Educating the Indian: Riley backs English basics and limited higher education
Washington reports Superintendent Riley's visit to western and southwestern reservations yields a strong endorsement of English literacy as the core of Indian education. He argues that higher education is largely valueless and that Carlisle and Hampton schools could be closed without harming the cause. He urges expanding Lawrence and nearby facilities to provide higher education and industrial training for tribes in the Indian Territory, New Mexico, and Colorado. Carlisle is praised as excellent, though costly relocations are unnecessary. The plan favors concentrating schooling closer to home and extending existing regional schools to meet needs.
