They are so located as to he of easy access to the pupils who return each evening to their homes. Usually they are in charge of a man and his wife, the former being the teacher and the latter the housekeeper. A noonday lunch is generally pro-vided, and as a rule it proves a healthy stimulus to the attendance. It further enahles the housekeeper to give some instruction in the civilized way of keeping house and preparing a simple meal. Cleanliness as well as deportment is carefully inculcated. ' The development of the day schools is an important factor in the civilization of the Indian. They are usually situated near the homes of the parents, which gives them an opportunity to see their little ones frequently. It breaks the ice and makes a transfer to the boarding school much easier. Of course day lichools can not take the place of well regulated boarding schoolu, but they most admirably lay the foun-dation on which these schools can work systematically and effectively. |
