Show REPORT OF THE SUI'ERINTENDENT OF INDIAN SCHOOLS. WASHINGTOND,. C., October 1, 1895. SIR: T have the honor herewit11 to transmit to you my second annual report, togetl~erw ~ t na number of valuable papers read a t the three Iudiau school service institutes held during the summer months. In consequence of the failure of Cougress to furnish me a secretary to whom I migilt intrust the management of the lninor details of luy work, I have been unalrle to push certain reforms inaugurated in 1894 as vieorouslv as I had h o ~ e dto do: nor havc I , because of the scautv i~~,~) r ;~r i attii~&rm ~y t r a v e l i ~e~x~l ) r~~srbse,e ll alrle to give to tlie sclloolr tbnt degree of person:~ls uperviniou : I I I ~ : lid to \rhivl~th ey are elltitled. ~ \ tthe same time tlrr vicissitucles of tho service at no til~le aforded me the assistance of the entire corps of supervisors. During the entire year at least one of these officiated as acting superint,endent in some boarding- school, and at one time two of the supervisors were so occupied. Nevertlneless,,thanks to the energy of these gentlemen, I have been enabled to obta~nre ports of inspections fro10 all boardi~~scgh ools, with fern exceptions, as well as from nearly o11e-half of the day schools. At the same time thefull and explicit regular and special reports furnished me by agents aud superintendents enabled me to form a fairly good iclea of the more imnerative ueeds of the service.
