The Rules for Indian Schools which the Office of Indian Affairs
began to issue in the 1890’s directed that Indian pupils be
required to attend church services. Students at government as well
as mission schools returned from weekend leave in time for chapel
on Sundays. In the early days of the Government School Rev. Roberts
acted as Chaplain, later Catholic as well as Episcopal services
were held.
