Pueblo-Continoed. CONTRACT SCHOOLS. The system of giving governmental aid to schools carried on among the Indians by private parties goes back almost to the beginning of Indian education. In 1819 $10,000 was appropriated by Congress for Indian education, and a circular was issued by the War Department September 3,1819, which contains the following: Snoh soc cia ti one or individuals who are shady actually engaged in eduoatiug the Indians, and who may desire the cooperstion of the Government, will report to the Bepsrtment of War. * * In proportion to the means of the Government cooperation will be extended to suoh institutions as may be approved, as well in erecting their necessary buildings as in their current expenses. In 1820 twenty-one 8chools carried on by different religions societies were aided by theGovernlnent to the extent of $11,838, about one-sixth of the amount expended by the societies themselves for these schools. In fact, in the earlier years there were very few schools among the Indians which were not condncted under the auspices of some religious society. It was not until 1870, when Congress made an appropriation of $100,000 ''for the support of industrial and other schoolsamoug the Kin men .. a ~ f b , ~ . : : : .:. ..............
