The Indian
Is Held From
Developing;
He Must Get
Fair Play
By
ARTHUR C.
PARKER.
Secretary and
Treasurer
of the
National
Indian
Conference
eVKRY thoughtful student of human development believes
that the INDIAN POSSESSES EVERY ABILITY
AND CAPACITY FOR DEVELOPMENT and ihat h.
is capable of any attainment possible for men provided his
environment is made normal. This postulates that the Indian is equal
in inherent capacity and therefore NOT AN INFERIOR. Many
mistakes and much misery have been produced by dogmatically as
serting the contrary.
Hampered by a false environment and artificial social conditions,
though necessary to restrain him, the Indian has found it DIFFI
CULT TO DEVELOP ALONG NORMAL LINES. The edu
cation, civilization ami incentive came from without and not from
within.
The INDIAN IS A CAPABLE, USEFUL AMERICAN
when he is permitted to be. There can be little doubt that the ma
jority of Americans desire justice and progress for the Indian.
Americans, as a rule, believe in FAIR PLAY. As the law
stands this is now difficult to give. An uncertain and indetermined
status makes it possible for dishonest interests to prev upon the In
dian so affected. There has often been tho lack of fair play and often
no redress. The LAW BLOCKS THE WAY.
? * *
THE INDIAN HAS NEVER BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SEARCHING
SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY. BASIC CAUSES FOR CONDITIONS HAVE
NEVER BEEN STUDIED: HENCE THE "PROBLEM- THERE MUST
BE A NEW BEGINNING. SCIENTIFIC SYSTEM MUST SUPPLANT
DISORDER.
American Wives Don't
Make Best Mothers
By Dr. ANNA I. VON 5HOLLY of New York Ctty
CHE AMERICAN MOTHER IS IQNORANT OF THE PROPER,
CARE TO GIVE HER CHILD. AND IT 18 NEITHER THE
VERY RICH NOR THE VERY POOR. BUT THE GREAT BULK
OF THE WOMEN WHO MOST NEED INSTRUCTION.
? * m
The dispensaries, the visiting nurses and other agencies do manage
to give a certain amount of training to the poor mother, and the
wealthy woman usually employs a highly trained nurse, perhaps two
or three of them, and a skilled physician.
But the MAJORITY OF MOTHERS fall between these two
eategories. Many of them have married young and, coming from fam
ilies of one or two children, have not even had the practical experi
ence of mothering a small brother or sister. When a baby conies to
this young wife she is HELPLESSLY IOXORANT.
Other women have put off their marriage for a number of years,
during which they were engaged in some brvadwinning occupation.
They become mothers when they have reached a certain maturity,
but "what more of PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF CHILD
HYGTEXF is their*?
