| Miss Irvine went to Downington, Monday, to visit the Edges
and Alice Cornelius.
December 7, 1888 INDIAN HELPER |
| On Monday, Alice Cornelius returned from her lovely
home at the Edges, Downingtown, rested over night and took the train the
next day with her sister, Lilly for their home in Seymour, Wisconsin.
Both girls will be missed by their many eastern friends who love them.
Alice has not been strong for some years and now is quite ill, although
able to travel. We trust she will pick up; as she breathes her native
air of Wisconsin. Lilly now expects to enter Alma College, Michigan,
in the Fall.

Julia Powlas writes from Oneida, Wisconsin, that since her return from Carlisle, she has spent a few days with Jemima Wheelock. And did she find Jemima a specimen of Indian indolence? Her friends here can much more easily believe what was actually the case, that that young lady, an apt pupil in her studies a next year's graduate, so far from allowing herself to settle into indolence, was out in the field with a reaping machine cutting wheat with her father and doing it well, too, as Jemima has a way of doing her work. This is not a girl who will spoil waiting for something to turn up. She was one of the pupil teachers at Carlisle, and showed quite as much aptitude at getting ideas into the heads of the younger children, as in reaping her father's wheat fields. One thing we may be sure of, when the higher education for the Indian comes, and come it surely will, Jemima, if living, will be on hand for it. And Julia went out to the field and begged to be allowed to try the reaping also; and she did. "I liked it very much," she says, "although that was the first time ever got on the reaper in all my life." Julia's own work is to begin in September. Then she is to open her school. She graduated here this summer and went
home to teach; and together with her diploma she carried away with her
that desire to do good work which she caught here. She has already begun
to plan for her schoolwork.

| MANY CARLISLE GRADUATES AND EX-STUDENTS HERE.
(Carlisle Evening Sentinel.) Not in the history of the Carlisle Indian School has such a large number of former students, graduates and friends of the institution attended the annual commencement exercises as was present this year. Many of these students come from afar off, and clear across the country, entailing many expense as well as much loss of time.

| Special Guests at Commencement.
ASIDE from the hundreds who came to each day's exer-cises from other portions of the State, or were the guests of townspeople and the local hotels, a large number were entertained at the school. The number of graduates and undergraduates, who have been educated at Carlisle, who returned to spend the week at the school was larger than ever before in its history. There was also a large representation of educated Indians who have been educated at other Government schools or in private schools. A delegation of prominent Indians from Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, who are in Washington on important business for their tribe, were also in attendance. There were fifty-two Indian visitors as guests of the school during the week. Following are those who were entertained at the school: Hon. John K. Tener, Governor of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Tener, of Harrisburg,
Pa.
