Reservation schools, situated in the heart of the Indian country, are perpetual reminders of the civilizahon which lies ontside the reservation. Here the Indian parent can occasionally see his children, note their progress, and involuntarily receive some idea of the benefits of education. The efficiency of these schools has been largely increased and the personnel of their employees improved. The curriculum adopted for them is the outgrowth of yews of careful study of their reqnirements. The majority of them have large, commodious, and well.arranged build-ings, while others are merely ~nakeshiftsw, ithout modern conveniences. An industrial training, more or less varied, is even, but of course it is not so extensive and elaborata as that at the larger nonreservation |
