"TEAcH EVERY INDIAN GIRL. 4"
Miss Reels Advice in Solving Civil
ization Problem for Red Man.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., Sept 25.--The
third annual report of the superin-
tendent of Indian schools contains
much data of interest. Miss Reel, the
superintendent, finds the problem of
Indian civilization moves toward solu-
ton. She says that while those who
Immediately supervise the school real
ize the magniture of their work, they
do not feel that the whole burden rests
upon them. The gradual freeing of the
Indian from the reservation system is
throwing more and more of the re-
sponsibilltV on him.
Miss Reel emphasizes the vital i'm
portance of teaching the home-makng
duties to every Indian girl, claiming
this to be even more essential than the
teaching of trades to the boys. AS al
most the only way of reaching the
homes of the camp Indians is through
the girls school, and as they are to be
the future wives and mothers, the fate
of the generations to come is, in q
large measure, in their keeping.
Since her appointment twenty-six
months ago Miss Reel has spent seven
teen months in the field, inspecting the
schools and ascertaining by personal
observation the needs of the Indians
and the service. She reports increased
enrolment, better accommodations,
great facilities for industrial training
and gratifying improvements over pre-
viOus years. A strong plea is made
for compulsory education.
