arrangements TO conserve the estates

Of responsible guardianship is 70 be in

AFFAIRS of the young Indians VIII be bet
ter. more honestly. and more prOhJaMy
administered than they nave been here
tofore.
c. r. Peck. assistant Federal attor-
ney for the Oklahoma district. has been
given the large task Of STRENGTHENING
out these affairs. At present banks. in
dividuals. lawyers. etc, serve as guard
ians for individual Indian minors. with
the result that there g no uniformity
ana no effective accounting for the es-
tates. Last year Col John 5. MOsby
and Edgar A. Allea were sent 10 in
yestigate this system, or rather lack Of
bad, Now IL has been determined 10
make each indian agent guardian over
children in his jurisdiction, 10 require
him 10 give heavy bond. 20 deposit
moneys In approved repositories. and 60
make regular and complete accounting.
Mr.. Peck Is at work now putting the
new plan into effect The approval Of
the probate court must be secured for
the guardianship appointments. and If
the child be over fourteen years Old
his approval must also be secured.
