NATIVE SCHOOL EXHIBIT
BRINGS PUPILS PRAISE
With the work of the kinder
jgarten. sewing and manual training
depar'aiontg ofi display, all produced
by children, none of whom is older
than fourteen years, the annual ex
hibit of the United States native
school at Haines last Saturday
won praise from all who visited the
school exhibit rooms.
Neatness of the Indian children,
as shown in all their work, was
what caused most comment. School
children are likely to daub ink on
their fingers and keeping copy
Dooks clean is a tremendous bug
bear, but the pupils of the native
school had on exhibit copy books
without a smudge in them.
Aptitude in Drawing
Free hand drawings of the chil
dren also attracted, a deal of at
tentipu from visitors. .Many of the
pupils are greatly interested In
drawiiv and their work showed real
talent.
Iu the kindergarten exhibit were
displayed specimens of the kid
dies' accomplishments in, paper
foldiiu, cards sewing and. block con
struction. Dresses, shirt waists,
middv blouses hemstiched pillow
cases aud handkerchiefs, and em
broidtred laundry bags were some
of th.e articles shown t>y. the sewing
deuartment.
All of them would have delighted
any lc-ver of nedele work, but one
article especially drew the atten
tion of the visitors. It was £
child's dress, made by a nine
year old Indian girl, e>er» stitci
in it, from hem to buttonholes.
X»ble Given To Cliurch
Tho stork of the boys came In thf
manual training department. Then
wero displayed tables for the li
brary, stands for magazines anc
books, bookcases, and, what al
wayg appeals to a boy, Bleds anc
bobsleds. Several checker board:
were also among the exhibits.
Most admired of all the sample!
of the boys' skill in woodwork, wai
i3hed and with wonderfully carve<
a ccmmunion table, smoothly pol
legs. Members of the class mad<
it and the school has presented 1
to the Presbyterian church at Kluk
wan.
Tluitl Yearly Display
Xlie display of the school'i
work was the third annual exhibit

pal of the school, who has Just con
eluded her fourth, year at th<

the sole teacher. The exhibit wen

made by the children, since the first
exhibit three years ago, drew a

Off To Fishing Camps

close of the school year at the
native school. With the beginning
of vacatioa days, all the Indian
children old. enough to work, have
gone to fishing camps, where they
will be employed this summer.

native boats in which the people

Shanghai is the most western cit;
of the far east. There is a greai

grass huts they have their churches,
always very old and very beautiful.
The big steel church in Manila was
brought from Europe a little at a
time and fitted together. It took
over fifty years to build it, I under
stand.
When I arrived in Manila,1 martial
law was still on. One could not
go out after six in the evening.
Uuprds were every hundred yards or
so. I lived in the walled city a
sUcr*. time. The streets are far
row and paved with, cobbles. Our
alleys in the states are the width
of tbo streets in, the Walled City.
In The Walled Citj
Tbe immense walls and the old
mc?; around them wag to keep out
invaders. New Manila, outside tbe
Walled City, has wide streets and
every thing a big citjr has. The
pooula'ion is about half a million.
My next trip to the Philippines
was about eight years later. We
were stationed three days by boat
south of Manila, on the Island of
Lev to. The name of our post was
Camp Bumpus. We were near the
equator and right in the typhoon
bpl:. My experiences in. typhoons
wero many; and thrilling f s we wen*
through sixe very bad ones. One
of our soldiers was killed outright
and nearly al the houses on the
Island were blown down or into the
ocean.
Where The Wind Blows
One lit>le incident I remember. |
We relieved the colored soldiers.
I asked one of them about our new
post He replied, "Why lady, when
the wind blows, our barracks and
men are blown right into the ocean
and one has to lie down, and hug
the earth or a tree for safety."
I thought "My, what a fib."
Bu< T found out that a typhoon
1» so bad one can't describe it and'
do it Justice. I lived two years
a* Camp Bumpus. The natives of
' Levte are called the Visayans. They
have a very pretty custom. At ves
oers there is always a pretty; scene
when the hush of prayer comeg over
