All of these schools seem to be doing excellent work in advancing the cause of Indian education and civilization. These institutions are controlled by the church authorities, who fur-l nish the amounts required for their support and maintenance, Govern-ment aid to sectarian schools having been withdrawn after Congress in the appropriation act for fiscal year 1901 discontinued the contract-school system.
