GENERAL CARR is not far wrong in
saying that the education of the Sioux
has been conducted according to false
and proftless methods; and this is true
the whole prevailing system of In

fit them for farming and other forms OF

THE Sioux trouble is practically
ended, but the Indian problem is not
much nearer solution than it was be-

to give attention to the matter, with a
view of substituting an honest and
practical policy for the one that now
exists. The fact that the latter is a
dreary failure can not be disputed; and
the interests involved are too important
to Justify or excuse further DELAY.
