It will be observed that there is an apparent increme of one in the number of these schools, but in reality there has been none, the fact being accounted for by reporting during the year Riverside and Ferris schools as separate institutions. By act of law they are now conducted as one school, thus making no increase in the number of nonreservation schools. Reservation Boarding Sahoo1s.-This class contains the largest number of Government schools. Ninety-one were opcrated during the year. Their capacities range from 40 pupils to 350, with an average of about 150 pupils. The policy with reference to this is that no reservation school should exceed 150 to 200 pupils, for the reason that the great majority come direct from the camp, and require more individual care and attention than at the nonreservation schools, where as a rule they are older and have had some training on the reservation before entering therein. The Tulalip Boarding School, in Washington, was destroyed by fire early in the year, and as no other arrangements could be made for the pupils the school was discontinued until the new plant could be constructed. On the Crow Reservation, in Montana, the new Pryor Creek Boarding School was completes and opened in February, 1903. After years of promise the Indian school on the Southern Ute Reserva-tion, in Colorado, was finisbedand opened for pupilsNovember 19,1902. |
