A HIGHER EDUCATION.

OuAS pSopAe #UAueG WIZ CAuESe VI
Father Aloysus, and with the pur-
pose Of acquiring knowledge be-
yond the rudiments, furnishes an
admirable text for a few remarks
upon what has been the practice
Of officials in the Indian depart
ment. We refer to the PERSISTENT
POLICY Of excluding indians or other
Of mixed-bioods from positions Of
trust and emolument upon reser-
yations.
The theory Of the churches
which deport our youth Of both
sexes, is that Of fitting them mo.
rally and intellectually for. the
higher walks Of life; in other
words to afford them the opportu-
nifty by contact with superior ed.
ucational and social environments.
OF acquiring q higher education,
and ease Of conventional deport-
ment. They add to this theory,
the hope that these young people
will become useful to their tribes
by imparting what they have
learned to. the younger generations
either by direct teaching, or by
force Of example,.
Something akin to this has been
the profession Of the government,
since BY LAW residents of reserve
tions are given PREFERENCE over
whites in respect to employment.
Such is the theory, and such is
the law, but what really has been
the practice? Practice has been
the reverse Of theory. We have
had some strange expositions Of
the law in question. Some years
since in response to an inquiry up
on this subject an Inspector said,
everything being equal, the Tn
dians or mixed bloods has the pref
erence," and yet failed to state
wherein inequality lay.
Indians and Mixed.Bloods Have
Repeatedly Applied
for employment, persons known
to be morally, intellectually and
practically equipped for the posi-.
tions they desired, but were met
with outright refusal. or evasion
or procrastination which made
the heart sick"
A favorite method, and one we
may say uniformally adopted, is
that Of preferring some sort Of
charge against the applicant, prin-
cipally that Of incompetency; the
agent 50 reports and his words is
taken as law, no opportunity is
offered to prove the contrary. AT
this time there is a vacancy in the
sub-teacherships here. We are
informed that one or two Indian
girls have applied, and also two
white, one having influence in the
fact Of her father being an en-.
ploye, the other a resident Of q
village not Far distant, and per.
haps having church influence. If
one or the other Of the Indian
girls is ignored we ask for sub.
stantial reasons FOR the refusal.
In some instances, half.heart.
ed prefer Of employment in other
positions than that asked FOR, has
been the resultS and for the pur.
pose as we believe Of eliciting the
aeelination which was sure to FOL.
low.
