Excerpt from The Call of the Red Man: As Answered by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs of the United States of America; What Will Be the Answer of the Dominion of Canada? "Lord, open the eye of these men that they may see." - 2 Kings, 6 : 20. My Dear Archbishop, - The Secretary of the Interior of the United States kindly promised to send you from Washington a copy of the last report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and of the Superintendent of Indian Schools. I trust that these have been received by you, and that amongst your many and important avocations you will be able to peruse them. They are of great interest and most helpful to all engaged, as you are, in considering the true solution of the Indian questions that are now claiming most earnest attention in our land. It is at the same time, humiliating to learn how much higher the standard of the United States in these matters, is than that set by us; and to read of the high ideal that is presented by the department up to which their officials are to live, and the diligence with which it insists that they should fulfil the obligations that are cast upon them. It is impossible to procure enough of these pamphlets to make a general distribution among those whom it would be well to educate, and are interested in Indian Affairs. I thought it well to make some extracts from the many valuable statements that are found and to have them printed and circulated. I trust you will approve of this action, and that you will accept of 100 copies of this pamphlet, with this explanation, for distribution among those whom you think will be interested in its perusal in your Diocese and the neighbourhood. Extracts from the last report (1907) of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and of the Superintendent of Indian Schools for the United States of America. At page 26 of the report of the Superintendent to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for 1907, Mr. Samuel T. Black, President of the State Normal School, San Diego, California, makes this most suggestive statement: "The American people view with keen satisfaction the really earnest efforts now being made by the Government through the Indian Bureau for the amelioration of the Indian´s condition. Shall it consist in continuing it as a ward of the nation? Or shall this guardianship gradually give way to and prepare for intelligent and responsible citizenship? There can be but one answer - citizenship. Commissioner Leupp has committed the Government, beyond recall, to this policy." The last report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, being the seventy-sixth annual report from that Department, informs us of the fact that the last Congress "ended as it began" with a most striking array of important permanent legislation respecting Indian interests.
