Introduction describes history of white and Indian engagement as driven by both greed and Christian philanthropy (on the part of whites). The report goes on to cover the prior work in Indian education by Reverend John Eliot, Reverend John Sergeant, and Reverend Eleazer Wheelock. Other sections of the introduction cover persistence of spirit of work, shortcomings, period of inaction, resumption of work, decay of missionary effort, and present organization (which covers reservation and non-reservation boarding schools, industrial training schools, Haskell institue, Carlisle, contract schools, and supervision). It ends with a conclusion and outlook section that includes a section on schools of Indian territory.
