Although these schools cannot proper
" be considered part Of the school sys

tance, since most Of them undoubtly form
the nucleus of free schools in thettutnre.

Hazen, Commanding Fl. Buford, Palette

= These Soldiers Schools are supported
chiefly by appropriations from the Post
fund, and partly by private contributions.
: They are free to the children of officers
Land enlisted men, and citizens residing
at the Post, and are in the highest de-
gree creditable to the military service.
To Gen. W.. P. Carlin, commanding

.. ney, Ft. Berthold, am indebted for full
!. reports Of the Indian schools at their res
pective agencies, which will be found in
teresting, not only to the friends Of edu-
;, cation, but to the public generally.
Y The Fl. eBerthold school was establish

f average attendance Of IS girls and 10

intelligent and learn readily: The school
III under the charge Of a lady teacher who
speaks the Sioux language fuently.
) l. At Standing Rock there is an. interest
ling school taught, likewise by most ex-
ceIlent tlady. It has an average atten 4

so supported by government, and is
under the supervision of the. Catholic

Indeed, I believe that at both these
} agencies an earnest effort is being made
TO promote the cause of education, and to
elevate the Indian.
| Certainly 1t is guarantee better edu-
cational advantages or at least surety
OF fewer promisesand better faith on the
part of the government towards the peo-
pie, that man SO uhselfsh, SO patriotic,
and SO fearless in duty as Gen. Carlin,
has been assigned to their guardianship
Judge Barnes, of Dakota.
The President reappointed Hon. A.
! H. Barnes, OF this State, Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court of Dakota, and the
Senate confirmed the nomination. The
result will be doubly source Of gratifca-
ton to Judge Barnes many friends in
Wisconsin, because it was achieved over
an active opposition strengthened with
all the influence of Senator Morton
Mizwaukee Sentinel.
