Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: To the Secretary of the Interior for the Year 1875 The school-reports do not show a gain in education equal to that shown in the products of labor._ This is due partly to the want of increase of funds for school purposes, but more largely, I believe, to the accurate reports of the last three years respecting the school attendance. The monthly report of each teacher furnishes the means of entire correctness as to the numbers above quoted. This report would have shown still more gratifying results but for the fact that for want of later returns the statistics for four civilized tribes in the Indian Territory are taken from the report of 1872. There is every reason to suppose that among these people there has been a larger proportion of gain for three years past than among any other Indians. For general information concerning the different tribes, and the con dition of their agency affairs, reference is made to a summary statement: given hereafter.
