WINNLllAGO INDIAN TIHlii:
ON DOWNWARD t'O'URSL
'
Secretly, if not avowedly, 'most of
us harbor a wish to be situated as
are the Winnebago Indians in their
Thurston county reservation. A peo
ple numbering a thousand individuals
own 65,000 acres of fertile land, or,
over a tpiartcr section to the family.
This permits them to live from the
rental pf t)ieir lnnd nnd to spend
their time as they please.
, They visit their friends, spend
much time in social doings, and feud
in general the independent life. Only
about one-fiftn of them porform gain
1 til labor.
But economical independence is
not making a thriving tribe. About
1,200 Winnebugps fled into Nebraslcu
in 1K64 following their deportation
from Minnesota to South Dakota in
the year before'. Their histoiy Up to
that time had been one 'of mistreat
ment by the whites. Since then they
have been well treated, the attentions
of the white bootlegger and grafter
excepted. Yet there are now but
i.uua ot tnem. ineir inmuies are
small. The death r&t6 Is high. Their
ultimate disappearance is a probabil
ity. Dr. Margaret Koenig's recent study
of conditions among these Indians,
the result of which has just been
published by the State Historical So-
defy is on the whole a vindication
of tho view that no people is wise
enough to control the life of another
people.
Two centuries ngo the Winnebagos
In their Wisconsin home wore pros
perous and hnalthy. Today one-tenth
of them are infected with tuberculo
sis. Twojthirds of them. have vener
eal infection. "We have with good
intentions tried to make the Indians
like ourselves. The result has been
to make them worse and weaker
than either ourselves or their nntural
selves.
If they could be led back to their
nntural ways including the necessity
of doing much healthful labor in or
der to live, the downward courses of
our wards at Winnebago Agency
migh, perhaps, be averted. Lincoln

COUNTY SCHOOL INOU
W. E. VOSS, Superiptepdent
The new compu'oory education law
contains more rigid requirements
than the old one, and leaves but few
opportunities for pnrcnts or gunid
lans to obtain cxe nptions for tl'eir
children from school n tendance
Thus the law can be far better en
forced. Too, tho excuses for non
attendance are practically eliminat
ed.
This law places the rcsp psibility
for sepdlng children to achool upn
all parents or other persons who
have legal or actual chut go or con
trol of any child not less than seven
nor more than sixteen yoar3 of age.
Such children must attend school reg
ularly from the opening of tho school
for six months in all rural and vil
lage school districts, and must at
tend regularly for the entire year if
thoy reside in city school districts.
The pupils residing in rural and vil
lage districts must attend for 120
days even though tho school year
happens to be less than nine months.
The 120 days or six months are equiv
alent because the courts have held
that 20 days constitute a school
month.
My plan is to have some-thing to i
I'lrc Pretention on Hie Par in
Millions )f dollars worth of agri
cultutal weulth la destroyed by fire
in the United States each year. This
is a dead low to ihe nation for the
