The article discusses the conditions at the Chilocco Indian boarding school and raises concerns about other Indian schools facing similar issues. The Bureau of Indian Affairs conducted a survey of 12 boarding schools and found shortages of supplies and teachers. The superintendent and principal of Chilocco were relieved of their duties. Senator Fred R. Harris demanded a full report and the formation of a task force to address the situation. Additionally, rumors of a hidden Chinese city beneath downtown Oklahoma City were investigated by an expedition.
