Miami, Okla., April 2. — Resenting a course of events that resulted in the resignation of Superintendent George M. Tyner and three assistants most of the student body of the Seneca Indian school of Wyandotte, near 'here, "struck" today and are departing for their homes.
Tyner and the members of the faculty who quit with him are members of the Seneca tribe. They resigned following the removal several days ago of O. K. Chandler, a Cherokee, as head of the Quapaw Indian agency when they learned of a remark attributed to Thomas Roberts, an Indian bureau inspector, that "an Indian should not be superintendent of an agency."
