Thanks for your first contribution to the FamilySearch Wiki.

One thing that we would like you to be aware of is the purpose of the Wiki. The content of the Wiki is generally about "instructions on how to find, use, and analyze records that are genealogically useful." (See more here: https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/FamilySearch_Wiki:Purpose_and_Appropriate_Topics).

The information you have provided adds to our knowledge base of Indian schools but does not state how it may be of genealogical research significance. We would appreciate you adding any more information you have that directs researchers to data repositories that may be helpful.

Additionally, I wanted to double check the name of the school. It appears that it should be listed as St. Stephens, and that it is the predecessor of the current St. Stephens run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (also see the talk page for your St. Stevens page). Please let me know if this is the case. I can move the page to the correct title for you.

We look forward to your continued participation in the wiki and are here to assist you if you need it. Please feel free to respond on my talk page or by adding comments here.
