RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF If y f s TEACHING INDIAN 10 MAKE LIVING Uncle Sam Plans to Make Red Man Useful Citizen. PRACTICAL TRAINING GIVEN Vocational Schools Established to Make Young Wards of Government Efficient in Various Indus- trial Pursuits. To nmke the red mnn n productive citizen, prepared to tuko his place In the industrial und commercial life of the nation 1b the object of the voca tional tralulug which has been Intro--duced by Uncle Sam Into all the In--dlan schools of the country. The chil dren of the original Americans are now being given the benellt of what gov ernment officials believe to be the best vocational training ottered by any school system in the United States. The new system of training for Uncle Sam's young girls is being de eloped under the supervision of Cato Sells, head of the bureau of Indian affairs of the department of the Interior. Mr. Sells is giving much attention to this feature of the bureau's work and Is confident that it will produce very beneficial results. Given Practical Training. The system, recently devised, is di vided Into three divisions. The first Is the beginning stage, the second the Undine stage and the third the finish ing stage. During the first and second periods the training Is domestic and in dustrial activities center around the conditions essential to the Improve ment and proper maintenance of the home and farm. The course outlined 4n the prevocntlonal division is unique In the fact that In nddltlon to the regu- Cato Sells. lar academic subjects boys are required to tuke practical courses iu farming, gardening, dairying, farm carpentry, farm blucksmlthlng, farm engineering, farm masonry, farm palntlug and shoe and harness repairing, und all girls are required to tuke courses In home cook ing, sewing, laundering, nur&lng, poul try raising and kitchen gardening. This course not only prepares the Indian youth for Industrial efficiency, but At the same time helps them to find those activities for which they are best adapted and to which they should apply themselves definitely during the vocational period, the character and amount of academic work being deter mined by Its relative value aud Impor tance as a means of solving the prob lems of the farmer, mechanic and housewife. Nonessentials Eliminated. Nonessentials are eliminated. One half of each day Is given to Industrial training and the other half to academic studies. All effort Is directed toward traltdng Indian boys und girls for ef ficient und useful lives under the con ditions which they must meet after leaving school. Other subjects to which this course directs special attention are health, motherhood aud child wel fare, civics, community meetings and extension work. After their long course of search, the experts of the Indian olllce who have been In the closest touch with this work sny that they came to the conclu sion that tho economic needs of all people and of tho Indian especially demand that the schools provide for Instruction along eminently practical lines. To this end the Industrial schools were cstubllshed, lu which the culture value of education Is not neglected, but rather subordinated to the practi cal needs of tho child's environment. In the first or primary period, spoken of before, the Indian child goes into what Is to him u strange land with a strange tongue, strange habits, customs and standards. Ho Is lacking that fivo years or so of fundamental home edu cation which most white children re ceive Iu our American wnys of think ing, doing and living.

For the alatton suction of the Signal Officers' Reserve corps It Is proposed to have 21H) olllcers, graded from major to second lieutenant. Those who aspire to be olllcers may be taught to fly at tlw expense of the government. Applicants must be from twenty-one to twenty-seven years old. If the can didate Is considered desirable he will be examined physically, mentally and morally. The physical test will be the same as that required for officers of the regular army who want to serve In the Aviation corps. In the mental test the applicant will he required to establish the fact that he has "the equivalent of a college education." The candidate must Ktnte in writing that If he passes his aviation test after being taught aviation at the expense of the government he will become an officer iu the Aviation Iteserve corps'. Then the examining board will recom mend that the applicant be designated as an aviation student. lie will be sent either to an army aviation school or a private aviation school approved by the officer In charge of the aviation section.

OLD PAPERS WORRY CENSORS They Should Not Be Used in Packing Boxes for Shipment Through Any Belligerent Countries. If you arc going to ship some old clothes to the Belgians or to anybody else, through tho belligerent countries of Europe, donlt wrap them lu old newspapers. This Is the warning Is sued by Uncle Sam. Likewise, If you are packing some thing, don't use old magazines or pa pers to fill the Interstices to keep your gifts from rattling around in an over sized packing case. Warning Is being given nil shippers by the department of commerce that delay in customs is sure to bo the por tion of such shipments If they do not suffer a more serious fnto. This wnrnlng Is given to big ship pers, many of whom have found old papers and magazines u cheap and useful packing material. Presence of such printed mutter Is a real menace to the goods. An ulterior motive Is always sus pected when uncensored printed mat ter comes to n belligerent country through channels other than the pub lic post, where It Is readily expected. Homo newspapers are censored by the governments, and uncensored Ameri can papers are not appreciated by the authorities In out-of-the-wny corners of packing cases. i V AMERICAN MftNEY FOR CHINA Rockefeller Foundation Plans to Spend $1,000,000 on Medical College and Hospital Buildings.

