INDIANS FINANCE
THEIR OWN SCHOOL
Metlakahtla Indians raised enough
money to open a school which is en
tirely divorced from the influence of
Father Duncan. The younger natives
subscribed liberally, gave up one of
the finest buildings in Metlakahtla
for the purpose, and wired to Seattle
for instructors. A man and his wife
arrived at Metlakahtla on the Dolphin
to assume charge of the institution.
The natives have been waging an un-'
successful fight for the establishment!
of a government school. For some j
reason the Department of the Inter- !
ior refused to authorize the eBtab- j
lishrrient of the school, yet villages |
of much smaller- population were giv-;
en schools.
