1 HISTORY OF by CHEMAWA Charles B, Laraen It has been ay ambition for many years to write the history of the Chemawa Indian School and to this end I have gathered, here and there and from time to time information concerning items of interest, however, let it be known here and now that this is not official nor am I under any obligations to any individual or organization - Just my own idea and in justice to the institution nothing will be recorded unless bsoked up by items already published in newspapers, Indian Service school papers and public reports, although I reserve the right to add comments here and there. It is believed that a better understanding of the problems faced by Superintendent K. C. Wilkinson, the first superintendent, and his successors in office, will be had by reading the annual reports from February 25, 1880 to September 20, 18861 INDIAN TRAINING SCHOOL Forest Grove, Oregon Sirs In accordance with Circular letter, dated Office Indian Affairs, July 18, 1 80, to Indian agents wi-th reference to annual reports, I have to state that I have anawered all applicable questions contained in said letter, and returned it herewith. i*3y reply would have been in at an earlier date had X not been necessarily absent. From this letter to agents it is evident that it is the desire to obtain all possible information oonoernlng this school, WORi. ACC0 . 2D FROM FEBRUARY 25 to JUNE 30, I860 quot;finder this head, during the four months and four days during which this school has been in operation, I can do no better than make a thorough quotation from one of ay special reports- that under date of April 12, 1680, ss followsi K quot;in November, 187 gt;, received informstlon that a psrt of the 13.000, allowed for the Indian school for this fiscal year could be expended in the erection of a building. The 1st of January, 1880, the building was completed, but being constructed dfaring incessant rain, the month of January and part of the month of February was needec to dry it sufficiently to render it sefe for occupancy, * ** It will give ample accomodation for 75 children, and is Intended for girls. Have also purchased lumber, which is already on the ground, sufficient for an addition to the boys' quarters, which will also accommodate 75. I have also pu up a building sufficiently large to subdivide into a carpenter, wagon, blacksmith, tin, shoe, and harness shops. This building for shops and the boys' addition was constructed entirely by ay Indian boys, under the direction of my teacher, who is as well a practical mechanic,*****To prepare comfortable buildings for 150 children, furnish the home, secure If, and complete arrangements to more than fill the required number, 25, for this fiscal year; to clothe, subsist, purchase boons and stationery, pay teachers, pay matrons enc oook, each one of them efficient, will, I trust, oe considered both by the honorable Secretary of the interior and the Sonars issioner of Indian Affairs a satiefactory expenditure of the 5*000 allowed for this current fiscal year.* 1880 The administration of Indian affairs, and the friends of Indian Education generally, will be gratified with the real success obtained during the time this school has been in operation, and the results fully Just- tlfy Woe wisdom of a complete separation of Indian children drom their parents and the debasing influences of their homes with their associations. COST OF MAINTAINING THIS SCHOOL The Pacific University, near which this school is looated, has neither dormitories nor a boarding-house, so that, from the very first steps taken, the Office of Indian Affairs has done end must do everything. Tools, material for shops, agricultural implements, and all instruction must be furnished here, as at Carlisle Barracks, directly by the government, so that while this school will be directly benefitted by the fostering care of the university, it is as much by itself in its necessity for assistance as though it were a thousand miles away froa its present location. Since the formation of this government no money has been expended by it from which such ample, such lame late, and direct returns have been made. Now, when it is the evident policy to break up reservations, dividing lands In severalty among the Indians, it certainly would seea that our lawmakers would see the wisdom of aa clng full appropriations for the special support of schools in character li e this, where so many Indian coys and girls may be at least measurably prepared as teachers, housekeepers, craftsmen, and farmers, for the trying change which so speedily and surely awaits thea. Respectfully subsaitted. M. 0, NIL INSON First Lieutenant, Third Infantry, in Charge of ochool. To Commissioner of Indian Affairs, e * . gt; gt; 0 TRAINING SCHOOL ?0R INDIAN YOUTHS Forest Grove, Oregon, October 4, 1881 Sin I have the honor