Industries League, with headquarters in Boston, works along similar
lines.

The Indian Bureau reports that over $600,000 worth of Navajo blankets
were made during the last year, and that prizes will be awarded this
fall for the best blankets made of native wool. At Pima $15,000 worth of
baskets and $5,000 worth of pottery was made and sold, and a less amount
was produced at several other agencies.

Another modern development, significant of the growing appreciation of
what is real and valuable in primitive culture, is the instruction of
the younger generation in the Government schools in the traditional arts
and crafts of their people. As schooling is compulsory between the ages
of six and sixteen years, and from the more distant boarding-schools the
pupils are not even allowed to go home for the summer vacation, most of
them would otherwise grow up in ignorance of their natural heritage, in
legend, music, and art forms as well as practical handicrafts. The
greatest difficulty in the way is the finding of competent and
sympathetic teachers.

At Carlisle there are and have been for some years two striking
exemplars of the native talent and modern culture of their race, in
joint charge of the department of Indian art. Angel DeCora was a
Winnebago girl, who was graduated from the Hampton school and from the
art department of Smith College. She was afterward a pupil of the famous
American illustrator, Howard Pyle, and herself made a distinctive
success in this field, having illustrated several books and articles on
Indian subjects. Some of her work has appeared in _Harper's Magazine_
and other high-class periodicals. She had a studio in New York City for
several years, until invited to teach art at the Carlisle school, where
she has been ever since.

A few years ago she married William Dietz (Lone Star), who is half
Sioux. He is a fine, manly fellow, who was for years a great football
player, as well as an accomplished artist. The couple have not only the
artistic and poetic temperament in full measure, but they have the
pioneer spirit and aspire to do much for their race. The effective cover
designs and other art work of the Carlisle school magazine, _The Red
Man_, are the work of Mr. and Mrs. Dietz, who are successfully
developing native talent in the production of attractive and salable
rugs, blankets, and silver jewelry. Besides this, they are seeking to
discover latent artistic gifts amon
