Progress of Indians Under Government Training
Superintendent James K. Allen of the United States Indian Industrial School at Albuquerque submitted a detailed annual report to the interior department. It highlights rapid growth of the school, strong progress among pueblos under supervision, and improvements to facilities, including new workshops for blacksmithing and carpentry, and a printing office to teach Indian typesetting. The report notes irrigation and water issues, a 66 acre farm with alkali soil, and plans for a pumping plant and expanded land for future development. It provides enrollment figures by race, details on work programs with boys sent to Rocky Ford beet fields, and financials showing net earnings around $2,350 for the year.
