Denominational schools.-The early history of the educational move-ment among these tribes was hound up in the mission and denomina-tiond work of the various churches. They were maintained in their infaricy by contributions fro111 the "States," butafterwards the different councils were induced to render aid by appropriations, which enabled thesr, people to enlarge their plansand increase their e5ciency. Finally the councils undertook the sole management, with the result as shown in previous reports of this department. Deprived of tribal aid, the . churches instead of abandoning school work established and maintained for themselves other schools, many of which are considered the best in . the Territory. Whites and Indians are admitted on equal terms to theso schools, and are taught in the same classes. A fixed tuition fee is charged, although poor children are frequently admitted free. i |
