The Socialization of the American Indian

The unsolved problems of the American Indian are greater than ever. The Indian population is slowly increasing owing to education and better custodial care. The Indian Bureau is continually extending its services and of necessity increasing its expenditures. The educational work is rapidly improving. The grat problem is the assimilation of the Indian into ordinary independent citizenship. The changing attitude of the Indian toward education and the "white man's" civilization, results as shown by Haskell graduates, and indications of change in social contact outside of school are discussed. To make the Indian a citizen among citizens in the political world and a co-worker in the industrial mechanism with a recognized place in the social world is of prime importance.
