Indians To Be Trained In Useful Vocations

Washington, - The increasing use of Indians in their own official and unofficial service "must be pressed without wearying" John Collier, Indian commissioner, urged in his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30.

Collier said that to this end adjustments of civil service to Indian needs must be sought. He added, however, that in order that standards may not be lowered, opportunities for professional training be made genuinely accessible to Indians.

"With respect to unofficial Indian self-service, a steadily widening tribal and local participation by Indians in the management of their own properties and in the administration of their own service must be pursued," Collier said.
