INDIAN EDUCATION.
A SHORT SIGHTED POLICY IN CONGRESS.
CUT IN THE APPROPRIATIONS WHICH WILL
CRIPPLE THE INDIAN OFFICE.

CUT IN THE APPRoPd ATOMS WHICH WILL.
CRIPPLE THE INDIAN OFFICE.
Washington Feb. 80 (SpeciaD.-Should the Indian
hin now pending before Congress become a law in It's
present shape it will seriously cripple the Indian
Office its work, especially in the matter of Indian
education During the last two and a half years the
work of Indian education has received amount OF
attention never before bestowed upon 1t and great
progress has been made in the proper equipment Of
schools already in existence, in the establishment OF
new ones and in the plans for the general enlargement
NJ the work in the immediate future. There not
less than 10000 indian children that ought to be in
school now for possibly 10000 of whom provision has
been made including those who taught in contract
schools.
The Commissioner OF Indian Affairs, after cutting
down the requests made by the school superintendent,
urgently pressed by agents, school supervisors and
strongly recommended by the Superintendent of Indian
schools, submitted 10 Congress estimates which re-
ceived the approval Of the Secretary OF the Interior
and Treasury Department for a moderate increase
over the amount carried In the last Indian BILL The
sum asked for if granted would enable the Commits
sloner to enlarge the school facilities during tue
next fiscal year to provide for considerable In
crease In the number Of children, but would st leave
several thousand unprOvided for. There are certainly
not less than 5000 children among the Navajo Indians
who have no school advantages whatever but are
growing up in ignorance and barbarism, threatening
the peace and welfare OF vast region OF country con-
tiguous TO the enormous reservation which they oc-
cupy There are probably 500 Moqui children who
ought 10 be in school, less than that number
OF Apaches There also perhaps thousand other
Indian children within the limits Of Arizona, who ought
speedily to be brought under the cvlzng influences
Of schools 1t is certainly most shorsighted policy
which leaves these wards OF the Nation to grow up III
ignorance, superstition, barbarism, If not s'vageiy'
