TEACH THEM TO FARM.

ChiIocco School TO BE Principal .Agri.
cultural School for Indians.
WASHINGTON: In compliance with
request from A. w. Jones, commission
er of Indian affairs, S. NJ. MCGOWAN,
recently appointed superintendent of
the Chilocco Indian school in Kay
county, Oklahoma, is in Washington
for IL conference. 1t is the intention of
the commission of Indian affairs to
make the Chilocco school the principal
agricultural school for Indians in the
United States. 1t will have, if the
plans of the Indian bureau are carried
ont, the same standing as in an agri-
cultural school that Carlisle and Haskell
have as industrial schools
At the school there are $500 acres of
land, all of which will be under cult
walton within three years, and the inten-
ton is to increase the attendance to
twelve hundred. Mr.. MCGOWAN was
selected from all the school superinten-
dents in the United States to develop
this work. He has been thirteen years
in the work and comes from Phoenix,
Ariz. The agricultural lands which
form the Chilocco reservation are as
rich as any in Oklahoma. The change
in the management of the Chilocco
school is the first important step in the
work of teaching the Indians to take
care of their allotments.
1--WE will teach the Indians to farm"
said Mr. MCGOWAN "just the same as
the progressive farmers of Kansas and
Oklahoma. We will try to make the
institution self sustaining by putting
under cultivation or devoting to stock
farming every acre of the eighty six
hundred. Not single detail of pro
gressive farming will be neglected and
the Indians will do the work"

found that no provision had been made
for it and the application was denied
Since that time Lawton has expanded
