Show KOU 'I'll !; ,tt OK OI K VAHIs. Two sites are being discussed for the locution of the Indian school in southern south-ern Utah. One is an ideal location between Washington arid St. George-b.-aufiful, convenient to the Tniliai. homes and in touch with civilizatioi.. The other is up in the mountains, Isolated, Iso-lated, inconvenient arid destined to be unpopular if chosen. The people of Southern Utah who know the country arid the needs of the Indians ai'e almost unanimous in their advocacy of the former site. The agent sent to pick a site is believed to favor the latter. If the best interests of the government govern-ment and of its wards are considered, the school will be located between Washington and St. George. Heretic Indians will be near the place where they send their children to school, and at lire same time near those who furnish fur-nish them with the means of making a living. To isolate the Heboid, to force the Indians to remove from where they are mostly located at present, will be to make them more dependent upon the government for support, and less able to rely upon their own efforts, which the people id' that portion of the state . have long encouraged and assisted them to do. There should be no mistake made in the selection of a site. Tf the school is lo be a success and the purpose of the government properly carried out, the right location must be chosen. Herald. |
