PUSH AND PULL MEET
ING WAS BIG SUCCESS

Waterworks was reviewed by Mr.. L.

facts which were not generally known

 Secretary Fishers formal letter states that the government had long left the education of the Indians to religious mis- sionaries; and that when 1t finally began systematic handling of the educational problem, 1t took over many of the re- lgious schools and brought their teach CTS into the government classified service.
 The transfers thus have often been effected by the governments renting de- nominational schools and taking over the whole plant and the teachers as well, ? said President Taft.
