prind­pally through his dfortB the NezPerce Indians were returned to theirbelo\ eli Idaho.

Doctor. Iinthorn's Superintendencywas fraught \\ith many difficulties.It was not smooth sailing by anymeans. The run aways increased andto stop it he sent a big hay rack loadof large boys to Haskell. Like a pic­ture, I can. ee that load of boys, stand­ing, terrified, jumping, whistling,singing and shouting as they passedthrough the north gate to take thetrain at Arkansas City. They weredelighted to go, Many never havingbeen on a railroad train before andthey all did well at Haskell. I have allsympathy for run aways. I wanted torun away my. elf when I first arrivedat Chilocco.

Samuel \haton, one of our largestboys was chief night watchman. Thefirst adornment of the grounds was afountain in front of the building..(Remember there was just one build­mg them.) To test his \igilance thedoctor went out at midnight ostensiblyto get a drink at the fountain. Im­mediately he was touched on theshoulder and a gruff voice full ofauthority said: "What for you wantto run awav?" When am saw he hadaccosted the uperintendent he wasfull of apologie.. but needle to sayhe was commended and promoted.

Sam at one time wa the leader ofthe fir t trike at Chilocco. It was

hay making time, very hot and dusty.The boys had been induced to remain~uring vacation to work and thoughtthey were not receiving just compen­sation for so great a sacrifice. Thesuperintendent's \\ife, Mrs. Hadley,broke the strike by pleading for a littlehay for her pony's sake. SamuelAhaton had fine principles, possesseda keen sense of justice, as I believemany Indian do, and was, I think achristian young man. He took somepride in saying he was a member ofthe Episcopal church, and had hisprayer book with him almost con­stantly, but, by some mishap, when heleft Chilocco he left his thumb-markedprayer book behind him. If he is stillIhing and wishes to again possess anold keepsake, if he will write to theeditor of the Chilocco JOURNAL he mayhave it after a lapse of more thanthirty years.

The winter of 1886 was very severefor that climate. The snow was drift­ed so high between the building andthe little cottage where we boardedthat some of us just took a snack fromthe childrens' breakfast table. Thesnow had drifted in on their table intheir long basement dining room whenone of the big feeling independentIndian boys said, "better set the tableout on the prairies."

And thus we worked and strivedamid difficulties and discouragements,until we have a modern Chilocco,thinking of preparing for the ad­mi ion of eight hundred pupils.

"In ye name of God, Amen. We whosenames are unden\'riten, the loyall subjectsof our dread soveraigne Lord, King James,by ye grace of God, of Great Britiane,France, & Ireland, King, defender of yefaith, &c, itaveing undertaken, for ye glorieof God, and advancemente of ye Christianfaith, and honour of our king & countrie, avoyage to plant ye first rolonie in ye north,ern parts of Virginia, doe by these presentsolemnly & mutually in ye pre- nce of God,and of ODe aDO her. covenant and combine oursdves tol(eather into a cirill body politick,for our be ter ordering . preservation &futherance of ye ends aforesaid; and by\'ertue hereof to enacte, constitute and frameluch just & eqalI lawe" ordinances, acts,constitutions, & offices, from time to time 8S

It wag winter when they landed. They didDO make ufficient preparation~ and abouthalf of their rompan)' perished during thosefirst cold month , those who sun;"ed learnedfrom experience. Others who joined themfrom Enl(land also profited from the hardI sons of that first winter, They werehelped by the Indians who were friendly\\;tb the newcomers.

Those who accepted rosponsibilities in the!leW nation remembered that the Pilgrim~athers had stood for relil(ious and civil

berty, for :ood go~ernment and for in·!ell· 'ectual Improvement through school and

college. Thc)' decided that such a legacyshould not be destroyed hut should be en­larged and transmitted to future generationsof Americans.

One hundred years ago, leaders in . ~ewEnlirland celebrated this same anniversary.The principal speaker was the orator andstatesman. Daniel Webster, who made aremarkable prophecy about the celebrationson this day reaching from sea to sea. Hiswords were ,,5 foHows:

"The hours of this day are rapidly flying,and this occasion will soon be passed.:\either we nor our children can expect tobehold its return. They are in the distantreltions of futurity, they exist only in theall-creatinl( power of God, who shan standhere a hundred years hente, to trate, throulthus their descent from the Pill(rims, and toun'ey, a' -re ha,~e surveyed. the pro~s

We would antici­pate and partake in the pleasures with whichthev will then recount the steps of NewEn~land's ad\·ancement.

Here are we. on the edl(e of the Pacificseas, parinl( respectful tribute to the Pil­~rim Fathers. The same glad acclaim haskep romoanr with the hours from dawn aPlymouth Rock to this placid wilil(bt onPUl(et Sound.

Let us more completelr fulfill the Web­sterian prophecy by recamn~ ~')me of theprov-ess of the century now cJo~infZ'. Fromhe becinninl! of chiJization it ha:, been a joy

purthased from Russia iu 1867. That hugeproviuce is only beginning to receive a titheof its merited appreciation.

