SCLC #746 — Tonawanda 1883 federal table: three district day schools, not manual-labor boarding

The 1883 CIA “Statistics of Indian Schools” (printed p.254 / PDF leaf 334) lists three Tonawanda district schools, Nos. 1–3, each expressly classified as “day.” Grouped school population 140; day capacities 40/40/50; attending one month or more 41 / 25 / 44 (sum 110); average attendance 20 / 22 / 25 (sum 67).

These rows demonstrate continuing ordinary district instruction. They do not show that the proposed 80-acre manual-labor boarding facility opened. Grouped population 140 must not be multiplied by three; aggregate 110 is a sum of three school-row counts, not a proven count of distinct children without rolls.

Craft held: day-school rows≠boarding school; table omission≠never-opened-forever; one-month-or-more≠ADA; sum-coincidence≠same measure; 1882 vs 1883 number differences≠causal enrollment claim. Chain with #743 (1882 three day schools) and #739 (1881 idle decaying).
