of two 
or three colored women, the girls have done the washing and ironing for the
entire 
school. Through the winter the washing averaged about 5,000 pieces per week.

SCHOOL-ROOM WORK. 
In organization and methods few changes have been made since my last, annual

report. The pupils are classed in nine sections, each of which is under the
care of a 
teacher. The addition of 52 Apaches in February of last year. of 6-. Pueblos
in Au- 
gust, and of 46 Osages in September, very few of whom bad any knowledge of
Eng- 
lish from previous instruction, gave us 155 new pupils for our four primary
schools. 
The transfers and other changes made during last year to effect a better
grading 
have, in a great measure, proved successful. Our review papers and annual
exami- 
nations show more uniform work from classes than ever before. 
The difference in the progress of adults and children, as beginners, is markedly
in 
favor of children, especially in the first year. In the higher grades it
is not so 
marked. There has been a healthful rivalry between schools. This has been
effected 
in part by freq'uent written reviews, the papers being occasionally exchanged
and 
compared, or results noted. The children, who are more likely to be careless
in pen- 
manship, have thus been led to emulate rhe neatness of the older pupils,
while the 
adults have been stimulated to keep up with the children. 
I take extracts from the reports of teachers to give a general idea of the
grading 
and course of study as follows: 
Primary school, section 1 (children's primary-average number of pupils,48).--"
My 
school opened this year with almost all new pupils. The morning class was
com- 
posed entirely of beginners, six of whom could understand and talk a little
English, 
but could not write or read. After a few weeks I divided them into two grades,
and 
at this time the first grade has finished Appleton's chart, besides being
able to write 
200 words and short sentences, describing many objects. In numbers this division
is 
thorough in the Grube method as far as 9. Several of them can write short
letters 
without any aid; among the number two little boys, between the ages of eight
and 
nine, who did not know a word of English when they came." 
Section 3 (adult primary-average number of pupils, 55).-"During the
year I 
have had in my department three classes of beginners, making a total of 57
under my 
care. The first class has used the Model Reader, and will finish the book
this year. 
In connection with their reading they have had written exercises in making
sen- 
tences on a given word, in writing answers to questions on the lesson, and
descrip- 
tions of pictures. In arithmetic they have finished all the combinations
of numbers 
as far as 15, and write solutions to simple practical examples in the four
rules. They  - 
have accomplished more, in proportion, than the other classes, because of
four month's 
schooling the previous year, in which they became accustomed to school work,
and 
thus were ready for progress." 
Section 4 (primary adults and intermediate-average enrollment, 41)-"At
the be- 
ginning of the school year my department was very large, comprising 57 pupils.
