 4. The school plant consists Of twenty-one buildings, used as follows:
 One school house, brick, used fot class rooms.
 One dining hall and employees quar- ters, brick.
 Ono shop building, brick. for harness maker shoemaker, tailor, blacksmith, wagonmaker. painter and carpenter shops.

 One hospital, frame
 One superintendent residence. frame.
 One office, frame.
 One warehouse, for storing supplies, brick. t
 One school house, frame, used for sloyd teachers work and for special instruction in housekeeping.

 Eight small frame buildings, used for band-stand, employees quarters, outhouses, etc, etc.
 They are in fairly good condition, and have forced capacity of 500. Their value is S75,000. ,. Our present water system con- sists of small well, pump, two tanks and inadequate pipe lines to some Of the buildings. Present heating system consists Of wood stoves. Plans are be- ing prepared fer adequate sewer and water systems, and $14,000 have been appropriated therefor.
 l have the hCnC': to recommend the following improvements, viz 1. This school should be increased to 500 pupils. There are thousands of embryo useful citizens in the adjacent triEes where brains and souls are stag nant for want Of cultivation. 1 see no reason why there should not be an In- dian school of 2,000 CT 5000 students, nor why it should not be as successful as Yale, Harvard, and others with their thousands. It is cheaper to conduct | one. school of 1000 than two of 800 pu- pills each--ard numbers beget enthusi- asm. To enable us to care for 800 pu piis we will require no larger special appropriation for new buildings than we should have for our 600. We. will save from S12,000 to S20, ,000 each year from support which will care for all needed repairs and minor improve ments. Of new buildings we need the following very much to round cut our plant to completion, and these we should have whether our. quota be in creased CT not.
 (a) One Auditorium and Gymra- sium. You will nCte in our list of buildings given above that we have no place for assembly, except room 38X70, capable of seating about 400, in cur new school building. I would like to change this hall into four (4) class rooms, thus giving us fourteen class rooms, and then build a commodious auditorium, with gymnasium annex, capable Cf accommodating comfortably ] GOO people. The need for such building at this school is so obvious that argument, it seems to me, would be superfuous. I would construct said building of stone and brick at cost of $2O, ,OOO
 (b) One Manual Training School. My idea is to erect a convenient house suitably arranged for profitable instGuc ticn in sewing and it's various ad- iuncts; cooking and housekeeping; sloyd in it's various br1ncheE; q com modious room in which to give talks and lectures On the theoretical side of the work in progress; drawing. espac- ially mechanical. that pupils may learn to work from models Of their own ere ation, thus combining brains and brawn; art, in colors, and clay, as be- ing the best way in which to develop the students knowledge of form and color and cultivate his aesthetical na- ture, etc, etc This building should be erect,d whether the quota be increased CT not This building should be of stone and brick and will cost $1O,0OG.
 (c) The two buildings above men tioned should be erected whether the quota be increased CT rot. Other i'm proyements will 6s necessary, such as partitioAihg the asseth Sfy hall in the school building into class rooms, and
