Finding #743 — CIA Annual Report 1882, “Statistics of Indian Schools,” printed p.322 / PDF leaf 400: explicitly lists “Tonawanda, district No. 1, day,” “No. 2, day,” “No. 3, day” under school-population 105. Column “Number attending school one month or more”: 37, 41, 50 (sum 128). These are separately enumerated district day schools, not a line for the proposed manual-labor boarding school. Sum 128 happens to match Magoffin’s Oct 1881 “128 of 163… some portion of the time,” but “one month or more” ≠ “some portion,” and population 105 ≠ age 5–25 count 163. Day-school listing cannot establish that the separately financed manual-labor institution opened (Casler 1881: idle/unoccupied/decaying). Omission in 1882 is not conclusive proof of ultimate fate. Craft: day-school rows ≠ boarding school; sum-coincidence ≠ same measure; table omission ≠ never-opened-forever. repo.
