Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 30: February, 1895Why cannot the people Of this great nation, with their wealth Of resources in water and land and other privileges, allow to the poor native who once pos sessed the whole country some spots of land which are productive and capable of sustaining the members Of their families? We think they are entitled to this much, and that the people Of the United States can well afford to feed and educate the savage rather than to fight him and seek his extermination. The efforts at education among the Indians have been gratifying. True the young men who have'been taken to eastern schools where they graduated and have then returned to the homes Of their wandering relatives, have ire quently_ relapsed into savagery, but where they are systematically trained to study and work, they have proved themselves equals in most instances Of the white man.In their schools they are making great progress, not only in the higher condition of intellectuality but in their regularity of attendance. The average attendance of school children in the Indian Territory, too, has increased in the ratio Of about 15 per cent. Per annum during the past three 'years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
