Ethnology, Peabody Museum, Archeological Institute, &c., what 
charming and useful books they could have written. The same 
is true of the Reports of Indian affairs, both under the War De- 
partment and under the present management. Notwithstanding 
their ignorance they did give us some very precious information. 
With the growth of anthropological studies, the amount of solid 
information in the Report of the Commissioner has kept pace. 
The volume for 1882 contains 525 closely printed pages, and from 
its correspondence and tables may be gathered a very intelligent 
understanding of the name, location, number, occupation, educa- 
tion, industry and status of every tribe of Indians with which the 
_ Government has to deal. Especial attention is invited to the 
report of education, now for the first time accorded a separate 
table (316-327) in which industrial progress is combined with 
mere school instruction.