to transmit the annual report of this school in accordance with circular letter, dates; office Indian Affairs, July 1, 1881,w and herewith return answers to all applicable questions contained therein. My last, which was also ay first report (which was for four months only) left me Substantially as followsj with 18 scholars, 4 girls and 14 ooys, Puyallup Indians ay buildings incomplete; the work but Just inaugurated the battle Just commenced of locating an Indian school in a community where the hope was expressed that the buildings might burn down before scholars could be gathered to put shea in then. STATEMENT OF FACTS WITH REFEREMCI TO ORK ACCOMPLISHED School filled to one more than tee maximum allowed, viz, 76; of this number, 48 are boys and 28 Bre girls, divided as follows: Puyallups,20j wara Springs 2; wascos, 13j Piutea, 1; Pitt Rivera, 2; Spoaanes, 191 Chehalis, 4; Nesquallys, 1; Alaskana, 12; Or star Haya, 2. 1881 With my boya alone, aave only some general instructions with regard to farming given by my former industrial teacher, we have put up a second building 32 x 60 feet two and j half stories high, with woodshed and wash-roor- attached, 24'x 15 feet, have clapboarded all the buildings outside, and ceiled the principal aooms inside, using over 33,000 feet of rustic; have put in eight dormer windows, four in each principal bulldl g, giving all two coats of paint; manufactured all nee ed bedsteads, dining and study tables, school desks and seats, besides fitting up my office in good ahape, with drawers for blanks and papers, and desks. Have Just completed the erection of a large board roofed building 80 by 24 feet, for wood-shed, drill-room, and gymnasium; have also laid 887 feet of sidewalk, dug out a large number of fir stumps, and have otherwise beautified the grounds; have planted four acres of potatoes and one of beans, besides making garden, BLACK3MITHING The blacksmith shop is located in town, thus securing to the apprentices, eight in number, the advantages of agricultural implements to mend, horses to shoe; in short general bleeksmithing. I took with me on my last trip after Spokane children, a wagon wrenoh made by a Spokane boy, and sent it to his father who, holding it up in council ealdt in what other school has ever a Spokane boy been taught so that he could do like this. I here give a short report by my blacksmith. I would respectfully report, that after eight months' Experience with the Indian boys you have placed under my instruction, in the blacksmith department of the industrial school, that I have found them to possess the same traits of white boys. Some learning aore rapidly and readily than others, but I am glad to say that they all seem to show a desire to learn, and that they have all made commendable progress, as can be seen by any one, by calling at our place of work. I regret that we lack some kinds of work, such as a good wagon shop could furnish, and I believe that a wagon shop upon the same plan of this blacksmith shop, would more then self-sustaining, outside of the instructor, and famish more of a better variety of work for the blacksmith department. I wish to specially mention the good behavior of all the boys under my care, I have never known them to use unbecoming language, or to be discourteous to any one. SHOEMA ING The apprentices, six in number show even greater proficiency; they have done for some time all the repairing for the school, and have now commence the manufacture of shoes. I give a short abstract from my shoemaker's report* They have gone far beyond my expectations; they learn very fast and take a great Interest in their work. There are six boys working uhuer my instruction, who began their first work January 1, 1881; today, they are capable of doing as nice a Job of repairing as is usually done in any country shoe-shop. I believe they will make a success at shoe-making. SAM'L A. WALER i J 1881 CARPENTERING Need I say more than Invite attention to what I have already said with reference to work accomplished in building, etc., the most of the work having been done by eight boys. p WAGON-MAKING I only await authority to commence tnis much-needed oraft. From careful estimates, I do not hesitate to say that I can save the government a large per cent by manufacturing wagons here for Indian agencies on this coast, besides giving this very essential instruction. GIRLS' INDUSTRIES They are started at the wash-tub, given thorough instruction in cooking and general housekeeping, in mending, cutting and fitting garments for themselves, and shirts and underwear for the boys. The children in the departments mentionea are now oreparing specimens of their handiwork for exhibition at the Mechanics' Fair, to be held this month in the city of Portland. This will greatly assist the cause, in showing to the publio what has already