Subject(s): Church schools, Education, Indians of North America, Leupp, Francis E. (Francis Ellington), 1849-1918

Roosevelt supports Leupp’s idea to allot the funds currently held for the tribes to individuals, as that would help alleviate the question of money either being provided or not provided for various religious schools.
