Vocational training Is most need

! said that although he has had !it(le
opportunity as yet to study coridl
tlons among the Indians he is al
ready assured that the progress of
the race will bo by skill in voca
tional work. It is a safeguard
against race prejudice, he said, and
gives the Indian an opportunity to
he independent or the whites and
to develop his natural talents. Dr.
Tigert believes the Indian should
ho taught the fundamentals of read
ing, writing ami civil government,
and should he trained in vocations
or handiwork and be t&iignt the
dignity of labor.

Dr. Tigert said that while he has
staled Ills opinions at the present

as he has had little opportunity so
far to make a study of the condi
