STATEMENT OF POLICY
IN the present issue of this
newspaper there will be found
several articles prepared by
Navahos. The express pur
pose of this publication is to:
(I) provide a medium for the
dissemination of information
among the uneducated mem
bers of the tribe; (2) pro
vide a medium of exchange
wherewith thinking Navahos
can share their views with
others of their tribesmen on a
reservation-wide basis. All
articles prepared by Navahos
shall carry the name of the
author, and shall be accom
panied by an English summary.
The views expressed in such
articles do not necessarily re
present those of this Agfency,
nor of the editor. It is our
hope that an ever increasing
number of Navahos will con
tribute regularly, with the end
in view of ultimately making
this publication a paper by
and for the Navaho people.

The people of the western reservation are solidly
behind those who are trying to increase our school facili
ties. We want adequate schools, and we want a vocat
ional training program like that which we had formerly.
With the little schooling I have had, I have worked for
the government now for 17 years. I have worked in a
number of places over the reservation, and in a number
of capacities. In school I learned baking, wagon repair,
blacksmithing, and dairying. At present I am the baker
here as the Tuba City school. My children are growing
up speaking English, and I have great hopes of their con
tinuing their education through college. Education is the
only answer to our problems, because we can make a liv
ing by means of i.t, and it is a passport to the world out
side the reservation. Let those who have no schooling,
and who can no longer hope to get an education continue
to live on livestock. But let's take them by the hand and
give them all the heJp we can so they will not get any
farther behind than necessary.