been accomplished in the matter of preparing these Indians to be self-suppotlng. Of the result of this exposition I will inform the flepartment. ADVANCEMENT IN STUDIES I give you a word from the Hon. M.G. George, a member of Congress from this State, as indicating his opinion of their advancement in the school-room. On the occasion of his visiting the school, after he had concluded some remarks, without previous notification, I told the children that they each might prepare a written statement from memory of what he has said to them, and I would select the best two and forward them to him at wash ngton. In acknowledging the receipt of them, Mr. George aaidt l must express to you my gratification on receiving from you the result of your request made the day I visited the school. The two statements made by the Indian pupila of my remarks are very good indeed; better in some respects than the original. I very much doubt if any of our race could have done better than the two whose work you sent me. Yours very truly, M. C. Gearge This testimony, coming from such a source, cannot be too highly considered. Mr, George is a man of high culture, a native of Oregon, has lived all his days in a country where, to say the least, there is no poetry in the Indian question, and any success in the matter of Indian civilization, in order to meet his approbation, must be genuine. Puajjlng general Indian education rapidly and to successful issue, cannot be done at the end of a pair of tongs, nor by any one who has an Idea that the Creator must have made a mistake in creating this race. Men and women with faith in God and the gospel of hard sanae and work, and who go about their teaching and work unparplexed with the doctrine of evolution or the survival of the fittest, who expect results, the Be always haye them. J 1881 Portland, Oregon, is noted for a high standard in public schools. The country superintendent and one of the Board of Directors, who is also the superintendent of the Presbyterian Sunday-School, and other gentlemen who are educators, who have visited this school, say that when recitation is in unison, the English words are spoken as distinctly as in the day and Sunday-Schools of Portland. The first rule here after cleanliness and ocedlence is No Indian Talkft The delegations from different tribes are divided and subdivided until all tribal associations' is broken up and lost. Over and over again and all the time are the children impressed with the fact that if they only learn to apeak English well their coming is a grand success for them and their people. This and their entire removal from family and reservation influences ard the points of highest hope, so far as this and kindred schools are concerne, . How truly speaks an Indian agent, who is as successful as any in the Service, and who writes me as f Hows, depicting the influences surrounding reservation schools. I had written him with reference to two children from his reservation whom I had thought of returning. He says* *I have no objection to your taking all the children you can get; the more the better. You have a much more civilizing mill than I have, for the reason that your school is surrounded by a people who talk in the English language only, while my school is surrounded by a people who speak a barbaric Indian language, and are on the lowest round of civilization. When your school children step out of their school they mingle with a higher type of civilization, which, helps them up; on the other hand, when the school children at step out of their school they mingle with a low type of civilization, which pulls them down. For these easons if the T ' children are not to be abandoned as hopeless and re egsted to barbarism and the devil, I would earnestly advise that you keep them. Children, notably the Spo snes, who are among my latest arrivals, in less than three months are talking Itnglish at least under standingly, and are repeating whole verses, memorized by ear, even before they fully comprehend the meaning. The record of the year for this school closes with many who have been doubters as to its practical results changed, to its firmest friends and warmest advocates. This, too, in this new Northwest where, as I have said before, there is no poetry in the Indian question. The conduct of the scholars on the street and in public assemblies is characterized as being lady-He and gentlemanly, and public opinion gives the outspoken expression that the school ceased months ago, in any sense, to be an experiment, but is in fact in successful operation. METHODS I have not reported methods in detail. Our text books are the best, and those in use in the common schools. Outside of Wilson's charts and some large cards for object teaching, used in instructing the beginners who do not understand English, I have Tound it