The amount paid H Ponicvrliat lysi than the avenijocost per capita of children maintained In Govern ment schools. There anj alo twenty-three schools maintained ty churches and tuhoclu Uons without expense to the Government, and to the nupport of which the Govern ment contributes nnthlnir. Three new In-clti-trliil schools have been completed and put into successful oper.it Ion during the lust year. One atChllocco, Indian Territory, with capacity lor over 1W children; one at Law rence, Kaniaa, with a capacity for So"! chil dren; and oije at Genoa, Nebraska, with a capacity for JfiO. The Cliolocco Fchool wan opened Jauunry hud, and although lt capac ity was only rated at ISO children. it nvunxw attendance has been IC8. Tho Genoa nehool Is situated on the old Pawnee reservation In Jr"ebrasi;ii. was opened In February last with jin attendance of HO Sioux. Tho boy.s have cultivated Hlr acres of potatoes, M-eral iicroa of fnirdcn truck, 140 acres of corn, and ftfetj'iicrcHof oatM, and assisted in tnakiiiK brick and other vork about tho place. The completion of tho buildings at Lawrence, Kan., was delayed by the cold weather an veil as delay In tho payment of the contract or; t ne Jii-Ht Comptroller iionimr mat me themoiey intended for that numoe was not sivullabie, ConKreosautliorl.ed the use of the appropriation us llrst intended, and the work wag resumed. The buildings, however, were ziot completed until In. July, too late to com jnenco school for tho season. Heven l;oy, transferred from Chiloeeo to Lavrcnee, and xtndur direction of tho Superintendent of linnlnjr, and one white laborer, cultivated jiiboutonu luiMdred and twenty acres of corn, cats and millet, several aero3 of potatoes, etc., and have helped crest a barn and other luiUdinjrH. Tho school was open for the fall term with an nttendance of one hundred, which will bis increased to thiee hundred. JV now Mdiool buildlnir has been erected at JVlhuqucrquo, N. M iutemlcd to arcomiuo dato about one hundred and fifty children. Jnder the provlFlons for tho placing' of In lfan children in industrial hdiools in .States, at an expense not to oxceed f PT7 per capita, five hundred and sixty-live children liavo Im-'dii placed in fchoois from the lollowinjr States: Kansas, Kebruska. Iowa, Illinois Indiana, PcunsylvarJa, Xorlh Garolina, Ten-t)es.-ee, WIseuiiRin and Minnesota. Quite a number of Indian children, who have had nic training in manual labor schools, have been placed In private families, mainly froi.1t Carllslo nnd Hampton. It Is believed that lierealtcr quite n number may be placed In private families from Genoa and Lawrence. ITKUfi.

When an Indian youth has 1hcu taught to labor ho is self-supporting, if nn opportunity is presented to him to secure employment. Ono great difllculty tact with Is, that when tho young of both sexes return o the agency there Is no remunerative em ploymeiit for them. They lack capital to open and cultivate a farm, nnd If they have acquired a trade, thoy find no employment of that charactor. It is as necessary that some employment should he secured for them an it is to teach them to labor. An In dian educated at Government expense should nut bo allowed rations but should receive en couragement to labor by donations of stock. Implements of agriculture, etc, and theu be i compelled to tako enro of himself. MANlTAtrT.AUOU SCHOOLS FOR CHILDREN. The greatest agency for tho civilization of 'the Indian is tho manual-labor school. In deed, I do not think I shall be far out of the way if I say the only agency for that purposfi Js the manual-labor school. In former re ports I have gone into tho question at con siderable length. While tho argument is by no ncaus exhausted, it docs not seem profit able to discuss a question now admitted by . oil falr-inindod men to hnvo passed beyond thodomalnof speculntJotiordoubt, The his tory of a few mauual-labor schools estab 'lishod for tho educatlon.of Indian children 'lias demonstrated thoirgrcat value, and that it is only necessary to multiply thclrnumber. so us to includo all tho Indian childron of tvchool age, to forever sot at rest tho quostion of "what shall bo done with tho Indians?" JVn honest compliance on tho prt of the Government with tho conditions of tho treat ies with tho various tribes concerning schools will substantially provido ull the schools required for the education of all the children of school ago whoso attendance wo can hope to secure. Tho amount duo under "tho various treaties to tho sevonil tribes bcrein named, I gave last rear as amounting to the total sum of $3,759,499. The amount now duo aftnr deducting Jill appropriations for school purposes fa $,(H3,7U0. This monoy Is now duo. A largo part of tho money so agreod.to be paid was In consideration of land ceded to Rio Gov ernment by the Indians. It is not a gratuity, lait a debt duo tho Indians, incurred by tho Government on its own motion, and not at the request of the Indiana. It is true that the debt is duo to dependont and weak peo ple who have but little disposlon to complain of the neglect of tho Govornmont to fulfill Its Obligation and aro wanting In ability to com ipol the performance thereof; yot their weak ness and lack of disposition to complain ought to stimulate tho Govcrntuont to sa credly perform all tho provisions of treaties providing' for tho education and advance aaent of these nooplo. Not only a direct ro lrard for our plighted faith demands this, but our interest also demands it. la my last annual report I called attention to tho various treaties providing for tho edu cation of Indian children. I submitted a statosHmt for the sum required to fulfill such trcatios. It appears that there was duo :&t the close of tho fiscal year 1BS4 the sum of 93,759.400. I again submit the statcinont bo wing the amout duo at tho close of the scal year 1885. Statements showing amounts -which should havo boon appropriated up to ,.
