Itatistlcs show That He Is Past IB tering the Paths of tiv Illsation. That the Indian is leaving his native trail for the "white man's path" is well evidenced by statistics gathered from the annual reports of the aUnited "ta'es Indian agents, says Youth's Companion. A greatly increasing aumber of Indians on the reservations, or what have lately been reservations, can read, Nearly a hundred thousand of them have completely adopted the white men's dress. Almost all of them have discarded the original dress of the people of their tribes. Eleven hundred dwelling houses were built by Indians last year, and: the iudians on the reservations now possess more than 25,0( dwelling houses. They are, as a rule, no longer nomadic, no longer dwellers ia wiy wamrns. Externally, at least, they are rapidly adopting the ways of civiliza tion. Are they at the same time "'becoming civilized" in the true sense? It is trot possible to an',wer yes with confidence. They are learning to rend, to like in houses, and to wear white ;men's clothes; yet unfortunately, in some cases at least, the vices of ci.illztion seem likely to overpower some of the native virtues of the race. On sonme reservations in.temperance has in creased almost exactly in proportion to the disappearance of the character istics of the aboriginal red nman. To civilize means to endlow with the proper qualities of a citizen; •n' so fnr as the reading and holsp-.w:I iig Indian lacks these qualities, hli trans flrm.,tion into the outward semblance of a white man fails in its dhief pur pose. The dluty of the white people toward the Indian is far from being ended with imposing upon him the superficial marks of their civilization.
