deserved attention, and colleges for instruc-
ton. theoretical and practical. in agriculture
and the mechanic art, including the govern
ment schools recently established for the
instruction Of Indian youth. are gaining
steadily in public estimation. The Commits
sioner asks special attention to the depreda-
tons committed on the lands reserved for
tine future support Of public instruction, and
10 the very great need of help from the Ma
ton for schools in the Territories and in the
Southern States The recommendation
heretofore made. is repeated and urged. tina,

net proceeds of the sales of the public lands
annually, the income of which. and the re-
mainder of the net annual proceeds, to be
distributed on some satisfactory plan to the
