The text discusses the importance of continued support for Indian schools, particularly the Carter Seminary Indian School. Correspondence from local communities emphasizes the need for funding to prevent children from being deprived of a home and education. The Bureau of the Budget has requested an increase in funding for Indian education for the fiscal year of 1948, as costs have risen since the previous year. The speaker believes that the schools are already underfunded and improvements are needed for the health and safety of the children. The speaker urges Congress to thoroughly investigate and make improvements to Indian schools, as it would be a grave injustice to deprive the children of opportunities they have had.
