Water supply and facilities at Jones Indian academy in southern Oklahoma are described as desperate. Bureau officials told a Senate sub committee the 1871 era school is partly frame and brick, in bad repair, with a stairway to dorms nearly collapse and limited student access. Enrollment rose to 175 from 100 since 1906, and some students sleep in the attic. Officials seek an agreement with Hartshorne for water to fight potential fires.
