INDIAN SCHOOL
WELL MANAGED
WRITER STATES
The editor of the Daily Times is in
receipt of the following communica
tion from Harwood Hall, superinten
dent of the Salem Indian School at
Chewawa, Oregon, which speaks for
itself:
I am advised that derogatory re
^ ports have been made by native Alas
kans concerning this school to the ef
fect that the food is insufficient and
that the students are overworked,
which has resulted in many desertions
and has been a source of worry to the
parents at home.
The real truth of these reports is
that a party of young men who live
in the neighborhood of Juneau entered
school last fall—all of them were pri
mary students, really men and too set
in their ways to take up school activ
ities and accept discipline necessary
in an institution of this kind, and they
soon grew tired of the routine and
some of them deserted.
Chemawa is one of the largest and
very best vocational schools maintain
ed by the United States government
and thousands of young men and wom
en throughout the entire northwest
have received their educations here.
Never in its history has it done bet
ter work than is now being done.
The food conforms to the depart
ment requirements and in addition the
products of the school garden, farm
and orchards of 422 acres are added.
♦ Indeed, the bill of fare is ample and
well cooked.
As to being overworked, all stu
dents are required to take up some
vocation—boys engineering, some
trade, farming, etc-, girls home eco
nomics, nursing, etc. Each year we
do secure certain students wTio are
homesick and make every kind of
representation to their parents and
friends derogatory to the school in
order to get home.
But I wish to assure all the people
^ interested that there is no better
course of study, or a more practical
course of work maintained in any in
stitution of a like nature in the en
tire United States today iha 1 Ohem
awa, and the students are admitted
here should consider themselves
lucky. A new rule is now in force
concerning admision of student.-.
Those sixteen years of age or over,
and not older than 21 years, must
* have completed sixth grade before
they can be enrolled. The students
who make the complaint invariably
are in first, second or third grades,
as was the case referred to as ap
pearing in your paper.
You will understand that the great
United States is endeavoring to help
its dependent people and we find a
good many who do not appreciate the
opportunity to secure an education
free, including board and clothing.
As regards to the intimation that
an investigation might be in order, I
desire to state that Honorable E. B.
Meritt, assistant commissioner of In
dian Affairs, visited the school last
week and gave it a most thorough
and careful inspection in every depart
ment of the institution and departed
with words of commendation to the
management, school in general as well
as student body. In fact we are “look
ed over” often and welcome it. If
there is any information regarding
this school of a public or private
character which you may wish either
for public or private use, any data
whatever, I will be pleased to give you
upon request.
