HB Indian girl Is progressing in
accordance with tlio example set
by her wlilto sisters. Indeed. It is
n question whether tho Indian girls
are not. in many respects, ad
vancing moro rapidly than their
prototypes among tho paletnces.
However, It must not bo Interred
that the present-day trend of cul
turo and cducntlon and progress
among the Indian girls is a paral
lel as to alms and purposes with
that which prevails among her lair-
complexloncd cousins Quito tho
contrary, as n matter of lact. For Instance, It
may be cited that, generally speaking, the Indian
girls of the present givo tar less thought to
fashions in dress than do temlntne members ot
tho wlilto race. Similarly they uro not exercised
over suffrage and they do not place such stress
on the development ot musical accomplishments.
Hut, on tho contrary, tho twentieth century In
dian girls aro devoting their energies to a mas
tery of cookery and sowing and tho other essen
tials ot successful homc-raalcing to which, In tho
estimation of somo old-lashloucd tolks, the white
girls of the period nio ghlng all too little atten
tion. At the same time, many of tho red-sktn
belles are not content to Ignoro the social accom
plishments which are supposed to enhanco tho at
tractiveness of modern young women. Accord
ingly at tho Indian School at Carlisle, Fn., and
other largo institutions of this kind wo find tho
daughters of the forest crowding tho classes In
music, painting, drawing, dancing, modern ath
letics, etc., and even behold theso descendants or
the savages developing marked dramatic nblllty
in amateur theatrical entertainments ot various
kinds.
Every person Is lorced to admit ot the wisdom
and bonellts of the "white man's education" for
somo Indians. The remarkablo lire stories ot
somo of the selr-mado Indians who have, after
acquiring tho white man's book lenrnlng, adopted
tho white man's mode of lire, amply attest tho
success of tho transformation In Individual cases.
There Is, however, and perhaps always will be
a difference or opinion ns to tho wisdom of at
tempting to fix the Anglo-Saxon standards for
tho entiro rising generation of America's native
tribes. Oddly enough there seems to bo more
widespread belief In such a policy ror the Indian
girls thnn for the young men of tho tepees.
Wo say, oddly, because when new conditions
havo confronted nn uncivilized or semlclvllized
people It has usually been the men who havo ac
customed themselves to the now order of things
moro readily than tho women. In tho caso or
most Indian clans, however, tho women havo
proven moro amenable to tho exactions of tho
new lifo wherein seems to lie the only salvation
of the entiro Indian life. Various reasons have
been advanced In explanation of this, one ot the
most plauslblo being that It has not been as dif
ficult for tho Indian girl to torcgo such pleasures
as sho enjoyed In her old llfo as It has been for
tho 'young bravo to forcsako tho excitement or
thechase and tho care-free nomadic life and to
settlo down lua Ilxed habitation with tho Irksome
monotony of tho whlto man's llfo. Also. It Is Im
possible to overlook tho Influence exerted by tho
examplo of tho considerable number of Indian
women who havo married whlto settlers In Okla
homa and other parts of tho west.
Even at tho outset of her enreer in tho conven
tional environment or tho ngo the Indian girl has
many advantages over her brother who com
pletes his education nt tho same time. It not In
frequently happons that a young man or Indian
blood graduotes with hotiors Irom some Indian
school only to tind no opportunities awaiting him
commensurate with hta ability. Small wonder
that In somo Instances tho young men re
vert to tho ldoals and mode or lllo ot their tore-t-thors.
The Indian girl, on the other hand, can
bb sure that when she Mulshes n schoolcourso
that Includes domestic economy tnero is a plac
yfv"fj or THrwcHSjr o-
awaiting her. Sho will never have any dlfliculty
In obtaining n well-paid position In domestic serv
ice, for the Instructors nt our Indian schools have
moro applications than they can accept trom re
sponsible families eager to secure competent In
dian girls ns household helpers. Some ot the np
pllcnutB even suggest the possibility ot adopting
a young Indian girl If one be found to tultll ex
pectations. Or, If tho Indian girl of the present day, upon
completing her educntlon. elect to try tor a live
Ihood In some one of the artistic pursuits she
seems to have advantages over her brother fully
ns marked as under the circumstances above men
tioned. Tho Indian brave. In his nntlvo state,
does not show aptitude lor any form of artistic
handicraft unless It be the fashioning ot bows
and arrows. Hut tho Indian women havo tradi
tional skill In bead work, in feather work and in
leather work and tho Indian women of tho south
west have for countless generations excelled In
pottery manufacture, In rug weaving and In basket
manufacture. When an Indian girl Is enabled to
use such talents In nrcordanco with tho knowl
edge ot modern art Ideals which a school educa
tion gives her, it goes without saying that Bho
has ready to hand a very agreeable and very ro
munerntlvo means of livelihood.
School teaching Is another vocation which opens
to tho educated Indian girls a futuro that is vir
tually closed to tho redskins of tho sterner sex.
There aro In tho United States a large aud con
stantly Increasing number of Indian schools.
that Is, primary grade schools tor tho education ot
the younger Indian children on the reservations,
and It is coming about that almost all ot the
teachers In these schools nro Indian young women
who havo qualified for tho work at Carlisle or
other schools and by courses In normal schools.
Indeed tho success of great number's or these
young Indian women school teachers In earning
their livelihood by brain work while so many ot
tho Indian young men of tho period must depend
upon manual labor lor their earnings emphasizes
as does nothing clso tho chango that has como
about In tho status ot Indian women. It ts, un
der such circumstances, a completo reversal of
conditions over thoEo that obtained in the long
ngo when tho Indian women were compelled to
do nil of the hard labor, whereas tho men woro
responsible only for the lighter tasks, or, may
hnp, devoted themselves exclusively to wartaie
and tho chnso.
Thero Is llttlo doubt that ono explanation ot
the success which so many twentieth ceutury In-

dlnn girls are making In various fields of en
deavor is found In the heritage ot good health
which has come to them from generations or
healthful ancestors, nnd tho Intluenco of their
own early training and out-door lllo. Particularly
would this explanation account for the splendid
constitutions possessed by so many Indian girls
nnd which havo stood them In good stead In
many exacting vocations, ror Instance, In nursing
Great numbers of Indian girls huve qualltled as
trained nurses and the services ot most of them
are in constant demand nt $100 a month.
Tho Indian baby, strapped to a board or se
curoly packed in nn elongated basket woven to)
tho purpose, can neither kick nor squirm und this
proves nn advantage which is far-reaching In Its
effect in Inter life. Similarly ts there no danger
that the child will attempt to walk nt an earlier
ago than ts desirable. From earliest childhood
tho average Indian girl has been subjected to that
rigorous outdoor lllo which results In making
them almost perfect physically. For Instnnco,
there may bo cited tho motbod followed In giving
nn Indian child a bath, a weekly event The
mother visits some convenient pool or stream nnd
tho young member or tho household, alter being
loosened Irom hor odd cradle, Is placed In shal
low wnter to kick and splash to her heart's con

In the old days tho Indian girls accepted at

In tho nverage Indian camp to see woo girls toll

largo as themselves. Thh condition yet obtains
to n considerable extent, although it Is not so
