GET A HEAP LEARN Indian School at Bena is Making Good Progress Un- der Henry L. Warren. Bena, Feb. 11—The govern- ment Indian school here is com- paratively well attended this win- ter, and the advance being made by the scholars of this-institu- tion is very encouraging. There are now 61 pupils in attendance at the school, and the officials in charge have the promise of quite a few more before the winter ends. The buildings used by the school are located directly north of the G. N. depot. about a half mile, on the banks of Lake Win- nibigoshish, overlooking the most beautiful partof the lake. Henry L. Warren is the principal of the school, as well as being the sub- agent of the Indian department at this point. Mr. Warren isa graduate of the government school at Carlisle, and is regard- ed as one of the most efficient teachers in the service in the northwestern states. Mrs. War- ren is matron of the institution, and the other teachers and em- ployes are as follows: Mrs. F. Tibbets, seamstress; Miss Spruce, cook; Miss Smith, Jaun- dress. In addition, therearea number of young Indian men and women Hoing various duties about the premises. The Bena school is well advanced among the subordinate institutions, as the studies comprising the sixth grade are taught and completed here, after which it is necessary for the goverament ward to en- ter either the Carlisle or some other advanced school. It is a commendable fact that the par- ents of the Indian children are taking a much more advanced idea relative to the schools. For several months after the Bena school was opened: for its initial term, it was impossible to’secure more than a half dozen young reds to attend with any degree of regulavity. However, Major Scott and Mr. Warren haye over- come the prejudices of the In- dians and they are now sending their children to school as regu- larly as possible, to get “heap learn.” Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear.
