Harris's proposal to build elementary schools for Indian children on reservations so they can live at home and attend school like non-Indian children.

Senator Harris responds by stating that he is not in favor of closing schools like Chilocco and Bacone, but rather opposes transporting young children far from their homes to attend boarding schools. He also mentions his efforts to secure funding for the Eufaula Boarding School and increase funding for Indian schools for teachers and guidance personnel."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_197_3_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20Indian%20Schools,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_197_3_010_thumbnail.jpg "Senator Fred R.
