![["The document discusses the merits of the present system at Chilocco, highlighting the professionalism of the staff, the successful history of producing good citizens, flexibility in training, good moral standards, and focus on instilling pride in Indian heritage among students. It also contrasts this with the disadvantages of contract education, expressing concerns about lack of success in other areas, potential lack of improvement, exploitation of students by contractors, and potential negative effects on students' cultural identity. The document argues against the B.I.A. relinquishing responsibility for education to contractors and emphasizes the importance of maintaining the current system at Chilocco."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/91st%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_10_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_10_141_9_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Chilocco%20Indian%20School,%201969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_10_141_9_0030_thumbnail.jpg "An Analysis of the Current Education System vs Contract Education at Chilocco Indian School")
