INDIAN QUESTION SETTLED.
Programme Concerning Religious
Education Practically Reversed.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Dec. 20.-An educational cir
cular was issued from the Office of Indian
Affairs to-day. 1t finally settles a long
standing religious controversy concerning
the education of the Indians and practically
reverses the programme hitherto followed in
the Indian service.
In effect, it promulgates the rules OF the
Carlisle Indian School, and makes them
general throughout the Indian schools. The
only important difference between the Car
Isle rules and the circular instructions IS
that religious instruction is not made man
datory in governmental schools The cir
cular preScribeS:
81. Pupils are expected to attend the re-
spective churches to which they belong or
for which their parents or guardians ex-
press preference.
80. No pupil shall change his church men,
bership without knowledge of the superin-
tendents and the consent of parents or guar
dlans unless such pupil has reached the age
of 16.
'3. Pupils who belong to no church are
urged to affiliate with some denomination,
preference being left to the pupil.
"A. Proselyting among pupils by pastors,
priests. employees or pupils is strictly for
bidden."
The adoption of the above rules is owing
to the advocacy Of the Reverend William H.
ketcham. director of the Bureau of Cath
olic Indian Missions and the strong repre-
Sentatons OF the justice of the case recently
made by Archbishop Ireland of ST Paul to
the Indian Commissioner. 1t Is thought that
their local administration will obvfate the
tions. which has heretofore vexed the IN
