PREFACE.
IN the Indian Schools of our country, teachers and mis-
sionaries have labored at a disadvantage with the
primers compiled for White Schools. Those text-books are
adapted for pupils who talk English before they enter
school. Indian children must begin conversational and
written English at the same time. In view of this fact, the
exercises in the Primer and Language Lessons have been
prepared. They embrace subjects, sentences, phrases, idioms,
and words designed to introduce the children by an easy and
natural method to the study of English. It will be observed
that tiie forty lessons include all the parts of speech. Teachers
will have the opportunity of studying the Cree Syllabics, and
explaining to their scholars the meaning of the English text.
Missionaries and teachers will possess a Cree text of model
sentences and idioms for private study, and will be better
qualified to read the Bible, the Hymn Book, the Catechism
in Cree, and to teach adult Indians to read and write their
own language.
Should a teacher, with the sanction of the Indian Depart-
ment, instruct children in the use of Syllabics, fifteen minutes
each day will be found sufficient ; but the main effort should
be to drill pupils in the English tongue.

APPENDAGES.
When "•" and "o" are placed to the right of a syllable,
as in AP^S'O, the value of '* • " is absorbed by the syllable,
while that of "o" is affixed. Written in Roman characters
the word AP'^S'O will illustrate: — pe-kis-kwaoo ; "w" is
within the S} lable, and "oo" is affixed to it. The value of
" '," which appendfige must be placed after the syllable it
aft'ects, is always absorbed except in the case of V*, A*
|>-, <]•, in which, though "•" is affixed in position, its value
is prefixed. The above combinations are pronounced, wa,
we, wo, wa. The absorbed and the prefixed values of . „
are met with in the word A-AP^9-o= we-ke-kis kwaoo, he
wishes to speak.
It will be noticed that there are quantities between V
and O V and <, etc., less full than tliose given in the
Alphabet. When quantities similar to the alphabetical ones
are very necessary in the pronunciation of a word, the period
" • " is placed directly over the long or broad syllable,
crbP'CL^ = ni-ka-kwe-ta-mUn = 1 shall be in need. VdC
crbOS'^ = I shall be there; here the last syllables are, "a"
and "yan," both broad. bOS^^^ = where you are. The
last " ^7 " is not broad, ka-a-ya-yun.

MODEL LETTER.

February 21st, 1890.
Dear Father and Mother,
1. It is two years since I came here. At first
I was lonesome, but now, though I often think of
you, I am glad I was sent here to learn English and
to work.
2. On Saturday there is no school, but we work
and play a good deal. I like to feed cattle and ride
a horse to water. One day the horse ran away with
me, and threw me against the fence. My flesh and
bones were sore for two or three days. The teacher
did not scold me. However, he thought I was care-
less ; and said he was thankful the horse did not
kill me.
3. Some of the boys steal things to eat when there
is a chance. We are fed plenty at meals, and I feel
better when I try to do right.
4. Sometimes 1 disobey. Our teacher tells us not
to tease animals. Once I snared a gopher, and dragged
it about v'ith a string until it was almost dead. One
of the girls told the teacher I disobeyed him, so he
whipped ne well. I told him I did not like to be
thrashed ; he said the gopher did not like to be

abused, and he told me I was cruel. I should Lave
killed the gopher at once, as I was told, but I like
that kind of play better than the gophers do. They
eat oats and carrots, and other things we raise for
food. I hope that my younger brother and sister
will be brought here to school, and that they will
quit teasing gophers, and give up other bad habits
before leaving home.
6. I do not wish to live in a tent any more, or wear
a blanket. When I am grown up, I will try to get
about twenty cows and two horses to keep on a farm-
Every white man makes his own living, because he is
taught from childhood to work. I shall never ask
for a blanket or rations. Why does the Government
not give you coats and pants instead of blankets that
make people look foolish and lazy?
6. The snow is not deep at Morley, and does not
remain long, because sometimes the wind is too warm
for snow. This winter a wounded bear killed a
Stony in the Rocky Mountains not far from here.
We were all sorry for his wife and children. Another
man accidentally shot liimself, and died very soon after-
wards.
7. The girls in this school can do many things
they could do at their homes. They knit, and sew,
and make bread, and do other work, and tell on a
boy when he does wrong. They are not very good
themselves.

8. There are two schools on the north side of the
river, and one on the south side. Mr. McDougall
brings boys and girls to this school. Some of them
come from afar. Mr. and Mrs. Youraans make us talk
English at play and at work, so we learn fast. On
Sunday the children are taken out to church ; they
like it if it is not too cold. I wish you could hear
us sing, and read and talk English.
9. The Stonies hunt in the Rocky Mountains, farm
on both sides of the river, and live in houses. I was
surprised at first that these Indians do not gamble, or
dance, or bet. Now I see they are taught that these
things do them harm and make them poor. The
Stonies have faith in the Bible, and listen to the
advice of the m^vsionary. Would that all the Crees
and other Indians gave up their evil ways and read
the Bible !
10. I love you all more than ever, and I am
anxious to see you and tell you many things that I
cannot put in this letter. Dear mother, I have some-
thing I am keeping for you until you and father
come to see me in the spring.
Your loving son,
Chief Sampson, THOMAS.
Bear's Hill, Alta.
