EDUCATION FOR INDIANS “MOTHER KATHERINE’ DREXEL SPENDS MILLIONS IN THIS WORK. Has Founded Many Schools, Employ- ing Indians to Build Them. Only Full-bload Indian Caudolic Priest in the World Many thousands of Indian chikiren in Oklahoma and Indian Territory have been educated by means eof the “Drexel millions,” a large portion of which has for years been devoted to the cause of Indian education by Mother Katherine, formerly Miss Kate Drexel, of Philadelphia, sister of John H. Drexel, banker and sugar magnate, and closely related to the others of the same name who have made it famous in the world of finance. It was Mother Katherine who started the In- dian school at Chilocco, which has pow been taken in charge by the government, and made the principal “Indian training school of the South- west. The two schools at Pawhuska, in Pottowatomie county, are also mon- uments of her bounty. She keeps in close touch with her work, and visits the Oklahoma schools in which she is interested at least once a year. She is usually accompanied by her sister, who is also deeply in | known beipg the | Muskogee, Which was founded In 1891. [1t was beset hy many ditficulties du ing its earlier years, but survived them all and 1s now a flourishing institutien, The institutions which have pros { pered the most, and in whieh Mother | Katherine has taken the greater inter lest, are, however, naturally these among the tribes which were already under the influence of Cathollie teach ings, the and the TIeottn wiatomies, instructed in the before their removal from Southern Kansas, by the fathers at the old Osace missions, now St, Paul, first un der the directions of the venerable Father Schumacher, and later under Father Paul Ponziglione, a near rela tive of the royal family of Italy, whe made many journeys among the | Osages after their removal to the terri {tory. Father Scroll, of Independence, Kan., also used occasionally to follow {the trails through what Is now Okla- | homa as far west as Fort Sill The beginning of the work among | the Pottawatomies was also made as | far back as 1871, whem Father Robot, a French missionary, offered his ser | vices to the bishop of Little Rock, who [then had jurisdiction over this terri tory, and struck out into the Indian [eountry. He settled first at Atoke, but {in 1874 moved to Sacred Heart, found {ing the famous abbey of the Benedic | tines there, which is the only mon Osages been Catholie “MOTHER KATHERINE” DREXEL.

All of the millions she has expended for In dian education kave been employed under direction of Inte I Yer ment, as her long study of the Indiar problem recognized have made her one of the best authorities on the in the country. Planned the Buildings Personally. The St. Louis and St. John at Pawhuska, both founded by Mother Katherine a number of years ago, are good examples of the work she |s ing for the education of the Indians, loth have handsome and commodions buildings, planned personally by Mother Katherine, and have hundreds of Osage children their firs knowledge of the white man’s learn Many of the teachers are themselves Indians, graduates of these or similar schools. whe have entered with en- thusiasm Into the education of fellow tribesmen. The Osage schools receive some assistance from the gov ernment, and their scope greatly widened by the orders now in effect from the agent's office that Osage child of school age must be in in order to draw its share at the annuity payments, Used Indian Labor, White Mother Katherine's henefac- tions have always liberal, it her plan to let the Indians do the work the rior Art 0 18 to subject 1 uo school heen Is whenever possible, in the construction | of bulldimgs and work of a similar haracter. When the Sacred [Heart school burned five years ago, and was rebuilt Pottawatomie and Kickapoo Indians made the brick for the new structure, and did much of the work towards its construction, working, of course, under the direction of a white contracter. Much of the malntenance of this scheel, which Is claimed to be the oldest west of the Mississippi river, is borne by Mether Katherine, and it wis by her visits to this school that she discovered Albert Negnhinguet, the fullblood Pettawatomie boy educated by her, and who is now the only full blood Indian Catholic priest in the world, After his graduation at Saered Heart, she pald his expenses through Carlisle and the Catholic university at Washington, finally finishing his edn eation at Rome, from whence he re turned only two years ago, to take up his work rmong his own people, Is Founder of Several Schools.