neceeaary nor advisable to provide more than would be provided for a common school. J 1881 Continually prompted by the older pupils, who, at work, at play, and in the dormitories, not as mentors, all new comers soon find that to talk Indian will bring them into disfavor with their companions and draw upon them the reproof of their parents, who have uniformly earnestly requested me to see that their children should not talk their Indian language, HEALTH The health of the school has been excellent, not one case of serious Illiness has occured; while, without exception, the health of the children has greatly Improved. This has been no small item in favor of the school among the Indians, and certainly is cause for great thankfulness. SYSTEM OF REWARD From the start I have felt that when the government takes up the children from the reservation, transports them to the school, feeds, clothes, and educates them, and while it is the solemn obligation of the government y,o do so, the best interests of the Indians demand that at this point help shoul cease; and so the apprentices at the different trades, and the hoys who have done so much building, have been made to feel that duty to themselves, to their race, and to their government, demanded cheerful oce lence, faithful service, and their best energies. I should greatly deprecate any feelings amomg them that they ought to be paid for learning a trade, tilling the ground, or in building the monument they have in the way of buildings, etc. They enjrer heartily into this view, and spring eagerly to their work, in the knowledge that this community and State have markea their diligence and now accord them the credit due to their enterprize and success. And this Inspiration is worth more to them, in character building, than any money that could be put into their hands. I count this culture, next to English speaking, and cleanliness, the str ngest element in this school. FARMING One hundred and flftu acres of land for this school, with a reasonable outlay for farming implements and stocK, would produce quite sufficient to provide subsistence for 300 pupils, besides giving the absolutely required instruction In agrfcculture ,the foundation industry. The 4 acres upon which the school buildings stand, now the property of Pacific University, should be purchasdd at once for the school. It can now be bought for 375. There should be 300 pupils in this school. ince writing the foregoing I have been authorized by the Department to take 10 Umatilla children; thse, with 5 others, exceptional oases, which I have promised to take, will make a total of 90 in this school. 36 girls and 54 boys. Respectfully submitted, K. C. WIL NSOJI Jirst Lieutenant Third Infantry, in charge To The uomialssioner of Indian Affairs. 1 TRAINING SCHiOL FOR INDIAN YOUTH m Forest Grove, Oregon September 14, 1882 Sir* I have the honor to submit my annual report. At last it would seem that the governmnt has hit upon a plan for the education and civilization of the Indians, promising the highest results. Theories respecting it have been offered for best essays on Indian education, but from past results one would quite naturally conclude that the question had been how not to do it. Now, it must appear that the question should be, not to give prizes for the best theories, but to find men to go and do it and then back them with all the strength of the government in their labors. Isn't it about time to bury that historical omnipresent Indian who graduated at Yale with distinguished honors and returned to his paopae and relapsed into tenfold heathenism, and who is paraded as the only result of the labor of our government for the last two hundred years in educating and civilizing the Indian ? WORK ACCOMPLISHED As indicated in my last year's report, I obtained the ten children allowed from the Umatlllas, and they have done exceedingly well during the ten months of their stay in the school. The least promising at first are now among our best workers on the and in the classrooms. The t6i i Umatlllas' Indians, generally, seems' greatly encouraged by their letters and the advancement they have made. Tabulation of school. Chehalis 6, Alaskans 12, Nlsquallles 3, Oyster Bay 2, Pitt River 2, Piute 1, Puyallup 22, Spokanes 18, Snohomish 1, Umatlllas 10, 'farm Springs 2, wascos 12, a total of 91 54 boys 37 girls, BLACKSMI THING The apprentices In the blsksmith's shop, seven in number, have, according to their instructor's report, made aartiealax commendable progress in their craft, and have won friends, particularly in the farming aommanlty, by their uniformly pleasant manners, as well as by their good work. The receipts of this shop are as follows* . J Cash aeceived for labor for regular and transient customers from July 1, 1881 to June 30, 1882 1,038.32 Amount stock on hand 0.00 Amount as oredlt to shop 1,068.3* Amount paid for stock same period..... 