BOABDINGI.SCHOOLS OFF FROM ~ESE'&VATIONS. The system of boarding.schools off from reservations, now in success-ful operation, is slowly but surely accomplishing revolntionary and desirable results. Children from different tribes are brought hgether hnder influences where all tribal differences disappear. They learn to respeot each other, and are prepared for association together as fellow-aitizens. They hear and nse only the English language, are removed from the contaminatiug influences of camp life, become aocnstomed to the usages of civilization, and are trained to habits of industry, thrift, and self-r?lidnce. TEE OUTING SYSTEX:' I quote from the American ~ i t i z e np art of an article writ& by Mr. H. M. Jenkins, an intelligent and experienoed observer of the prac-tical workings @th. e system : The plan of " plao~ngo ut" the young men and young women from the Indian aohools millnteined by the Government has now been in operation for more than ten years, and haaacqaired, both es to the members so placed and as to the measore of saocess realized, proportions which oau not be questioned. The Indian is capable of sust~ine.3, systematio labor. He is a good worker. He has traitsofhia own, hut he has the general charsateriatics of mankind. Where he differa from the white man the points of difference are not all to his disoredit or his disadvantage. The,inheritanee |
