Indian Affairs Report Calls for Expanded Indian Staffing
The report by Commissioner William A. Jones urges systematic study of individuals and environments in outlying Indian schools, targets abolition of the reservation system, and stresses employing Indians in all positions. It notes 2 562 workers, 20 522 students in schools, and warns education may extinguish tribes within a quarter century. It criticizes coeducation results as costly and ineffective, cites staffing gaps, and recounts mismanagement in boarding schools and Seminole affairs. The Chippewa incident is cited as evidence of flawed arrests and abuses by deputy marshals.
