Supt. Davis, OF the Pierre Indian
school, while on a recent trip to the In
dian reservation for the purpose OF Undue
ing Indian children to attend the school,
met with some curious opposition to his
efforts. One of the objections raised by
the parents is that they will be deprived
OF their children. But the greatest OBJ
lection is that when the children go away
to school the family is deprived OF the ra-
tons and annuities, such as blankets,
sbeeting, calico, etc. "Of course" says
Mr.. Davis, ''the children are clothed and
led while at school, but the family is dc.
prived OF this benefit at home, and il il
not always an easy matter to explain
that their children will be educated as a
recompense Tor their loss OF rations, etc.
These objections are gradually being
overcome and the school is filing up
with children as rapidly as can pro-
vide for them"
