Whites in Indian schools push to legalize mixed attendance
Commissioner Leupp of the Indian Office will urge Congress to legalize allowing white children to enter Indian schools on the same basis as Indian children. The policy aims to break up reservations, allot land, and place wards of the government on self support while funding education for mixed attendance, with the Indian bureau paying per capita costs similar to white pupils. Lenon's policy previously permitted white access, and an amendment to the Indian appropriation bill is being prepared.
