Scope and Contents

The text discusses the importance of federal government assistance for missionary schools, small day schools, and tuition payments for public schools attended by Indian children. It argues that without this assistance, many Indian children would not have access to education and that tuition payments are necessary to offset the tax exemptions on Indian lands. The author requests that the Committee recommend appropriations as requested by the Bureau of the Budget and references a resolution from the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
