Show Flan to Make Indians Self-Supporting. A policy which, it is contended, will settle the Indian question for a generation genera-tion is announced by Commissioner of Indian Affairs William Jones, in his annual report. His plan is to give the Indian opportunity for self-support, the same protection of his person and property as given others, throw him on his own resources and to enforce on him realization of dignity of labor and the importance of building and maintaining main-taining a home for himself. Mr. Jones says that at the outset the Indians must have aid and instruction and necessaries doubtless will have to be furnished him until his labor becomes be-comes productive. t?ntil the Indian has become a part of the community in which he lives, day schools, the commissioner com-missioner says, should be established at convenient places, where the Indian may learn enough for ordinary business transactions. |
