DAR Plans Fund
To Aid Students
In Indian School
A special fund for American
Indian students at Bacone College,
Muskogee, Okla., is being proposed
by the Daughters of the American
Revolution according to an an
nouncement by Mrs. Julius Y.
Talmadge, president general.
Nine students without money
have been allowed to remain at the
college by the authorities in the
hope that some means would be
found to defray the actual expenses
over and above what the students
can earn. When these facts were
brought to the attention of the
American Indians Committee of the
DAR, Mrs. Loren Edgar Rex, chair
man of the committee, proposed
establishment of the fund.
"More,than 365 Indians went from
Bacone to serve in the armed forces
in the war,” Mrs. Rex explained.
“Sixteen are now represented by
Gold Stars. In memory of these
students who made the supreme
sacrifice, we are raising the fund and
an additional fund is to be set aside
every year to keep this a perpetual
scholarship for Bacone College.”
Mrs. Talmade has emphasized the
need for education for many Ameri
can Indians. To many Indians the
war brought first realization of the
importance of a knowledge of the
English language. Indians who
served in the armed forces wrote
home to their fathers urging that
the younger children learn to speak,
read and write English.
Mrs. Rex pointed out that in
Arizona there are upward of 14,000
Indian children who have never had
any English teaching.

District DAR, will honor Mrs. Roy
