Charter School Petition

Petition to keep the school running.

Hon. Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
Washington D.C

Dear Sir:

Where as, having been informed that the Superintendent stationed here at Bay Mills, has sent his resignation into the Indian Office: and where as, having approached the Township Supervisor with the proposition that the Indian School be dispensed with and the present attendance take over by the township: and

Whereas, knowing that it will be utterly impossible for the Indian children to attend same, during the severe winter months: and

Whereas, having always had a good attendance at all times warrants the retaining of the school: and

Whereas, knowing positively that rather than work for the benefit and uplift of Indian, he has been very antagonistic with same, and for this reason, we respectfully petition your honor to ignore the reccomendations [sic] of the teacher, and that the school be retained same as heretofore.

Very truly,
[Signed by many]
