Ninety reservation boarding schools were maintained-three fewer than in the year before. The decrease was due to the burning of the Menominee School at Green Bay, Wis.; the abandonment of the Ouray School, on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in Utah, and the transfer of the pupils to the Uintah School on the same reserva-tion, and the change of the San Carlos Boarding School into a day school. The reservation schools of this class had an aggregate en-rollment of 11,007, and an average attendance of 9,64R pupils, a decrease in the former of 395 and in the latter of 382.
