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.

a letter on the subject, in which he fully
concurs, written by Secretary Noble in

Noble took the ground that it is best to
prepare the Indians for labor and self-
support by a good, ordinary common-
school education, ana wnen mat nas
been attained to place them upon lands
or in other places of labor and not keep
them for many years still studying the
higher branches of Uarning. 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. . .
