In this mighty Wigwam building, In this great tepee of learning, There are many mighty chieftans, There are many mighty warriors, Citchie Priest leads all the chieftans, Calls them in to share his councils, Calls them in to spread the war-paint, Calls them in to spread the red ink. Gitchie Cade speaks to his children, Speaks to call the tribes together, Then he passes out the birch bark, Passes out the marks of learning. From the tribes comes then a wailing, Comes a sound of pain and moaning, From the Sophomores and Freshmen, From the Seniors and the Juniors. Over them he spreads his right hand To subdue their stubborn natures, To allay their fear and terror, By the shadow of his right hand, 229 I Q5 xxx Page Thirteen

Listen to the words of wisdom, Listen to the words of warning. I have given you hooks to learn from, I have given you time to work in, I have brought the wise to teach you. Why then are you not contented? Why absorb you not this learning? I am weary of your flunking, Weary of your groans and whining, From now on I seek the war-path, Seek the war-club and the scalp-knife, If you wish to change, my children, Wish to work hard and to prosper, Promise me to be good children, To be wise in your deportmentf' On the tribes there fell a silence, Fell a sudden calm and quiet, All the braves looked at each other, All the squaws sat stunned by terror. Then with one accord together, With one voice his children gargled, Take our promise, Father Gitchie! Take our promise to obey. On the hillside by a hollow, Near a winding river Coal Creek, Stands a mighty Wigwam building, Stands a great tepee of learning, Here brave warriors come for learning Here wise chieftans smoke the peace pipe So the hours pass in contentment, So the days pass in endeavor, On the part of all the children, Of the great tribes of this nation. as f i 5 WQ-fax Page Fourteen tif e,:....,--N-11259 +sr,.L,rL..n.., Y . n..,:., Au.. ,,,, A. ,, ....,t--. 1 'ei
