    The President may, in every case where he shall judge improvement in 
the habits and condition of such Indians practicable, and that the means 
of instruction can be introduced with their own consent, employ capable 
persons of good moral character to instruct them in the mode of 
agriculture suited to their situation; and for teaching their children 
in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and performing such other duties as 
may be enjoined according to such instructions and rules as the 
President may give and prescribe for the regulation of their conduct, in 
the discharge of their duties. A report of the proceedings adopted in 
the execution of this provision shall be annually laid before Congress.
