Show 360 REPORT OF SKTPERINTENDENT OF INDIAN SCHOOLS. If to this we add the fact that the civil service rules can be readily changed wherever they operate as hindrances, there is every i*eason to cougralulate the 1ndia11s chool service up011 t l~efa ct that snperintend-ents, teachers, and matrons are appoiuted and hold their positions nuder t.he civil-service lam,.aud that the ,present administration has seen fit to add to these the assistant teachers heretofore placed in the nnclassified service. I earnestly hope that in due course of time every position in the 111dian school service will come within the provisions, or at least nuder the spirit, of this lam. Even now I am pre.pared to reeom~mtrd earnestly that the positions of disciplinarian, industrial teacher, aud sea,mstrtiss be transferred to the classified lists as soon as practicable.
