In the last two years, and particularly within the last six months, the Indian schools, as a whole, have filled up with pupils as at no former time. Almost all the schools are crowded, many are waiting enlargement and some reservations are in pressing need of boarding schools—among them the Rosebud, the Navajo, the Apache, the Papago and the Lower Spokane. On the five reservations just specified, containing over 30,000 Indians, and a school population (five to eighteen) of not far from 8,000, there are only four boarding schools with a capacity of 350 pupils. On one of these reservations (Rosebud) there are day schools with a capacity for about 400 more, leaving 7,250 children upon these five reservations with no local school accommodations.—New York Ledger.
