"Weeping Water Academy was started in 1885 in the hearts of a few Christian people who wanted their own boys and girls to prepare for college. The students have come from many counties in southeast Nebraska, and an unusually large per cent of them have gone on to college. Its home has been the old church meeting-house. The first new permanent building, Hindley Cottage, a dormitory for young women, is now completed at a cost of $9,000.
"Chadron Academy was established in 1888. In 1890 a fine brick building was erected which, two years later, was totally destroyed by, fire. School continued without a day's delay, and a new brick building was soon erected. Chadron Academy has a contributory territory of not less than 35,- 000 square miles, a region of vast cattle ranges, isolated ranch homes, and scattered farms. It is just the place for a Christian academy, and has well fulfilled the idcal and purpose of its founders.

"Not less than 5,000 different students have attended these four academies, about 500 of whom have completed the full three-years courses, and 400 of them prepared for college.
"January I, 1902, a committee of five was organized to help the academies secure funds to pay off all debts, pro- vide for current expenses, and raise a permanent endow- ment fund of $100,000. June 30, 1904, the committee reported :
Cash received $58,300 00
Pledges still unpaid 5,170 00
Making a total of $63,470 00
"The cash received, $58,300, was enough to pay all ex- penses of the four academies for the two and one-half years, covered by the canvass, and leave a surplus of about $13,000 for debts, endowments, and new buildings, besides the $5,000 of pledges still unpaid."

A COMPARATIVE STUDY

A COMPARATIVE STUDY
The question is sometimes asked, Would it not be better to have all our Congregational schools located in one place ? Would we not administer the schools for less money, and reach just as many students ?
The M. E. Church in Nebraska, which numbers some 55,000 members to our 16,000, has all its educational work centered in one institution, the Nebraska Wesleyan Univer- sity at University Place. This gives a good opportunity to compare the two systems. Naturally we should expect a much larger number of students in the Methodist institu- tion because the Methodist membership in the state is more than three times as large as the Congregational. The fol- lowing study will be of interest :

In this study the reader is asked to draw his own con- clusions as to the advantages of either system. This will not be difficult to do. He can easily see which thus far reaches the larger number of students and which costs the more money per year. The two systems have been in exist- ence side by side now for several years, and this study for the year 1903-4 may fairly be taken as representing the comparative merits in the educational work of both denominations.

SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL
VII
SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL
The Indian school at Santee, while not supported directly by the Congregational churches in Nebraska, is a part of the educational work in the state. The school was founded in 1870 by the American Board, but in the readjustment of our missionary work it was later on transferred to the American Missionary Association.
Situated in the northeast corner of Nebraska it is well located to accommodate the Indians of the Northwest. The principal of the school is the well-known Rev. A. L. Riggs, D.D.
Santee is neither a college nor academy, but, as its name signifies, is a normal training school. Prof. F. B. Riggs, M.A., the assistant principal, has given a concise account of the object of the school in these words :
"The fundamental purpose of Santee is the preparation of Indian young men and women for missionary and edu- cational leadership among their own people. Active Chris- tians and working churches are the result of Christian edu- cation.
"Government schools do not and can not provide adequate preparation for the missionary teachers, preachers, and other Christian leaders that are needed. Santee does not conflict withi, compete with, or parallel the work of the government schools or any other schools. Home life is recog- nized as a potent educational means, and Santee dormitories are accordingly small and numerous, each in charge of a Christian lady who appreciates the responsibilities of moth- ering her flock. In the academic work the peda-

gogical developments at Santee are not only abreast of the times, but often advance into originality. The course of study is essentially unique. The secondary value of 'form study,' such as language and mathematics, is recognized,
REV. A. L. RIGGS, D.D.
and the 'real studies,' or 'thought studies,' as history or the humanities, and the sciences, are made the basis of all 'form study' teaching.
"The order, relative value, and most advantageous use of studies is made a constant pedagogical and psychological

study at Santee. . . Industrial training occupies half of every pupil's school day.
"Besides the domestic training that the pupils inciden- tally receive in the care of their rooms, houses, and clothes- both boys and girls-the school, cooking school, shop, and farm give them more systematic instruction planned to fit the possibilities of their home conditions. Santee pupils are taught to make good bread, and to prepare plain, nourish- ing food economically, and from such materials as they have at home, or should be able to have.
"The students are practiced in the essentials of stock raising and general farming. And in laboratory they have experimental demonstration of the more important theories of agriculture.
"With the mechanical arts the object is not trade training, but 'manu-mental' instruction, development of the mind and character through the hand and body. Blacksmithing, car- pentering, printing are used for their mental and ethical value, a means to all-around development."1
The school also has an extension course with lectures by Santee teachers. Special classes are formed for adults who have had none or but few educational advantages. These are called "adult primaries."
In 1903 there were 230 students catalogued, of whom 123 were in the correspondence school, 8 in the high school, 51 in the intermediate, including from the fourth to the seventh grades, 7 in the adult-primary, 40 in the primary, 18 in in- strumental music, and I unclassified. The music scholars are included in the other grades.
Looking at the bright and intelligent faces of the high school pupils one can hardly realize that these are the chil- dren of "wild Indians." They illustrate what Christian training can do and is doing for the Indian races.

SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL
In Santee there are representatives from different tribes including the Santee, Winnebago, Navajo, Sioux, and other tribes, but in Christ Jesus they are all one.
Says Prof. Riggs : "During thirty-four years of Santee's history there have been great changes in the condition of all the Indians of the Northwest. Christianity has been the only power that has transformed barbarism into the begin- nings of civilization."
The Santee pupils, with scarcely an exception, are or be- come while in school Christians and church members. And in answer to the question: "Does an Indian on returning from school relapse to the heathen ways of his people?" Prof. Riggs answers, "No, never if he has become a gen- uine Christian."
There are eighteen teachers and helpers in the Santee school, and the work which they are doing for the up-lift and Christian civilization of the Indian tribes can never be told by statistics, nor by a superficial study of the work done. It is only they who watch the progress of these In- dian boys and girls as they go through the years of study in Santee, and then out among their people as leaders and helpers, who are competent to judge of the character of the work done in the school, and the transformation of the Indian into a Christian and honored member of society. And they have but one report to make, and that is that the Santee Normal Training School is an institution of untold blessings to the Indians of the Northwest.
Into this Indian mission work the Riggs family have put their lives. "Dr. A. L. Riggs was born in the work," his father being a missionary among the Sioux in 1857, and his son is following in his steps. They have made Santee largely what it is, and are the inspiration of its growing work.

This brief outline of Santee would be incomplete without a sketch of that remarkable Indian preacher, pastor, and missionary, Artemas Ehnamani.
ARTEMAS EHNAMANI
Much of the information for the following sketch of the life of this noted Indian minister has been received from
REV. ARTEMAS EHNAMANI
leaflets and personal letters from Rev. A. L. Riggs, D.D., of Santee, who more than any one else is conversant with the facts of his life.
273
SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL
Artemas Ehnamani was born at Red Wing, Minnesota, in 1825. His boyhood days were passed along the banks of the Mississippi river. As a young man he was tall, attract- ive, a lover of the chase, and ready for the war path, es- pecially when opportunity came to strike a blow against the Chippewas, the enemies of his people. He also won for his bride the maiden of his choice, the most beautiful one in the tribe, and in this contest he had many noted rivals from the young men of renown.
While yet in the prime of life he and his tribe ceded their ancestral homesteads along the Mississippi and moved on to the Sioux reservation on the Minnesota river.
Ehnamani was a participant in the Sioux outbreak of 1862, and with the other leaders was captured, imprisoned at Mankato, Minnesota, and Davenport, Iowa, and con- demned to death.
While in prison he was converted, and became a devoted Christian, and was eventually pardoned by President Lincoln.
His one book was the Dakota Bible, and the prison was his school.
When he and the others were released from prison, they found that their families had been removed to Northeastern Nebraska on the banks of the Missouri River.
Ehnamani was soon chosen one of the preachers and pastors in the reorganized church. He served Pilgrim Con- gregational church as pastor for thirty-five years and was translated on the eve of Easter Day, 1902. His wife also became a Christian, and in many ways a helper in his work. Ehnamani was an out-and-out Christian; his faith was genuine, his experience real. He rejoiced in Christian fel- lowship, and believed strongly in the brotherhood of the church. He was a successful leader, tender, compassionate, a man of wisdom and rare executive ability. He was a veri-
18

table missionary superintendent among the Indian workers of his day, and yet was as humbly amenable to the discipline of the church as any other member.
Dr. Riggs says that he "very humbly and courteously accepted the investigation and reproof of the Board of El- ders when he was accused of having fired off a gun to kill the spirits causing the sickness of his wife. The truth was that he was humoring the whim of his wife, made childish and half demented by her sickness."
His message to his people was that of the Risen Savior and Lord.
He often made trips among the wild tribes of the Sioux and Dakotas as a Gospel missionary. He was licensed to preach in 1866, and in 1867 was ordained pastor of Pilgrim Church at Santee agency and held that position until his death in 1902.
On account of railroad facilities Santee affiliated with the South Dakota Congregational churches more than with the Nebraska churches with which it is connected. However, from time to time Pastor Ehnamani attended the State As- sociation of Nebraska, an interested spectator of its pro- ceedings, and one of its principal speakers, though speaking through an interpreter.
He has the distinction of serving a Congregational church as pastor longer than any other minister in the state.
Ehnamani's second son, Rev. Francis Frazier, is pastor of Pilgrim Church which his father served so many years.
The eldest son, Albert Frazier, preaches to the Bazile Creek Church, Santee reserve, some ten miles away from Santee, but he has not yet (January, 1905) been ordained
And so the work of Santee, under the efficient leadership of the Riggs family, goes on, the Indian pastor's son follow- ing in the footsteps of his father, and the noted missionary's son trained to the work from infancy, a leader among men,

a scholar and teacher of that science which makes for per- fect manhood.
Santee mission was under the American Board from 1866 to 1882, when it was transferred to the A. M. A.
The following missionaries have been in commission :
Rev. John P. Williamson, D.D., Mrs. Sarah F. William- son, 1866 to 1870.
Mr. Edward R. Pond, Mrs. Mary F. Pond, 1866 to 1871.

TABLES
The following tables furnish many items of interest to the churches. Rev. J. E. Storm prepared the tables contain- ing an alphabetical list of all ministers who have served the Nebraska churches, the delegates to the National Council, the names of disbanded churches. Mrs. J. E. Storm pre- pared Table VIII, giving pastorates in living churches. The South Platte and Lincoln Land Companies furnished the tables which bear their names. The Secretaries of the American Board sent the list of Nebraskans on the foreign field. The table showing the sessions of the General Asso- ciation has been revised with great care from the manuscript minutes of the association, and will show quite a variation from the table in recent printed minutes of the association.
SESSIONS OF THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION
The General Association was organized in Omaha, Au- gust 8, 1857, Rev. I. E. Heaton temporary moderator, E. H. Barnard temporary clerk. At this meeting Rev. R. Gay- lord was elected moderator, and Rev. I. E. Heaton stated clerk. It was voted that the "First annual meeting of this association be held at Fremont on the last day of October next at 7:00 P.M." (Ms. Minutes, p. 4.). Taking the Fre- mont meeting as the first annual meeting, the sessions of the General Association are as follows :
