4m w - CHEflAWA, OREGON, FRIDAY NOVEMBE 8, i?oi. FORGIVING ALL. If I knew you and you knew me If both of U9 could clearly see. And with an inner sight divine The meaning of your heart and mine. I'm sure that we would differ less And clasp our bands in friendliness; Our thoughts would pleasantly agree ' . If I knew you and you knew me. If I knew you and you knew me, As each one knows bis own self, we Gould look each other in the face. And see therein a truer grace, Life has so many hidden woes, So many thorns for every rose; The "why" of things our hearts would see If I knew you and you knew me. Nixon Waterman. Education Circular No. 57. Department of the Interior, Offiee7nf In . dian Affairs, Washington, October 12, 1901. To Agents and Bonded Superintendents. The Indian School Rules provide that "Once enrolled in a government' school pupils will be considered members of that school until separated therefrom by author ity of the Commissioner of Indian affairs," and it is further provided that " When an fluent isr notified to the return to his reser vation of a pupil of a non-reservation Bchool he shall take the necessary steps to inform himself as to the legitimacy of his return. Shall he find that the pupil, can not produce satisfactory evidence or proper authority for his return a full report of all the facts must be made prompt I v to the Indian office and the superintendent of the school notified thereof. The purpose of the foregoing rule was to prevent frequent changes of pupils from one school to another, which is demoraliz ing to the school force as well as to the pu pils themselves.

This is a reprehensible practice which must discontinued. There shall be a community of interest between all non reservation schools and especially in this matter, for their mutual protection. There fore, wherever this office is informed that the superintendent of a non-reservation school has enrolled in his school a pupil belonging to another non-reservation school, he will be required, at personal ex pense, to return that pupil to the school to which he belongs. Attention has also been directed to the fact that sufficient care is not exercised by the various superintendents of non reservation schools in satisfying them selves beyond the doubt that a pupil who has heretofore been enrolled in- a non-reservation school has not been discharged therefrom or otherwise properly released. To minimize this as much as possible, you are hereby directed that in every case of . the discharge of a pupil from a non-reservation school under your charge to im mediately notify this office and also notify the superintendents of all non-reservation schools, giving a description of the pupil, and superintendents are forbidden to re ceivesuch pupils intheirschool without ex press order fron the Commissioner of In dian Affairs. Complaints have reached this Office that the collecting agents sent out by certain non-reservation schools have failed or neg lected to observe Indian School Rule No. 17, which directs that such collecting a gents, before attempting to collect on a reservation, must first report to the agents. Hereafter superintendents of non-reservation schools who do not properly instruct their representees and whose representees
