GREEN BAY AGENCY, KESHENA, WIS. JOS. C. BRIDGMAN, ESQ., AGENT. The Stockbridge tribe take very little interest in education. The head men, not specially interested, voted to have only six months’ schooling, paying the teacher but $25 per month. As this tribe receive $3,800 a year, the same being the interest on their funds in the hands of the Government, this meagre sum is illiberal. Rev. J. Slingerland, who has been both preacher and teacher for this tribe for many years, is still retained. While the number of children of school age is twenty-five, with nearly as many of the “old citizen” party, who are not allowed privileges, the greatest number attending any one month is thirteen, and the average for the year is ten. The church membership is twenty-nine. The Oneidas are making an unusually good record. Their crops are nearly or quite one-third larger than last year. The school attendance shows an increase of thirty-seven, and the church membership fifty-three over last year. The Methodist Mission-school is unfortunately located for reaching even a fair number of scholars, and Rev. S. W. Ford, without additional compensation, has opened a school a mile and a half distant; his daughter, Miss Mary W. Ford, teaching the Mission school without pay. The records of the two schools are seventy-nine scholars enrolled, with an average attendance of forty-five, against an average of twenty-six for the one school of last year. I am urging upon the Department the wisdom of establishing this new school, which was started as an experiment, with the result as above. Unless thus sustained it will be abolished, as Mr. Ford cannot give his time without reward. The church membership, 178, has had some twenty-five additions the past year, as the result of a revival in the fall and winter of ’77–78. Two or three of its members have been licensed to preach the gospel. Exception to the rules of the Methodist Church is made, and Mr. Ford is now on his sixth year at this post, being found peculiarly fitted for work among the Indians, whom he well understands, having lived with this and other tribes of the State. The Episcopal Mission-school has enrolled 114, many of whom are induced to come by gifts of clothing, etc., supplied by the Episcopal Mission. Average attendance for the year forty-five and two-ninths. The Episcopal Church is well attended by a serious and devout congregation on the Sabbath. Membership 150. Although there is a lodge of Good Templars with this tribe, I regret to say that some of the members do not realize the sacredness of their oath as they should, and falling from grace is no uncommon occurrence; yet it has brought about a radical change with some who have been confirmed drunkards for many years.
