Show mPORT OF BUPERINTENDENT OF INDIAN 8OHOOLB. 411 BYNOHI18 OF REPORT73 OF COMMllTEES WAICH WEEE UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED. Oommittee on proper assignment of pupils, etc.-We find that the existing arrange-ments between the three Government hoarding schools and the miasion hoarding school on this agency are quite satisfactory; that each has its well-understood con-stituency, that the few changes asked for by parents can beeasily arranged, and that the relations between theae schools are cordial and perfectly harmonious. We believe that it is not necessary to ask for any other changes and it is doubtful if any could be legally made. We therefore recommend that the existing arrangements between the boarding schools on this agency he continued without change. 2. In order to have a systematic transfer of pupils from day schools to boarding schools, we recommend that the following principles he accepted by this institute, and that the agent be requested to issue an order making these rules obligatory on schools and ~ t s tha:t al l children residing within reasonable distance of a day school shoul attend such school, from the age of .6 till properly transferred else-where; that all healthy children residing too far from a day school, and all orphans not provided for by relatives, shonld attend the proper reservation hoarding school; that when day-school children have completed the third grade, or without having done so have attained the a b of 14, they should he promoted to the proper boarding school if physically fit. 3. In relation to transfers to nonreservation hoarding schools we recommend as follows: that when pupils have rompleted the sixth grade, or without having com-pleted that e have attained the ageof 17, they should he decidedly encouraged to be trans8 e"rr"e d to some nonreservation school; that we do not oppose the trans-fer of pu ils vounger than thia when the parents desire it; but that no pupil should he trans&rrld to a nanreservation school under the am of 12, and we res~ectfully request tht itcent ru reitlie hi? a llnN.nl tu slit h tran4rre:.