When the centeunial anniversary of theDeclaration of Independence was being cele­brated. the exposition in Philadelphia as­toni.hed the world with evidences of progressmade by the Republic in the hundred years.It may be of interest to mention two toys intbat exhibition-the electric lamp and thetelephone. "ew who were then amused couldreali7.e how those two inventions were toinfluence CIvilization.

That same year, 1876, saw the last greatbattle with American Indians, when thetribes of the Sioux ,-ation destroyed thearmy under General G. A. Custer. Soonthereafter the cattle men and farmerspoo;sessed the plaius. The Superintendent ufthe linited States Census in 1890 made thedeclaration that the froutier had disappearedafter I O.

The real railroad builders knew the inter­dependence of farm and railroad and thevalue of both to a gro\\;ng nation. James J.HIli once declared: "Land \\;thout people isa wildernes3; people without land is a mob."As the greater opportunities of the frontierhad gone, attention was turned toward irri­gation to still further reduce the qualiti..of "the wilderness" and "the mob."

Two events of far-reaching import oc ~w·red in 189. The Spanish-American iI'arfreed Cuoa and gave the linited States:el"Seas possessious which have changed

e Republic's perspective \\;th world-wideresponsibilities. The other event was thegold rnsh to Alaska. The rapid gathel ingof the .precIOus metal in those fields producedreaults which are still being studied byeconomists.r/n 1900, Secretary of State John Hay: ted Amencan diplomacy into leadershipt~r a tllne in the Orient by his dealing \\;th

e troubl<d conditions in China.In 1903, the Unitffl States began the con-

stru<!tion of the Panama Canal, the com­pletion of which credits America with one ofthe greatest achievements of the century.

It is not proper for Americans to boastof their part in the Great World War. Weserved and sacrificed in the great cause. Theheroic dead and the lavish dollars may allbe counted in course of time, but the fullsacrifice of wounds on the field and of deathand suffering at home can never be computed.As this country we are now consideringdraws to a close, earnest men are struggling\\;th the problems of binding up personaland national wounds and the establishmentof an international agreement that will pre­vent such another destructive conflict amonJ!'the nations of the earth.

We have fulfilled the prophecy spoken onehundred years ago today. What shall wesay to those who may assemble here on thenext centennial anniversary. We have numer­OUi records of Indians who attain ages great­er than a hundred years. So it may be thatsome of you younger Indians may live thatlong and bear \\;tness of this meeting tothat one. It is not likely, however, that anyof us \\;11 live to see that day. Those who willassemble then are of the future.

They will love the same great mountainpeaks clea\;ng the sky, the same great riversrunning toward the sea, the same wide shore~

of "Whulge" at ebb and flow of tide.The,' \\;ll cherish faint echoes of the

fores~ and your fathers' legends of eagle,of beaver and bluejay_ They will know thatwe met here to remember the past and togreet the future.

BRAVE AKD BRILLIANT BOYS

Dr. Winship's Editorial ill 'The .Toumal of Education."

I T wa' in Dalla. that I saw the mo,t brave and brilliant dash forre:ecue that I have :een. The football team of one of the Dallas

high chool was going through the city in a truck, the band playingcatchy music.

In the moe crowded street in the business section an expressteam with two big hor:es, with a wei~ht-chain on one of them,reared and pitched and broke the chain and made a wild dash intoa rna:: of automobile: and people. Two high chool football boysmade a flying leap from the truck, and ran like a deer, one makingfor the head of the nigh hoI'. e and the other making a dash overthe tailboard for the reins.

Hundred. of men ,\ere looking on in helple.' despair, but oneboy dangling from the bridle of the nigh horse and the othertugging madly at the rein brought the horse' down and no onewa' harmed.

_ ·· · · 1of human life and thought and energy is devoted to yuardinl;"against accidents and to reducing the pos -ibility of their oacurrence.The people who are negligent in taking percautions are most com­monly the victims of serious accidents.

Yet accident, if they are not serious or costly, are often goodthings for people. It i~ the minor accidents, the totally unexpectedand unwelcome occurrences, that strengthen character and that.enable those who encounter them to meet other and more severeemergencies with fortitude and resourcefulness. And althoughthey are inconvenient enough at the time, they usually affordmat~rial for interesting or amusing reminiscence. and they occa ion­ally re\-eal sympathetic aspects of human nature. To the auto­mobili I., for example, a tire puncture is a minor accident of thevexatious sort; among the group of spectators that gathers onthe city sidewalk to observe his efforts to cope with the situationthere is always someone who is helpful if he needs help. As theminor accident in which you require help is likely to increase­temporarily at least-your confidence in human nature, so does theminor accident in which vou have to manage without help oftenresult in an increased confidence in Yourself.

The person who has come to look' upon minor accidents philoso­phically and to accept them serenly without grumbling has not onlylearned a good deal of wisdom but is a comfortable sort of a personto live with. '
