What To Do win lhe Indians.

How to take care OF Inc Indians hos
always been a grave question with
the governments There are only 246.- :
1874 Indians in tho country (about as
leAny as there are inhabitants Of New
Orleans), and it would be an easy
matter for this rich government to
supply them all with homes and food,
give them little money, and let
them take care of themselves. But
this would be the worst thing that
could happen to them They arc
naturally inclined to work, and if the
nation supported them in idlcncss they
would soon be in more dcplorable
condition than when they ran wild on
the plains. For too many years the
only effort TO civilize them was made
with soldiers aud rifles. Now, how
ever, a more humane aud wiser policy
is in force, aud it is sought to educate
and civilizc them TO such an extent
that they will soon ming'c with the
white population aud become good
American citizens.
"Wc find them American Indians;
we wish to make them Indian Amcri-
cans" Commissioner Morgan says.
IIs mean, that instead Of remaining
li.tlc separate nations, they are to be-
come part of the great body of peo-
pie, just as our foreign immigrants
do. But it would not do TO throw
them upon their own resources with
out soparation. They have no idea
of farming, of housekeeping, Of home
e, of the arts or sciences, or any of
The attributes of civilization. They
know nothing of railways or tele-
graphs, plum puddiugs or Santa
Claus; they cannot, in general, read
or write, and most of them cannot
speak the English language. To fit
them to become citizens they must / c
educated, and certainly the education
must begin with the little Indians.
"Takc care of the old Indians, and
teach the young Indians TO take care
of themselves. This is tie Indian
policy in a dem words. To teach
the young Indians there must be
schools and teachers, and the Indian
bureau deyotes large part of IFS
time aud money to opening and sup
porting schools for Indian children
between tho ages Of six and sixteen.
