CURB ON PRIVATE SCHOOLS
Indian Commissioner Makes Ruling
to which They Vigorously
Protest.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.-The Indian
bureau has undertaken to prevent the con-
tinuance of what the commissioner consid-
ers has been an abuse in the manner OF
procuring Indian children for attendance at
nonre servation Indian schools by Issuing
circulars prohibiting the schools from send
ing canvassers to the reservation to Sc
cure business. The government allows 1851
per year for every Indian attending those
schools, and there has been much rivalry
among them in procuring pupils. Many OF
the canvassers have carried children Off
al night in order to prevent the required
examination, and evasion which CommIs-
sioner Leupp says has resulted in the tax
ing of numbers OF children to climates en-
tirely unsuited to them, with consequent
illness and death In many cases He char
acterizes some OF the schools as "herding
places" and he finds that the food and the
heating arrangements in them are calcu-
lated to cause disease.
The new orders contemplate that here
after the agent or superintendent on any
given reservation shall determine what
children shall be sent away to school and
to what schools they shall be sent Some
OF the schools have made bitter complaint
against the order but Secretary Garfield
has sustained the commissioner.

NEW VETERINARY COLLEGE
Chicago University Proposes to Estab-
lish One of Wide scope and
Large Equipment.

CHICAGO Sept. 20-Presdent Edmund
]. James, of the University Of Illinois, ar
rived home today from tour OF inspec-
ton of the veterinary colleges of the most
! important European states. The Univer-
sity of Illinois is to establish a state vet
erinRry college and research laboratory
in the city of Chicago, and President
| James was commissioned to visit and ex-
anime the leading veterinary schools in
Europe with view to drafting a plan Of
organization and equipment which will
make the new school fully the equal Of
the best in the old world.
Twenty-one of the most prominent
schools were visited, including those in
Holland Belgium. Germany. Austria Hun
gary, Italy, Switzerland, France, England
Ireland and Scotland. President James
this afternoon said: Everywhere was
found an astonishing recognition of the
Importance of these schools to the wealth
ard the health of the countries visited.
The little kingdom of Belgium has just
spent over Sl,O0o,OO0 in the erection OF
new plant for its veterinary college-four
times as much as any American state has
ever expended for the same purpose. Ger
many is about to expend $2,5OOOOO in re-
constructing and re-equiping its veterinary
schools to serve as the certers Of scien-
tfic investigation and of nurseries Of ex-
pert scholars in this field, all meat inspec-
tion must be farce, no matter how much
money the government expends upon IL, or
what the law may prescribe. All attempts
to prevent the spread OF animal diseases
such as Texas fever, hog cholera, ETC.,
must be largely futile, and all police meas
ures looking towards eliminating tubercu-
losis, bubonic plague and other diseases of
man derived primarily from animals must
be largely emperical and ignorant. The
new veterinary college Of the University
of Illinois will be distinguished from all
schools of the kind in the United States
by the emphasis placed upon scientific in
vestigation into the causes OF animal d.
seases and their relation to human d.
sease and the means by which such
disease can be prevented. The legislature
of Illinois made an appropriation at the
last session for this school, and it is hoped
that 1t may be largely increased at the
approaching session.
