60 THE CARLISLE SCHOOL FOR INDIAN PUPILS.

than all, is exhibited a desire to live and learn in
peace with all. Their thirst is for knowledge.

 

IN PURSUIT OF U. S&S TROOPS.

This Otto Zotom, a
young Kiowa, is a very
bright, promising boy.
He was sent to Carlisle
by his brother, now a
deacon in the Episcopal
Church, and a missionary
in the Indian country,
but formerly a prisoner
under the care of Captain
Pratt, at Fort Marion
(San Marco), Florida.

A study of horses, by
Otto, is interesting as
showing the development of ideas as regards pose
and proportions of equine anatomy, as they arise
naturally to the self-tutored mind of an Indian
boy, while his portrayal of an engagement with
a buffalo enlists our sympathies for the poor “ King
of the Plains.” Otto in his extreme generosity
wishes every one engaged in the encounter to en-
joy a shot that tells ; so that the glory of the whole
thing is most satisfying. The young artist has a
true love for his pencil, and such a painstaking in-
dustry that the world may yet hear from the
Indian boy at Carlisle. All success to him—
young Otto Zotom!

In closing this meagre account of Carlisle School
and its workings, so different from what I long to
give, I can only express the earnest wish that
every reader of this volume could visit and

 

see the institution for themselves. If ever your
wanderings call you in the vicinity of the quiet
town, grasp the opportunity, I beg of you. You
will never regret it. You may be sure of a cordial
welcome, a capital chance to inspect and criticise,
and you will come away enlightened on many
points. Such visits are worth hundreds of magae
zine articles and countless letters from enthusiastic
friends. “Seeing zs believing,” now as it has ever
been.

I am glad to announce that the Fair under the
auspices of Mrs. J. Huntington Wolcott and her
corps of young ladies in Boston has netted for
Carlisle the grand sum of two thousand dollars.
On the strength of it, Captain Pratt writes me that
he expects to undertake the care of five boys and
five girls from the Pueblo village of Isleta, N. M.

Pi Think of it! Ten chil-
dren rescued by these
noble, womanly efforts,
from savage degradation
to grow up into good
citizenship.

How many other fairs
can be held? if we cane
not raise two thousand
dollars to educate ten, we
may gather in two hun-
dred dollars; and who
can estimate the influence
of one Indan child at

Carlisle? The hearts of his tribe go with him, and
are awakened to gratitude, and the cementing of