547.08 Amount to credit of shop 541. 24 SHOEMAKING The shoe-shop Is also located centerally in the town. The apprentices eight (8) In number, have done good work, and are commaded by their instructor for obedience and industry. The receipts are as follows: Cash received for labor from o4arch 1, to Aug.31,1882 133.95 Amount of work for school, shoes made and repftred 212.21 Value of tools on hand,bought during that time 10.45 Value of stack on hand,bought during that time 44.00 Amount of credit to shop. TTooToT Amount paid for stook, same period 16 .56 Amount to credit of shop 23i.05 J CARPENTERING In this department let me condense the work of the last two months, as an unanswerable argument as to what Indian boys can accomplish when Inspired by the thought that they are working for their people. They have put up additions to both dormitories, 32 by 32, 24 feet high, 2 gt; stories. Upon the girl's dormitory a sick ward, double walled, 25 by 36, 12 feet high; an addition to the kitchen 14 by 28, 12 feet In height. These additions to the girl's buildings are substantially finished, being clapboarded and painted. These repairs include two bay windows and four dormer windows. They have also In this time made seven bedsteads. Thirteen boys have done this w rk, under the direction of the osrpenter. FARMING In referlng to work accomplished upon the farm, I anticipate somewhat the next year's report. In April, I was authorized to employ a farmer (please see remarks in reference to the farm) and rent his farm of 45 acres. The work has been done entirely by ten boys, under supervision of the farmer, ana his report, which follows, will give the total amount of supplies already received and estimated, vlzs SUPPLIES Onions Beans Potatoes Cabbage Apples Plums Pears Pasture Peas Beets Turnips Corn Hay Tomatoes ACRES 21 1* 2 14 3/16 2 3 3*: 3 6 1 1/16 TOTALS 5 bushels 300 dozen, table 96 bus, els 340 bushels early potatoas; did not do w well, owing to drought. 120 dozen 150 bushels 6 20 bushels tt *6 153 154 1,272 dozen ears, table 10 tons (estimated) 10 bushel In addition to the work done in the shops, the boys have run a sewer 750 feet long at an average of 4 feet deep, and have sawed fifty cords of wood for winter use, besides working in the surrounding harvest fields. The local press of the country notes the fact that without the help of the boys of the Indian school some of the farmers of this section would have had greet trouble in harvesting their crops. One paper has raised its warning cry for the protection of white labor against Indian. The boys have worked side by side with the white man, earned the same wages, and, as has been state-, won the credit of working harder than the average white young man, and this in a section of country where it has always been claimed the Indian woulu not work. Justice and truth demand this statement, even though it may appear rose- colored and may be considered injudicious. Certainly I am justified in giving the testimony of those for whom they have worked. REVIEW So far we have recorded the annual reports of superintendents as to the progress made in the estsblishment and operation of the school, ana, we are sure that all will agree that not only the superintendents but sil employes and students deserve a great deal/credit in their efforts to make a success of the school. On November 11, 1879, E.A.Hoyt, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, telegraphed Lieut. M.C.Wllkenson, Forest Grove, Oregon, as follows* Office grants you 5,000 for first year, but 25 children must be educated instead of twelve. On February 25, 1880, a little over three months later, Lieut.Wilkenson, telegraphed the Secretary of the Interior as follows* Sohool under way, 18 boys and girls. More ready to come. Need balance of appropriation this fiscal year. School is open with 14 boys and 4 girls. The first session of school was held on February 26, 1880, MONTHLY SCHOOL REPORT by Geo. F. Boynton, Principal Teacher and Mrs. J. T. HuCCt Feh.29, 1880,; This school was opened Feb'y 25 with eighteen scholars, 14 boys and 4 girls. The first session of school was held the 26th. Much is to done in preparing the grounds about school building; this will give manual labor for boys until shops can be built and the season for garden comes. The girls will assist the matron in preparing the home, Tt is understood that this school when fully organized will be of the same character as that at Carlisle Barracks. The ehlldren gathered are from the Puyallup Reservation, Puget Sound, all except one Nisqually boy. The winter has been so severe that it has been impossible to gather a larger number of Indians. Twelve weeks covers the ti e from the commencement of building until school was opened. Building is 60 by 32, two