Even now considerable sums are expended by the various missionary societies for schools, doing good here and there, but of little service in civilizing a whole tribe or nation. It may be said if this policy shall be adopted for the Sioux it should be for all other tribes as well. The answer is that the burden is enforced upon us by the treaty of 168, so far as the Sioux are concerned, and no other treaty im poses a like burden. There are from 2, 000 to 2, 51'0 children about the Red Cloud agenc...y, and no school has been established there, or any attempt made to have one. There are 2, 000 in the neighborhood of Spotted Tail agency, and no effort worthy of that name has been made at this agency to establish a school. At the Cheyenne River agency there are probably from 1, 000 to J, 500 children, and a missionary school, with an average attendance of 20. The Commissioner of Education estimates that there are 10, 217, 825 children in the United States between the ages of six and sixteen years, or about one-fourth of the whole population.
