to the matter i'll hopes of seeing DR..
Breen, the superintendent. and asking
for full infot nation. and further,
that the doctor would immediately
demand an investigation that would
be public and thorough. Up to this
time no steps TO this end have been
taken so far rs we can ascertain. and
the Post arriving last evening contains

believe that such conditions exist at
Fort Lewis Indian school. but the
charges are direct and cannot be
brushed aside, and The Herald calls
upon DR.. Breen as the one in author
