Five years ago Captain Pratt. U.
S. A., superintendent of the Carlisle
Indian school, visited Sitka and on
his return took with him four of our
boys. They entered Carlisle, taking
advantage of every opportunity, and
this summer they have all returned
bright, earnest young men fully
equipped for life's service and not
at all spoiled by their education and
contact with the white man's ways.
Paul White is with his uncle finishing
his boat shop. Thomas Walton holds
a position as clerk iu W. P. Mills &
Co.'s big store in town. William
Jackson is working in the mill for
the same compauv. and Alonzo Pat
ton has returned to finish his studies
at Carlisle. The criticism so often
heard that the education we give
these children unfits them for life
among their people does not apply
in this case, for these four young
men have come back and entered
right luto the lives of their own peo
ple and are an Inspiration and an
unlifting power to them. ? The Sitka
Thllnget.
