Choctaw Nation.-Under the provisions of an agreement tentatively made with the principal chief, superintendent of education, and trustees of the Choctaw Nation, and printed in full in my last Annual Report, on page 128, the schools of this nation have been oonduoted for the past year. Eli E. Mitchell represented the Choctaw Nation under these provisions, and the United States was represented by Calvin Ballard, supervisor. The teachers of this nation receive additional compensation by admitting white children to the neighborhood schools. They are paid quarterly in cash. There are 190 day or neighborhood schools, and 5 academies or boarding schools, with an enrollment in the day schools of 3,074 Indian children, and 6,244 white children (the enrollment of white children includes those in all the town schools); 509 Indian children were enrolled in the academies. There are 30 neighborhood schoola which do not admit white pupils. Supervisor Ballard says: Considering the uncomfortable school buildings, the absence of necessary equip-menta, the inconveniences of the teachers from a social standpoint and in securing suitable boarding places, the general progress of the schools has been fairly successful. The establishment of 9 small boarding schools in localities suitable to accommodate children who live remote from the neighborhood schools haa proved a successful and admirable arrangement in secnr-iug good results. |
