Conscience is the igreat factor which distinguishes man from animal.” eee DR. BAIRD’S ADDRESS The regular work of the Native .-T. A. was postponed in order to give Dr. L. O. Baird, who was honor guest and speaker, an oppor- tunity to see the social and religious work in which the Government school is interested. =~ Dr. Baud spent Monday morning going over the scholastic work with Mrs. Davis and expressed himself well pleased with conditions. He especially com- plimented the little folks in their self-confrol in the face of confus- ion attending the change of pro-' pram and- presencc of visitors, as/ the work of all classes was bwugh:‘ to his attention. “Freedom” was the topic of Dr. Baird's address. Quoting the Bible, | “Ye Called for Freedom,” Dr. Baird | showed that the only freedom is| in strict obedience to the law and| that the narrow path is the best| path and that one is only free| when doing right. He put a new | interpretation on taking a pledge. | “It is not destroying freedom but rather a step toward it. The thought left is, The Narrow Way is the Free Way,” he said. ‘Another point stressed was life's goal. He cited the young man starting out in life, auctioning bLis life to the highest bidder. After declining the bids of Sinful Pleas- | ure, Education, Success and Fame,| he sells to Service and marches| into the future, free. 1 Harry Willard gave a short talk; on early Indian conditions and con- | trasted them with the present, es- | pecially regarding homes.
