I might quote more recent instances. As late as 1879 the rank in,justice which deprived Victoria alid his band of Chiricahua Apaches of their honses and lands, in Grant County, N. Mex. (see Ladd's Story of New Mexico, p. 363; and Report of Commissioner of Indian Affairs, 1892, p. 370), brought on a relentless war. The cause? White men warlted the land which Victoria's band were settled upon and quietly e l l l t i v a t i ~ i g . Allowing the Apaches to be at the present time the worst Indians, what is their susceptibility to education? I may speak fromobserva-tion and from the t e s t imo~~ofy t he Government schools at Aibnqnerque, N. Mex.; Grand Junction, Colo.; and at Oarlisle, ?hpp!ch agree in ascribing to the Apaches saperior ability ill the acqtus~t~oofn knowl-edge, both scholastic and industrial. Shall I mention llamest Carlos Monteznma, a frill-blood Apache, a graduate of Illinois State Uni-versity and Uhicago 3feclieal College, and a regular physician in the employ of the Indian Bureall. And auother full blood, Antonio Apa.che, jn Harvard College. Is it said "these exceptional cases may be explamecl? , U V e r i l y . Their well-known environme~lts favored them. "But not every Apache mith favorable env~ronmeuts can be thus developed," do you say Y Just so; it is the same mith white boys, amone wholll the failures are nnmerous, often even with the most help-ful su%onndings. Do we need to be often renlinded of tho low condition of the Anglo- Saxon race a fern centuries ago? And of the condition of marly who now hold high rank at a period not so remote? In 111s History of Ire-land in the eighteellth century (chapters 5, 0, 'i), Nr.
