That is a fixed and definite policy of the Government. and it does not require existing law to maintain a provision of that sort in the bill. We provide in almost every bill for buildings for the education of Indian children. We provide for their instruction. and we appropriate not under treaty stipulations for a great many Indian tribes. and the only possible vicious character there could be in this provision would be that It provides for the education of certain noncitizens. those who are residing in the Territory. but who are not members of the respective tribes. and permits them to be chargeable against the fund appropriated. Now. passing from the legal status of the question. I would like to state that there is now a small school for the blind in the Territory. at Fort Gibson. being conducted by two or three young ladies. who are supporting it through charity collected not only in the Territory. but in the adjoining States.
