<h1><span class="date">1915: </span> <span class="title">Schools must keep children healthy, Commissioner states</span></h1>
<p>American Indian parents grow anxious about the safety of sending their children to government boarding schools, whether by choice or by government coercion. Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Cato Sells, responds. He tells the Congress of Indian Progress, an organization dedicated to the social advancement of American Indians, that it is the schools “chief duty to protect … the health and constitution of Indian children.”</p>
<p>“There is something fundamental here: We cannot solve the Indian problem without Indians. We cannot educate their children unless they are kept alive.” —Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Cato Sells</p> <!-- Theme -->
