penitentiary walls at jefferson City

The three negroes are said to be des-
perate and willing to take any chance

will secure a change of clothing by

WHITE CHILDREN
TO INDIAN SCHOOLS
MIR. Leupp Commits
sioner Asks That it
Be Legalized.
BREAKING UP RESERVATIONS
And Allotting Lands Where
Ever Possible-.-New Policy
Advocated.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Commisson
er Leupp, of the Indian Office will ask
Congress to legalize the practice of
the department in permitting white
children to enter Indian schools on
the same basis as Indian children en-
ter white schools.
Policy Of Department is to Break Up
Reservations.
The policy of the Indian office Is
to break up the Indian reservations
wherever possible, and to allot the
lands owned by the Indians and the
wards of the government on self sup
porting basis. To do this effectively
old barriers are being broken down
and the Indians in many sections of
the country are attending district
schools, the Indian bureau paying in
to the county or the state treasury
the cost per capita of the Indian edu-
cation as assessed against the white
children which amounts TO about 81
per quarter
Many Localities Have Only Indian
Schools.
IN many localities in the West and
Indian schools are the on
ly schools in widely separated areas.
It has been Commissioner Leupp's
policy to permit white children to en-
Joy the privileges Of education as
granted to Indian children on the
theory that there was no law against
such a policy and he is now prepar-
ing an amendment to the Indian APP
bill pending before the
Senate committee on Indian affairs af-
firming the position he has taken.
