INDIAN SUMMER SCHOOLS
By authority of the Secretary of the
Interior, a number of institutes will be
held this summer for the benefit of the
teachers of the Indian. Those at pre
sent scheduled are as follows:
Pine Ridge Agency, S. D., June 25-27
Flandreau Indian School, S.D., July
Hampton Summer School, Va., dur-
ing July.
Department of Indian Education of
the N. E. A., Minneapolis, July 7 —ll.
Pacific Coast Institute, Newport
Oregon, August 18
In each of these institutes topics of
general interest pertaining to the wel
fare of the Indian will be discussed.
The first Indian summer school of re
cord, consisting of representatives from
four boarding and two day schools,con
vened at Puyallup, Washington, in 1884.
Similar meetings have been held each
year since with greatly increased at
tendance. At the Los Angeles meeting
in 1899,up0n the application of Miss.
Estelle Reel, General Superintendent
of Indian Schools, the teachers in the
Indian Service were admitted as a de
partment of’the National Educational
Association, being now known as the
“Department of Indian Education.”
While all of these various institutes
will hold interesting and instructive
sessions, those of the Department of
Indian Education will attract the widest
attention. The local institutes will be
conducted for the convenience and help
of those teachers in the western schools
who will find it impossible to attend
the Minneapolis meeting. The Depart
ment of Indian Education will be at
tended by teachers from all over the
country and its program contains
papers, addresses, and lectures by the
most eminent Educators of the United
States. Though the youngest Depart
ment of the National Educational As
sociation, it is one of the largest,having
a membership of over 3,00), composed
of the various employees of the Indian
Service, who are scattered through the
length and breadth of this country, en
gaged in the praiseworthy work of pre
paring the youthful aborigine for the
duties of citizenship
An interesting feature of the meeting
of this Department will be an exhibit
of industrial, literary, and native work
prepared, under the direction of the
Superintendent of Indian Schools, by
the pupils of the different institutions.
This work, which will show the prac-
tical education the Government is giving
its wards, is to be displayed at the
headquarters of the Department of
Indian Education, West Hotel, Min
neapolis. An Indian girl’s mandolin
club, a band, and a baseball club,
will also be features of this Depart
ment that will attract much attention.
Interesting programs are being' pre
pared for each of these summer Schools
and from present indications the at
tendence will be the largest in the
history of Indian Institutes.

* Or BEEF I see before me,
The shank toward my hand? Come,
Let me clutch thee; I have thee not
And yet I see thee still. Art thou,
Leg of mutton, sensible of the inward
Craving I feel for thee, or art thou
Placed upon that spit to mock
My hunger?” I’ll endure it no longer,
But will straightway go to
