The great mass of whiles in the territory, desire and must eventually succeed in securing educational advantages tor their children. Public policy dc- munds it and, therefore, it is only a matter of time, In the meanwhile, however, under present methods, the Indians are not progressing, anu while these fertile lands aro erected into a separate government, unless there is change, its people will be confronted sViih a more serious Indian problem than was ever before Iho country. The mass or Indians recognize the defects of the present system, and feel the evil oft'ects of fovo'ritism for the children of their more powerful neighbors.
