The text consists of a series of letters regarding the request for the Federal Government to purchase two army buses to transport Indian children to public schools in Kansas, Oklahoma. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs explains that the State of Oklahoma guarantees a minimum educational program for the school, which receives state aid funds. The purchase of buses would set a precedent and invite similar requests from other districts. Congressman George B. Schwabe is working on the request and promises to do everything he can to put the suggestion into operation.
