Scope and Contents

McMaster's plan for helping the Indians will somewhat interfere with the plans of the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions of which General Charles Ewing is Commissioner and the Very Rev. J.B.A. Brouillet is Treasurer. Their plan is set forth in the "Manual of Catholic Indian Missionary Associations," which was published by McMaster. The Ladies Catholic Indian Missionary Association of Washington, D.C. has Mrs. Madeleine Dahlgren as President and branches of it have been set up in many cities under the approval of the Bishops. This group has already helped the Prefecture Apostolic of the Indian Territory through the Indian Bureau and will continue to receive aid along with other Catholic Indian Missions in the U.S. The plan is that bands of 15 people be formed, each sending $1.00 a year to Father Brouillet, the treasurer. Our missions were lost to us in our first assignment because we had no representative head, but now we have one approved by the hierarchy. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
