General Armstrong lectured before a large sized audience in Sanders last evening on "the present condition of the Indians and the measures which ought to be taken to alleviate their distress." The arguments which were advanced have already been presented to eastern audiences many times. But the chief interest of the meeting centered in the two Indian students who accompanied General Armstrong. They, in addressing the audience, proved at least one thing, that they feel deeply the wrongs of their countrymen and would spare no efforts to abrogate those wrongs. From an educational point of view this meeting was of great interest. Many opponents of the plan which calls for the education of the Indian claim that he cannot be educated, that he is unfitted for our civilization. Whether this be so or not the audience of last evening had a most positive argument to the contrary in the two Indian students who addressed them.
