There are 40 Indian boys and girls in the
Caddo schools and Superintendent Vets
speaks very highly Of their progress and
says that after they complete the course
at his school they are sent to other Indian
schools in the state to complete their edu
cation. When they return as many as can
be accommodated are given employment at
the school as farm hands or cooks and
other employment. He says they are eager
to work for $40 month and board. and for
the ten places to be filled soon there are
fifty applicants. He further states that
could all of the Indians who attended these
schools be afterward furnished with employ
ment at $40 month and board that none
of them would go back TO the blanket"
life.
