I seem to recall from Henry Zenk's dissertation that back in the early
days, school kids at Grand Ronde were punished for speaking Jargon. So
at least in that area it would be kind of hard to believe that Jargon
was taught in the school or even used as a bridge to English.<br>

<pre wrap="">Agreed, so what was this fella trying to tell the interviewer? Did
teachers try to build on pupils' knowledge of Jargon in order to teach them
in English? And was there a movement to make Jargon the state of Oregon's
official language?

Page 240: an old settler recalls in an interview:
"We talked a jargon that was got up for the Indians; and that was taught in
the schools. I used to could speak that jargon better than I could English
and we had an i-dea [sic] that was goin' to be the standard language here
in Oregon."
