Show REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. 11 The reservation boarding school should be a great feeder for the non-reservation hoarding schools. Pupils who have passed through iits curriculum are then ready for additional advantages. Superintendents of these schools ace constantly admonished by the Indian Office of their duty with respect to these advanced pupils. The great majority have readily responded to this policy of Indian education, although at times some, through a mistaken zeal for building up their own scbool, have not sent to the nonreservation schools as many pupils as their cnrrienlum and exoellence of teachers warrant. The reservation and nonreservation boarding schools are coordinates of each other, and their work as it becomes more systematized will develop greater results. There were 75 of these schools conducted last year upon the various reservations, brief statistics of which are set forth in the following table: T ~ n m4.- Locntion, capaoity, and date of opming of Government resm3atim boardi?bg sohoois. . .. .- Laoation.
