The question whether the Indians ought to
be placed under the military or kept in charge
of the civil branch Of the government is revived
agatnin connection with the recent uprising of
the Utes. cool-headed gentleman who has
spent considerable time in the territories,
where he had the advantage of both observa-
ton and experience with the noble red man,
was asked his opinion on this point last even
ing.
at depends altogether on what you want to
do with the Indians" he responded. "If you
want to exterminate them, place them under
the War department.; If you want to civllize
them, and solve the problem that way, keep
them where they are"
"But can they be civilized, or taught to make
their living in any other way than by hunt1ng?"
was the next query.
HNothing is easier" was the reply. ''All the
government or the white man has to do is to
keep faith with them. II this is done In every
sense there will be no trouble"
This view will probably strike the fair
minded reader who has no hobbies or prejudices
on the subject as not very far from the mark
The recent report of DR.. Sears to the trustees
of the Peabody educational fund has attracted
general attention and comment, especially that
portion of 1t giving statistics of tlliteracy In
the SOUTH but In their comments upon this
feature Of the report the newspapers generally
seem to loose sight of one important fact, that
In Justice to the south should be considered.
There Is unquestionably large proportion OF
ignorance in that section, and no doubt, an
objectionable apathy In regard to the educa-
ton of children; but the public school reports
do not furnish a full showing Of the number Of
children attending schools. In the south there
exists widespread prejudice against public
schools. This feeling was engendered and en-
Is gradually yielding to more enlightened
sentiment, it still exists. The consequence is,
that very many private schools are maintained,
and of course the children attending them
are not enumerated in the reports of public
school superintendent 1t Is probable, that
one-ffth OF the white children Of the southern
states attend private schools, their parents
paying for their tuition rather than send them
to the public schools. The report OF Dr. Sears
states that the number OF children being sent
to public schools is on the increase as rule
and this shows, not only that the Importance
OF educating the youth is becoming more gener-
ally appreciated, but also that the foolish pre-
JUDGE against public or "free schools"-as they
are called in that section-is dying out.
