Chapter IV: Part 4

All our Indians are half-breeds (with but few exceptions, and these generally confined to very old people) wear citizens’ dress, and a large majority of them live in very comfortable houses, made of hewed logs, and are furnished with cook-stoves, tables, seats, and other housekeeping conveniences.

There are some forty frame buildings occupied by our Indians, several of which are two stories high and painted, all having more or less land under cultivation.

Schools.

During ten months of the year--(the Manual Labor School eleven months)--three schools have been in successful operation: the Manual Labor School, the Good-Will Boarding and Day-School, and the Ascension School. The Manual Labor School building, situated one and a half miles from the agency, was originally provided with seats for fifty-six scholars, but the sleeping accommodations for this number of children have never been sufficient, and during the past year our carpenter has made an addition of several new sleeping rooms, and improved the condition of the old ones, which has added very much to the comfort and convenience of the pupils.

There are only four or five boys of sufficient age to be serviceable about the farm or garden. When out of school they were kept at work preparing the ground for seeding and cultivating, besides attending to the stock and farm work generally, all being done under the immediate supervision of the principal, who is, fortunately, a good farmer.

After the regular school hours, the girls are taught sewing of all kinds; cutting, making and trimming dresses, repairing garments; darning, knitting and use of sewing machine; also all kinds of housework, cooking, and the work of the dairy. After service in the evening, instructions are given in music, instrumental and vocal, in which both boys and girls take an unusual interest and show a marked improvement during the year. Mr. Tuckey, the present principal, assumed the duties of his office May 1st, and has been untiring in his exertions to advance the pupils in their studies, and, for the short time which he has been with them, appears to have been very successful. The two female assistants having had two years’ experience here, and been deeply interested in their pupils, have proved very valuable and successful teachers, and have the confidence and respect of the parents.

The time of the matron is fully occupied from six A. M. to nine P. M., in looking after and providing for the numerous wants of the pupils, and in this difficult and laborious work has proved to be very efficient.

The Good Will Mission Boarding and Day-School is situated one and three quarter miles from the agency; the children are rationed and supplied in part with clothing from the warehouse, but the other expenses--salaries, etc--are borne by the A. B. C. F. M. This school has accommodated as many as thirty-two scholars, part of them boarding at houses in the vicinity.

The day-school, situated at Ascension, about six miles from the agency, had, some months, thirty scholars; they live in the vicinity of the school-house, and are quite regular in attendance.

In addition to these three schools, two others were opened, and reading, writing and arithmetic in Dakota were taught by Indian teachers, during two months in the spring, with an average daily attendance of eighteen scholars each. These schools were opened at the earnest request of several of the leading men in their vicinity, in the form of a petition to the agent. These parents seemed in earnest in their efforts to have the schools opened, and showed a continued interest in them by frequent visits during the time they were in operation.

The estimated number of children of school-going age on this reserve is three hundred, and we have two brick school-houses, built in 1873, at an estimated cost of $600 each--one situated about one and a half miles south of the agency, and the other at the Mayasan, twenty miles distant; both are provided with improved seats, tables, etc., and will accommodate forty scholars each; neither of them has been used, for school purposes to any extent since they were built, but allowed to remain unoccupied.

THE THIRTY-THIRD VOLUME

OF THE

AMERICAN MISSIONARY,

1879.

We have been gratified with the constant tokens of the increasing appreciation of the MISSIONARY during the year now nearly past; and purpose to spare no effort to make its pages of still greater value to those interested in the work which it records.

Shall we not have a largely increased subscription list for 1879?

A little effort on the part of our friends, when making their own remittances, to induce their neighbors to unite in forming Clubs, will easily double our list, and thus widen the influence of our Magazine, and aid in the enlargement of our work.

Under the editorial supervision of Rev. GEO. M. BOYNTON, aided by the steady contributions of our intelligent missionaries and teachers in all parts of the field, and with occasional communications from careful observers and thinkers elsewhere, the “AMERICAN MISSIONARY” furnishes a vivid and reliable picture of the work going forward among the Indians, the Chinamen on the Pacific Coast, and the Freedmen as citizens in the South and as missionaries in Africa.

Patriots and Christians interested in the education and Christianizing of these despised races are asked to read it, and assist in its circulation. Begin with the next number and the new year. The price is only Fifty Cents per annum.

SUBSCRIPTION DEPARTMENT.

Besides giving news from the Institutions and Churches aided by the Association among the Freedmen in the South, the Indian tribes, the Chinese on the Pacific Coast, and the Negroes in Western Africa, it will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting the races among which it labors, and will give a monthly summary of current events relating to their welfare and progress.

We publish =25,000= copies per month, and shall be glad to increase the number indefinitely, knowing from experience that to be informed of our work is to sympathize with, and desire to aid it.

The Subscription Price will be, as formerly, =Fifty Cents a Year, in Advance=. We also offer to send =One Hundred copies to one address=, for distribution in Churches or to clubs of subscribers, for $30., with the added privilege of a Life Membership to such person as shall be designated. The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on Page 318. Donations and subscriptions should be sent to

H. W. HUBBARD, Ass’t Treas.,
56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.

ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.

A limited space in our Magazine is devoted to Advertisements, for which our low rates and large circulation make its pages specially valuable. Our readers are among the best in the country, having an established character for integrity and thrift that constitute them valued customers in all departments of business.

To Advertisers using display type and Cuts, who are accustomed to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES” for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior printing, with =no extra charge for these cuts=, are advantages readily appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of business announcements.

We are, thus far, gratified with the success of this department, and solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to advertise.

Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in relation to advertising should be addressed to

J. H. DENISON, Adv’g Agent,
56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.

☞ =Our friends who are interested in the Advertising Department of the “American Missionary” can aid us in this respect by mentioning, when ordering goods, that they saw them advertised in our Magazine.=

Transcriber’s Notes:

Punctuation and spelling were changed only where the error appears to be a printing error. Inconsistent hyphenation was retained as there are numerous authors. The punctuation changes are too numerous to list; the others are as follows:

“Atlanla” changed to “Atlanta” on page front01 (Atlanta, Ga.--Students’ Reports)

“Benjamim” changed to “Benjamin” on page 353 (Mrs. Benjamin James, of the Mendi Mission)

“he” changed to “the” on page 353 (The institutions of the Association are excellently located.)

“ou rchildren” changed to “our children” on page 373 (but will bring in our children)

“contrymen” changed to “countrymen” on page 376 (Why is it that your countrymen come)

“Riudge” changed to “Rindge” on page 394 (Rindge. Cong. Ch. and Soc.)

“Fon du Lac” changed to “Fond du Lac” on page 396 (Fond du Lac: Ladies’ Miss. Soc.)

Ditto marks in tables were replaced with the text they represent, in order to help the text line up properly in all media.
