the Sauks and Foxes, a people of Algonquin stock. One band 

 of this people is located in central Iowa, and another in Oklahoma. 

 Both bands practice similar customs, live in much the same way, 

 wear the same kind of dress, show similar physical types, and, 

 with the exception of certain differences in idiom, and with the 

 exception that the Iowa band have a slower, more deliberate 

 pronunciation, they speak the same tongue. The Iowa band is 

 the more conservative, and among them the law^ of the clans 

 still holds. The education of the children is accomplished not 

 by instruction but by imitation. The older boys imitate the 

 men, and the younger boys imitate the older ones ; and simi- 

 larly with the girls. The life of the children is but a smaller 

 edition of the life of the older people. 

 Adjourned.
