Wherever the doors of the district schools are opened by the State authorities to Indian children the opportunity is seized to give them the advantage of education in the same classes and under the same methods prevailing for white children. A multitude of young Indi-ans are taken into the common schools without charge; but as a special inducement to the State authorities to foster the coeducation of Indians and whites, where other satisfactory arrangements can not be made. a contract is made for payment of a stipulated sum, usu-ally equal to that allowed for white children, for the average attend-ance of the Indians. Contracts were made with 12 district schools for 123 Indian pupils, which is nearly twice as many as were made the previous year, and gave an increase of 56 in the number con-tracted for. The number of pupils enrolled was 128, an increase of 34, but there was an average attendance of only 58, an increase of just 8 for the year. |
