Theco!ldiiions aereonlj the more aggravating because of the fa,?[ that tlicre was no iudiridual who could be charged with the evils. The appro;~t.iatio?wt as large enough to support more pupils, but not large enough to provide schoolrooms, though the dormitory room irss at hand. liesda.-A whmlhouse is our lint andgreatest need.

This i s a most trjing condition and w a ~ag gravated the past year bji the fact that the chil-dren were offered by the Indians and had to be refused because of lack oi room. The necessity of a hospital for the isolation of pupils affected with contagious diseases needs no display of rhetoric to win appreciation. A cnmmissary large enough to hold the supplies and protect them certainly should be allowed and a man made responsibleforthecare of the property. The barn is not a desirable place to store crockery, queenswsre, and molasses, par-ticularly as these articles crowd provender and tools out of doors; nor was the guard house intended for the recoption Of subsistencoin wagon-load lots, while the blacksmith shop is by no means the best storeroom for bacon; but all of these have been used as indicated and tima in issuing consumed accordingly. Notwithstanding the labors of the friends of the cause only the schoolhouse and hospital are among the remote possibilities for tho coming year. Furniture for thedormitory erected last year and for the laundry now being built are imperative demands for this year. Land for summer grazing must be set apart or all hope of sustaining a beef herd abandoned forever. Very respectfully, THEO. G. L E ~ O N , Superintendent.
