Chief Wizi, on hearing of the death of his adopted son at Hampton, called his tribe together and said: “If only one of our children returns to us with knowledge, we shall be repaid for the loss of all the others.” While this eastern work at Carlisle and Hampton is incidental to the general educational effort which must be made at the West, it is, more than anything else, pushing the Indian question to a proper settlement by creating public sentiment. For a Congressman to see an Indian hoeing corn, does more good than piles of documentary evidence. The hundreds of clear-headed, hard-handed young red-skins who will, ere long, be settled among the tribes, will, we think, be strong enough to sustain each other and to teach the rest. They will not return home scared by our great guns and arsenals, but stimulated by contact with the spirit that lies at the bottom of our progress. They must see civilization to comprehend it. What is given for them will come back with usury. Not the least return to us may be the educational methods which, inspired by exigencies and unchecked by tradition, shall be worked out to meet the emergencies thrust upon the country by the destruction of the buffalo, which has brought the Indian to face the issue of civilization or destruction. * * * * * THE CHINESE. * * * * * “CALIFORNIA CHINESE MISSION.” Auxiliary to the American Missionary Association.
