The United States withdrew its last occupation forces from Germany, with the 156th French Infantry playing The Star Spangled Banner and La Marseillaise as they departed for Antwerp.
Ft. Apache was made a school for Native Americans children by statute, which provided:
§277. Former Apache military post established as Theodore Roosevelt Indian School
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to establish and maintain the former Fort Apache military post as an Indian boarding school for the purpose of carrying out treaty obligations, to be known as the Theodore Roosevelt Indian School: Provided, That the Fort Apache military post, and land appurtenant thereto, shall remain in the possession and custody of the Secretary of the Interior so long as they shall be required for Indian school purposes.
(Jan. 24, 1923, ch. 42, 42 Stat. 1187.)
As most readers here know, such schools have been subject to enduring controversy. This school, however, still exists under this name.
