"when the school is one the reserve, the child lives with its parents, who are savages, and though he may learn to read and write, his habits and training, mode and thought, are Indian. He is simply a savage who can read and write. It has been strongly impressed upon myself as head of the department, that Indian children should be withdrawn as much as possible from the parental influence, and the only way to do that would be to put them in central training industrial influence schools, where they will acquire the habits and modes of thought of a white men."
