Indian girls have been taken to Los Angeles from the school at Fort Mohave Tbo plan is not a good one and the better plan would be to teach tho Indians agricultural and other pursuits and then sot tie them down iu colonies with a white iusttuctor to handle their affairs until tbey became self governing It might take several generations but it would develop the Indian into a citizen The taking away of the youug girls from among the tribes will surely have a demoralizing effect on tboso remaining and bring on a condition that will be harder to handle than the Indian problem is at present Ground
