NATIONAL Y.V.C. A. OFFICER PAYS HIGH TRIBUTETO FRIENDS WORKER AMONG INDIANS
A letter, paying high tribute to the work among the Indians in the southwest of Esther Ruger, .sister of Mrs. Amelia R. Lindley, was recently received at the Friends Central offices here by Miss Ruthanna Simms, executive secretary of the Friends board of home missions, from Miss Bertha Eckert, secretary of the Indian department of the national board of the Young Women's Christian association. Miss Eckert accompanying and in co-operation with Dr. Thomas Jesse
Jones of the Phelps-Stokes fund, re
cently completed an educational survey among the southwestern Indians
which was undertaken by the United States department of education. The department selected Miss Eckert and Dr. Jones to do this work because of the intimate knowledge of racial conditions now existing among the American Indians. It was during this survey that Miss Eckert first noticed the work of Esther Ruger, Friends home missionary In that territory. Her comment in the letter received by Miss Sirams follows: Enthusiastic Over Work "You will be glad to know that the government people, from Mr. Peairs to the government farmers, are most enthusiastic over Esther Ruger's work at Shaw-nee. They say that the first
time she went out to the 'Big Jim Band' they ordered her not to return, but she went back the next day and after a little discovered1 the Indian names of some of the old people and called them by those names. "Of course, the Indians were very much pleased with that and now they call her by the Indian name which means 'The Only One'! She found that some of the public schools were about to bar the Indian children from attendance because they were so dirty. She got those children together, cleaned them up, and found clothes for all of them, so the teachers in the public schools were satisfied, and now those Indian children are in school today.

Indian schools for the western side of the state, says that she is doing
the best kind of missionary work that is being done in the state today. I know, too, how carefully she looks after the Idian girls, for we just had together -an experience with one of the Indian girls in Oklahoma City. It
must have been most , difficult for Esther with the children, without the Lindleys, but she certainly is making good." Tells of Activities The same letter contains a paragraph which gives some idea as to the
nature of the work among the Indians which i3 being carried on by the Friends missionaries. It reads as follows: "Mr. Abbot and several of the other influential Osages have been much interested m the fact that Ruth Muskrat was sent to China and said they
would go to Chilocco and Bacone to
hear her speak. Because she is well
known in the state, and has been to Asia, we thought that she might be of
great help to the Magners in their
Christmas . entertainment, wnich is
practicaHythe only time that the Osagt people get together without family jealousies. So we are sending Ruth to help with the Christmas meeting and also David Owl from Haskell to see what ho can do with the younger boys and any older ones who may come. Because both Ruth and David
are Indians, the Osage people will respect them." Ruth Muskrat is an Indian girl who is a leader among her people, she hav
ing been chosen as one of the delegates to the World's Student Christian Federation conference which was held last spring in Peking, China. After
tne conference was over she visited with leading Friends missionary workers in China including John R. Mott,
Miss Katy Boyd George and others.
She also visited some of the leading student centers of China and spoke be
fore large groups of students.
