The day schools are the outposts of Indian civilization. Situated 
near the homes of the old people, they are centers from which radiate 
some measure of better living, better morals, and better habits gen- 
erally. There are 139 of these schools among the Indians, an increase 
of one over the preceding year. They have a combined capacity of 
4,874 pupils. During the last year they had an enrollment of 4,399 
and an average attendance of 3,271, a decrease of 35 in enrollment 
and an increase of 68 in average attendance. Five new schools were 
organized, as follows: Volcan (Santa Ysabel), N. Mex.; Moapa 
River Reservation, Nev.; Moencopi, Western Navaho Reservation, 
Ariz.; Green Grass, Cheyenne River Reservation, S. Dak., and Lao
