Supt. Davis, OF the Pierre Indian
school, while OH a recent trip to the ln-
dian reservation for the purposeo OF induc-
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-
tions and annuities, sucll as blankets,
sbeeting. calico, etc. "Of course,' says
Mr.. Davis, ''tle children are clothed and
fed while ut school. but the family liz de-
prived of this benefit at home. aud it is
not always an easy matter to explain
that their children will be educated as u
recompense for their loss OF rations, etc.
These objections are gradually being.
overcome and the school is filing up
with children as rapidly as a pro-
! vide for them.''
