About This Book

A board representative recounts a visit to Choctaw and Cherokee mission stations, describing stops at multiple schools and extended consultations with station staff. He summarizes travel arrangements and the warm, prayerful reception he encountered, emphasizing the missionaries' commitment to their work. The report traces the background and consequences of recently enacted Choctaw school laws that introduced a board of trustees, a general superintendent, and limits on teacher authority, pupil selection, and instruction, and explains how those measures affected the Board's contractual control over boarding schools. It concludes by recording areas of agreement reached in conference and recommending administrative steps to resolve tensions and clarify oversight.
