and preachers. As it is
desirable that those teachers and preachers should be taught in
English studies as well as in the vernacular, these classes may be
conducted in connection with contract schools, yet so as not to
interfere in any way with the regular curriculum in the English
language.

"Ramona Days," is the title of a neatly printed pamphlet of
forty-three pages, being the January number of a quarterly, published
by the Indian Department of the University of New Mexico. This Indian
school is named in honor of Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson, who has rendered
such valuable services to the Indians in setting forth in thrilling
terms their wrongs, and in pleading so pathetically for their rights.
The Ramona school is under the efficient supervision of Pres. H.O.
Ladd, and is aided in part by the American Missionary Association.

The pamphlet is not a catalogue of the school, but contains a variety
of interesting matter on Indian affairs, the titles of some of the
articles being; "Wiser Methods," "Famous Apache Chiefs," "Treaty
Obligations to the Navajoes," "A Recent Movement Toward Indian
Civilization," "Ramona Memorial," etc., etc. There are also letters
from the teachers, and two cuts, one representing the proposed
Memorial Building, Ramona. Mr. Ladd's {123} work lies largely among
that remarkably promising race of Indians, the Apaches, and those who
wish to know more about them would do well to have the pamphlet. It
can be had by addressing Rev. H.O. Ladd, Santa Fe, New Mexico;
subscription price, 50 cents for the four numbers.

The supreme question in English politics is the unity of the empire.
The problem of the mother country is, How may the scattered colonies
be joined in one body whose heart shall be London? All the other
questions of the island-empire are but parts of this. This in turn is
forced into prominence by the under-current of the world's aspiration
for larger liberty. "The world no longer for the few, but for the
many," is the watchword of an increasing number in all the nations.
How to maintain the manhood of her subjects, and yet not to force the
dismemberment of the empire, is the question uppermost in old England.

With us, the problem is not one of scattered colonies but of divergent
people. There is in the United States the double problem of how to