The first 11 chapters of this let ter tench and Illustrate the great principles of the Christian life. Paul calls It "my Gospel." Its funda mental principle Is that Justification regenerates men, and nothing else. The second section Is the practical ap plication of these truths. I. The Exhortation to Gratitude (vv. 1-1!). "Therefore," because of the work of Christ on our behalf, wo are to present, our bodies as living sacrifices unto God, to be used for his glory und service. (See chapter 0:18, 10, 1). Paul urges, he beseeches ; he Is winsome, though he might com mand. To "present" technically means, "bring nn offering to God." Tho body Is the sum of nil human faculties, physical und spiritual. It must not be defiled by being yielded as nn Instru ment to sin, for It Is the temple of God. (1 Cor. 8:10, 17). A "Living Of fering." (not ii8 the bodies of sluln animals offered by Jews) Is n conse cration of the body, und not u destruc tion of life. The original means that thisthe offering of ourselves as n living sacrifice Is a reasonable, ra tional service. God has the right of ownership of every member of our body, nnd there never was n day when there was greater need of Insisting upon a Christianity that affects the bodies of men than today. Hands, lips, ears, eyes every member should bo constantly presented to him who pur chased It by the blood of his own Son. (I Cor5. fl:'20; I Pet. 1:18-11).) This Is n spiritual, religious service be cause It Is our spirit which presents the offering of the body which he in habits. Too many of us are "fuBh loued uccordlng to this age." II. The Expression of Gratitude (vv. 8-8). Or tho right use of tho gifts of God. (1) Avoid "self-conceit" (vv. 8-5). These verses Indicate how im portant this subject Is. Conceit Is en tertaining nn exaggerated opinion of one's own ability. Tho church has many members, and they do not all have the samo olllce; there Is a variety In tho unity of the body. So In tho church there uro muny "members In one body," each of which Is Important ; all uro essential. (2) "Prophecy" (v. 0), not necessarily foretelling, but tho revelation of spiritual truth und expprlenco uccordlng to tho propor tion of our faith (Ps. 80:3), the living, spiritual experience of the presence of God within us. (8) "Ministry" (v. 7). The business Bide of tho church, col lecting of Its money und the distribu tion to the poor. Some can best at tend to such business. Many churches full by not selecting wise lenders for this work. (4) "He thut teacheth." The true pastor Is a combined proph et, pnstor and teacher. We are all teaching, whether we wish to or not It Is a privilege us well as an obliga tion. III. Conduct Toward All Men (vv. 0-21). The renewed soul needs guld uncc, encouragement und instruction. (1) "Iu love" (v. 0). Tho hypocrite wears u musk. Notice the closo con nection of "ubhor thnt which Is evil" with "cleave to that which Is good." Tho word for cleave means literally to glue It, so that nothing can scpnrate you from lovo which Is tho supremo good. "In honor preferring one an other" (v. 10). Let others curry the bunncr few of us can stund this ucld test. (8) "Diligent In business" (v. 11). Whatsoever your hands find to do, do It wllh your might, being fer vent or boiling In Bplrlt, the reverse of tho previous exhortation, In that which we are thus to servo tho Lord. Few need exhortation to be diligent In their own business, but all of us need this exhortation with regard to the "king's business." (!) "Rejoicing in hope (v. 12). Triumphing over trlnls und diffi culties in tho way. Looking for that "blessed hope" (Titus 2:13). (5) Pa tience and tribulation (v. 12). The Latin "trlbulum" wns tho threshing In strument or roller whereby the bus bnndmuu sepnrated grain from the husk. Sorrow, distress nnd adversity urc the menus for separating men from the chaff of their lives. Sometimes smnll annoyances, long continued, be come great tribulations. (See .Toshun 21:12.) (0) Continuing In thu school of prayer (v. 12). Steadfast, urgent, pressing, persevering prnyer (Luke 12:1). (7) "Given to hospitality" (v. 13) ; literally, pursued It. Tho word "condescend" Is not strong enough It should be literally "Borne away" from the living things along the line of tho things that are humble. (8) Living pcuceably with all men (v. 18) ; being ready for peace und to do more than your share of recon ciliation. (0) Overcoming evil with good (vv. 10-21). Tho heaping of couls upon tho enemy's head Is uot the object hut tho result of returning good for evil. (See Proverbs 25:21-22.) Tho only real victory Is, "Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
