Within the next two months the
government will close out it's bust
ness of educating Indians by contract.
and thenceforth will retain practical
~ the whole control and conduct OF
the matter. The change from the old
system to the new began in 1895, when
Congress passed law providing for
sectarian schools the decrease being
twenty per cent each year. Mean
time, as the cutting off of this aid de-
prived Indian boys and girls of the
privileges which they had enjoyed
for them in government schools, the
attendance in which has increased
from fourteen to twenty-five thous-
and, and is still growing at the rate
Of a thousand year. The next step
contemplated by the government is a
measure of compulsory education for
young Indians. It is a pleasure to
note that Hampton Institute, being en-
tirely non-sectarian ana performing
service which would be hard to
duplicate will still receive a certain
measure of government assistance.
