When Francis Fl: Leupp was the COM
missioner of Indian affairs under the
Roosevelt administration he said it was
his belief that before many years had
passed the Indian would reach such Il
stage of civilization that it would no long
er be necessary to look on him in the light
of a child needing guardianship. Mr..
Leupp ~ trained writer, and his reports
not only We're accurate and authoritative
but they were far removed from the lines
of dreariness of most government docu
ments.
Today the former commissioner of In
dian affairs is seeing his hopes fulfilled.
In the last few years the change in the
condition of the Indian has been marked.
Many of the men who have studied the
present-day life of the Indian, and among
them is Mr.. Leupp, believe that the nom
reservation schools should be abolished.
The Indian boy who is sent far away from
the reservation to get his schooling among
the whites is surrounded with the applt-
anccs of highly civilized communities
which he cannot hope to have in his
home with his own people. He goes back
to the reservation to conditions that arc
in a sense shock to him.
nearly to the need OF boys and girls who
are to live the life to which temperament
naturally would fit them. The Indian
gradually is approaching the white mans
condition of civilization. 1t will not be
long before the guardianship OF the gov
eminent safely can he withdrawn.
