The first funds available for Indiate
education arose from the commutation
by certaiu bands of Indians of their
animal distribution of anununition.
This contribution began in 1848 and
ended in 1862. The first grant by Par-
liament was made 2in 1875.6, when
several day schools were opened in
Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime
Provinces. In 1E379-80, the first asp-

about not splitting forces In doubtful
