At a meeting held at Hampton last "Indian Emancipation Day," one of the
Indian boys in his speech said:

"Whenever we do anything white man don't like, he call us 'Injun,'
whenever we do anything Injun don't like, he call us 'white man.'" He
also expressed his conviction that "Injun boy great deal smarter than
white boy, 'cause folks expect that Injun will learn as much in three
years as white boy does in nine or ten years."

An Indian boy writes from the country, "I have been confusion at the
United States language."
