One of the first matters of imnortanco that will be presented to the next Con gress will be the bill, already framed, providing for the establishment of a Na tional Board of Health, with headquar ters in Washington Citv. The board, as devised by the projectors, is to co-operalo wiin the state and municipal authorities in the matter of sanitarv improvement. The boldest feature of the proposition, and one that is likely to result in a seri ous controversy, is that which bestows upon the board legislative, ind'cial and executive powers c' an independent character. It is a matter of snroriso imoni a large number of army officers that so many should be willing to accept details at Indian agencies. It has already been explained that these officers are willing to go to Indian ntrencies in order to get i id of disagreeable associations and the dull routine of camp, but another factor which would seem to deter them from going to agencies is tlie fact that all offi cers are now examined for promotion, and that they would be mnch more apt fx- be promoted if thev continued in tlie active service instead of going away from it. It is claimed that all army officer who accept Indian agency details will keep np their studies on military mat ters, so that they may be able to pass the examinations when promotions are offered them.

More over, he says, there are great numbeis of children of the Indians who have no opportunity for education whateer. They need this elementary education, and the funds designed for Indian edu cation should be expended in a way to reach the greatest number rather than that a very few should receive a uni versity training. . .
