WHITE SCHOOL FOR INDIANS

Agency System to Be Ended at White Earth as Result of Progressive Spirit. White Earth, Minn. —School district No. 112, in Becker county, has been created. It embraces the whole of the village of White Earth and vicinity, and will serve to abolish the present government /lay school in the village. The government officials have signified their willingness to transfer the buildings, now occupied as day schools, including seats, desks, schoolbooks and other equipment, to the use and purposes of the new district, provided Indian children are not discriminated against. It is not at all improbable that within a very few years every Indian school on the reservation will be merged under district school management The progressive classes generally are heartily in favor of the district school system. This will be a step toward the of the pres ent agency management of Indian affairs in the state.
