PATIENCE UNTIL THE INDIAN IS CIVILIZED — SO TO SPEAK.

Secretary of the Interior. “There are two methods of Indian management possible: either to herd and coral the Indians under the walls or guns of a military force, so to speak, so as to watch them and prevent outbreaks; or to start them at work upon their lands, to educate them, and to civilize them ...... There are in the Army a great many gentlemen who have good ideas about the Indian Service, but it is one thing to have ideas, and another to carry them out, and I think that the patient labor and care of detail necessary to raise the Indian tribes to a state of civilization would not be found among the officers of the Army.”
