 | Naming the Indians |  |
In line with the foregoing is the following further regulation
on the subject by Dr. W. N. Hailmann,
General Superintendent of Indian Schools, which refers to Indian
youth in the government schools:
Names by which pupils have previously been known should be retained as far as practicable. If an English name is given to the pupil, the Indian name of the father should be retained as a surname. Vulgar or otherwise offensive sobriquets, such as "Tobacco," "Mogul," etc., should be discountenanced and abandoned.
