We believe that those who read in this number of the Missionary the communications from Capt. Pratt, Gen. Armstrong and Prof. Riggs may ask with good reason, Why not develop at Santee an industrial school for the Indians, of like character to those at Hampton and Carlisle? Already fair beginnings have been made. As will be seen by a cut published herewith, we have good grounds, several attractive and suitable buildings, with other improvements. By an examination of a map with reference to the location of the different Indian tribes, it will be found that Santee is accessible to seven tribes, numbering over twenty thousand souls. The railroad systems of the vicinity are such that no great difficulty or expense would be experienced in bringing students together. The tribes speaking the Dakota language number more than those speaking any other Indian dialect on the continent. The churches already established among them, with a membership of 847, are in full sympathy with the Santee school. No difficulty is likely to come from a lack of students, as already the institution has during the present year been obliged to turn them away for want of room.
