A small exhibit was sent by this o5ce last winter to the exposition at Paris, to form part of the educational exhibit of the United States. The assigned space was three cases. One case was filled with photo-graphs of various Indian schools showing buildings and grounds and pupils engaged in crafts taught in the schools. With these were arranged class-room papers showing the intellectual progress and abil-ity of Indian youth from the kindergarten to the normal and business classes; also their skill in drawing and designing. The other two cases contained articles from the school workshops, sloyd, tinware, harness and shoes, horseshoes and blaclwmith tools, specimens of painting and printing and of carpentry with working drawings, and a model steam engine; also school uniform for boys and girls and fine plain needle-work, embroidery and lace. On shelves below were volumes of class-room papers sufficient to furnish to any interested student of such matters a fair idea of the course and methods of study pursued in our Indian schools and the proficiency and average work of entire classes. Above the cases, to give decorative color effect and an Indian individ-uality to the whole exhibit, were Indian blankets, matting, baskets, plaques, and a small hark canoe. These were grouped around a fine, large crayon head of an Indian in full native regalia, the work of the young Winnebago artist, Angel Decora. A leaflet was prepared for general distribution at the exposition and was printed at the Carlisle school. It gives a brief r6snm6, with sta-tistics, of the policy, the personnel, the finances, and the educational system of the Indian service, especially the latter. Jurors have stated that the exhibit received much attention and favorable comment, and that it was specially timely because the whole matter of race education is now uppermost among the French, and they appreciated the oombiuatiou of theoretical and practical training which was exemplified. The exhibit received a Grand Prix |
