Haskell Prepares Indian Youth For Modern Community Life
Bv BOB HILGARDNER
"Listen! War drums on the prairie. The thud-thud of the war drums. The painted bodies; the cries of the women. The swing of the tomahawk; the flight of the arrow. The raid at the dawning; the war cry at dawning. The wail of the death song; the wail of the women."
The Indian war drums on the prairie are silent, but there are descend- ents of these ancient versions still.
The Indian war drums on the pra ents of those ancient warriors still living in Lawrence. They are the friendly students at the Haskell Indian institute located at the south end of Massachusetts street.
Students from 70 tribes and 30 states as well as Alaska are enrolled at the school. Indian tribes from the Alabama-Coushatta to the Zuni are represented and include Apache, Blackfeet, Cherokee, Comanche, Hopi, Kipapoo, Mohawk, Osage, Pawnee, Shoshone, and the Sioux. The Eskimo of Alaska are there, and the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and the Chipewa too. The Indian students come from all parts of the United States.
Some interesting people go to Haskell. Albert St. Clair of the Shoshone tribe from Ft. Washakie, Wyo, is a descendant of Sacajawae, the Bird Woman. Sacajawae led the Lewis and Clark expedition from the Mandan-Sioux tribe to the Columbia river in 1805.
The grandfather of Francene and Marline Eagle was White Eagle, the last, great chief of the Ponca Indians. Grace Putkuk, Eskimo, was born in an igloo north of Nome, Alaska. She completed her training in the commercial department at Haskell and has gone to work in the Indian office in Washington, D.C.
The Haskell Indian club gives programs, tribal dances, and pageants. The members are interested in perpetuating the tribal ceremonies of their forefathers. They have given programs at Winter hospital in Topeka and Wadsworth government hospital in Leavenworth. The group has also appeared in the American Royal parade in Kansas City, Mo.
A short film of the members doing a tribal dance was taken recently by the state of Missouri, and they appeared on a program for the national convention of physical education, health, and recreation in Kansas City. A pageant, "Teepee Tales of the Prairie," was presented as part of the Kansas Arts and Crafts festival in Lawrence in February.
In 1946, more than 15,000 persons saw the "Pagent of the Peace Pipe" presented in honor of Haskell men and women in World War II. A statue by Allan Houser, Apache Indian sculptor, now stands in the foyer of the Haskell auditorium as a memorial to the 33 Haskell men who lost their lives in the war. The statue, entitled "Comrade in Mourning," is of white Italian marble and shows an Indian with downcast eyes and a war bonnet at his feet.
On Sept. 1, 1884, the Indian Training school at Lawrence opened with 14 pupils enrolled. The school was named in 1890 in honor of Dudley C. Haskell, representative from Kansas and chairman of the house committee on Indian affairs. Haskell institute includes approximately 1,000 acres of land owned by the United States Indian service.
Some of the 100 buildings at Haskell are named after famous Indians such as Pocahontas, Winona, Keokuk, and Osceola, Tecumseh, and Hiawatha.
Haskell institute occupies a unique place among the secondary schools of the Indian service. It is the only institution which is authorized to offer two-year post-high school courses in advanced vocational work. Haskell also enrolls high school students from the 9th through the 12th grades. There are 750 pupils enrolled at the school. Twenty-five vocational courses in a variety of subjects are offered.
The basic purpose of the Haskel program is to prepare young Indian men and women to take part in the modern social and economic life of the nation. The training is also designed to prepare the student to return to Indian community life and to improve his social and economic condition as well as that of his people.
"Silent the thud-thud of the war drums. The war cries are gone and peace has come to the prairie. The Kiowa warriors dream of their young ones and ask for schools and instruction. They pledge their young folk that the-prairie may be the home always of freedom, liberty, and peace."
Haskell Indian institute carries on these traditions.

Demand Exceeds Supply, But Psychology Staff Adds Eight
In the face of a demand for professional psychologists which far exceeds the supply, the University has added eight new members to the staff of its psychology department.
Dr. Roger Barker, Dr. Fritz Heider, Dr. Herbert F. Wright, Dr. Milton Horowitz, Mrs. Grace Heider, Miss Margaret Riggs, James Simpson, and Mrs. Harriet Yeckel are teaching at the University for the first time this on the social doubles year.
Dr. Barker, new department chairman, explained that during the war a great deficit in professional psychologists appeared. Increased demands for psychologists for the treatment of behavior problems in hospitals and guidance clinics, and in business and industry, have also depleted the supply.
"One of the present problems of the department is to keep the graduate enrollment down to a level which can be handled adequately," Dr. Barker said.
48 Graduate Students
Forty-eight graduate students are enrolled in the department at present. Sixteen of these are students of clinical psychology, receiving their basic training here and special training at the Meninger foundation, Topeka.
The other 32 take all their work at the University, concentrating in four fields, child, social, clinical, and industrial psychology.
Dr. Barker came here from Clark university, Worcester, Mass. He specializes in the fields of child and social psychology. He received his doctor of philosophy degree at Stanford.
Takes Leave Of Absence
Dr. Heider has taken a leave of absence this year to work on theoretical problems of inter-personal relations on a Guggenheim fellowship. He came to the University from Smith college. Dr. Heider received his doctor's degree at the University of Graz in Austria. He is interested in theoretical psychology, particularly as it applies to perception and social psychology.
Dr. Wright is collaborating with Dr. Barker on a research project
Dr. Wright taught at Northwestern university before coming here. He specializes in the fields of child and theoretical psychology. He received his doctor's degree at Duke university.
on the social development of children. This project is supported by funds from the United States public health service.
Teaches General Psych
Mrs. Heider taught at the University of Massachusetts last year. She is teaching General Psychology
Dr. Horowitz received his degree at Stanford university and taught there before coming to Kansas. He specializes in experimental and social psychology.
Miss Riggs was chief psychologist at the Northampton State hospital in Massachusetts before coming to the University. She is working on her thesis for a degree at Harvard, and is teaching Abnormal Psychology.
Mr. Simpson taught at Willamette university, Salem, Ore., before coming here to work on his doctor's degree and teach General Psychology.
Mrs. Yeckel was chief psychologist at the Child Guidance clinic at Worchester, Mass. She is head of the psychological clinic here, and is studying for her doctor's degree.
Two Other Staff Members
Dr. Buelah M. Morrison and Dr. Anthony Smith are the other fulltime members of the department staff. Dr. Morrison has been at the University since 1924. Her fields are the history of psychology and child psychology.
Dr. Smith came here from the University of Illinois last year. He teaches Business Psychology and Statistics.
"It is largely due to the guidance of Dr. Morrison that so many new persons have been added with such ease," Dr. Barker said. "She has been a great help to the new members of the department."
All the raisins produced in the United States are grown in the San Joaquin valley in California. They constitute 34 per cent of the world's supply.
