EDUCATION OF INDIANS.
Miss Reel, Superintendent of Indian
Schools Urges COmpu sorry Education
More Attention TO Manual Training.

Washington, Dec I5.-Miss Reel,
superintendent Of Indian schools, in
her annual report makes a strong plea
for the industrial feature Of educa-
tiOnal work among the Indians In
her report she says:
The government has upon its various reserva-
tiOns about 80 day and boarding schools, in
which there are over 200 teachers employed
The government has no. yet adopted COmpUl-
sorry measures for the education OF the Indian
children, and the fact IS that the
dark-skinnsd sons OF the forests do not
take TO education very readily Some res
ervatiOns withhold the ratiOns until the
parents place their children in the schools
and so strong is the opposition TO this that
many families have held out against il until
their families were On the verge Of starvation
But this feeling is not general, and during the
past year the attendance percentage was very
fair.
Industrial education and the neces-
sity Of furnishing employ ent for the
Indian student upon his return from
school are dwelt upon Compulsory
education and more attention to man
ual training are strongly urged
