A Residence To-diy o< the Reservation
k Gross Error.
The following story is being told
of one of the members of the legislature
who was much impressed with the
dignity of his position. One night his
wife woke him and whispered. “O,
John, there are burglars in the
house.” “You must be mistaken my
dear,” said her husband. “There
may be a few in the Senate, but in the
house —oh, no; the idea is simply
preposterous. ’ ’

Mr. Fielder represents the Indians.
The many friends of Mr. J. H.Dortch,
chief of th ' Education division in the
Indian Office, will be pained to learn
of the affliction and sorrow that he has
passed through during the past few
weeks. From March 13 to April 15.
Mr. Dortch was confined to his home
with a very serious attack of erysipe
las, so bad in fact, that grave doubts
existed as to his recovery. During the
same time his wife passed througn an
acute attack of pneumonia. Before
either had recovered their oldest
daughter was taken with brain fever,
and after a short illness of a little over
a week passed away. Surely, Mr.and
Mrs.Dortch have been sorely afflicted,
and we know that their many friends
throughout the service, will extend
heartfelt sympathy in the hours of
bereavement. — The Weekly Review.

the 1909 meeting of the Department of
Indian Education, which will be held
at Denver, Colorado, July sto 9, in-
clusive; coincident with the annual
convention of the N. E. A.
An inportant feature of the Indian
meeting
will be the demonstration
lessons, which will be presented by
experienced teachers with classes of
Indian pupils, showing how the class
room and industrial work may be
closely correlated.
A number of leaders in educational
lines will address the sessions of the
Indian Department, on subjects bear'
ing directly on the immediate and
practical needs of the Indian.
An exhibition of class-room work, as
well as specimens of native arts and
crafts, wil' enable employees to re
many profitable ideas and
suggestions from a study or the work
in the various schools.

Employee* will also have the op
portunity of attending' the general
sessions of the N. E. A., as well as
the meetings of the verioiis departments
of the association. Many of the topics
to be discussed at these sessions—part
icularly those of the departments of
child study, kindergarten, elementary,
manual training, and agriculture—are
closely related to problems often met
in the Indian school service.
Special rates will be granted by the
railroads to Denver and return, part
iculars of which can be had by inquir
ing of local ticket agent. A large
number of delightful side trips into the
Rockies and other points of interest
may be made from Denver at a nominal

ranging a service of entertainments,
and it is safe to say that employees
attending the meeting will enjoy a

visit.
The superintendent of the Morris
School has received orders to close up
the school at the end of the present
year, preparatory to turning the plant
over to the state of Minnesota. The
pupils will be transferred to other
schools, or returned horns as parents
desire.
