Abstract
"The school opened with fair prospects of success. Most of the Yakimas are yet engaged in gathering their fall crops, providing wood for the winter and require the services of their older children for the present, so that only the younger have yet been sent to the school. The number now present is about 40, including 15 Piutes, which we expect will be increased to 60 in one or two weeks. This will be as many as can be accommodated at present. The Piutes are greatly interested in the school and anxious to send their children, but believing that the Yakimas are primarily entitled to the school we have not yet felt justified in admitting more than fifteen at present."
