5000 little Indians went to school : a survey of the first four critical growth years of school starters enrolled in federal schools in 1964 : report / prepared by: Education Branch, Department of Indian...: R44-53/1971E-PDF
"In 1964, when this five-year survey of the beginner group enrolled in federal schools was initiated, Indian education had reached a critical point in its development towards goals that had been foreshadowed, if not defined in the recommendations of the Joint Parliamentary Committee of 1948. The break with the traditional patterns of education, established centuries earlier, was almost complete. The enrolment in federal schools had reached a plateau at about 32,000 and a gradual decline was predicted as more comprehensive agreements between the federal and provincial governments were concluded in consultation with Indian communities. New services, such as guidance, language arts supervision, intercultural teacher training, vocational training and kindergarten expansion, were gaining strength and support, and through those and other services we looked for the solution to some of the deep-rooted problems plaguing the education of Indian children"--Preface, p. 1.