stories with kitchen and woodshed. Altogether school opens encouragingly; children happy and contented working and studying heartily, (Chemawa Weekly Americsn. Vol.12,No.33 2-25-1910) First Pupils* Admitted Feb.25, i860- From Puyallup- David Brewer, Henry Slcade, Jerry Meeker, Peter Stanup, Nugent Kautz, Augustus Kautz, Willie H. Wilton, Harry Taylor, Charles Ashue, Samuel Ashue, Samuel iVicCaw, Julia Taylor, Katie James, Annie Poter, Emma Kaharaa; froa Nisqually, Peter Kalama; from Olympla, Edward Richard and Andrew Richard. Admitted May 28, 1880- From Puyallup, Ella Lane (Mrs. Henry Steve), Cella Lane, Mary Lyal, Annie Stanup, Lucy Leschi and Minnie Thompson. It is interesting to note that at this early date those in charge of shaping the policy for the future of the Indian people of the northwest felt that their future success in life dep nded upon their ability to perform manual labor- working with their hands- and to this end they were encouraged to continue the work that they learned in school. Read the annual reports, herewith, and note the amount of work done by both boys and girls, and from these reports it is found that their Instructors J must of had the confidence of the students, must have had a personal interest in each student under them, in order to have accomplished all of the work necessary to put the school is successful operation. The following from the Tribune, a paper published in Pendleton, Oregon, shows that no one more than the white people adjoining an Indian reservation notice the improvement in the children* The Indian boys who came up from the Forest Grove training school a few days ago for the purpose of building a church on the Indian reservation are getting on nicely with their work*** The building is to be 20 by 40, was planned by the boys, and they ar doing the work without any assistance and are doing it well. The manner in which they go about their work and in the handling of tools show that they have had careful training, and would convince those, no matter how strongly prejudiced they may be against the education and traing of the Indian, that the training school at Forest Grove is an institution that should be kept up. Here we have evidence which refutes the statement of an army officer, who said that The only good Indian is a dead one. To quote further from the report of Superintendent Mlnthorn for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883* We have now in the school 100 pupils that have been here but little more than one year. The Improvement they have made is remarkable; but what is more encouraging to us is to notice equally marked improvement during the same length of time in those who have heen here four years. They seem to grow in their apprecatlon of civilization and to have developed a faith in their own powers and to have had aroused In them an ambition to take a hand, in the active life of this age that seems to transform their whole being. The stolidity and unimpresslbility of the Indian chaacter seems to have been shaken off, and their very faces seem to look different. About one-third of the regular employes were filled at this school during this fiscal year by Indians and they gave good sa lsfaction. No doubt one of the first strikes for higher pay oc ured at this time at Forest Grove as it is recorded; Formerly the laundrying, for the whole sohool was done by the girls and a Chinaman. The Chinaman struck for higher wages a d an Indian boy was put in his place, and it was found that he did equally well; since which time the number of boys in the boys' laundry has been increased to five, and they now do about tw-thirds of the washing for the whole school. A printing office on a small scale has been furnished by the boys and girls, and a small paper, The Indian Citizen is edited and published by two of the Indian boys. (Henry Steve and Issao Hoptowit. Its circulation among the Indians on the coast and among others who are Interested in the subject of Indian education is quite extensive, and is steadily increasing. (Other printers were Peter xalaa, Joseph Terboacot and William BU Lear.) The Forest Grove Indian Training School was visited by many people Interested in Indian education and the methods followed by those in charge. Revi ew 1 The academic course of study followed that used by public schools, implemented by Instruction along Industrial lines. Local citizens gave of their time in visiting the school with words of encouragement to employes and students; a member of. Congress wlsited the schrol (M. C. Geoige) and gave a talk to the students and the superintendent (Wilkinson) promised to send him two of the best written statements from memory of what he had said to them, in reply, Mr, George said* I must express to you my gratification on receiving from you the result of your request made the day I visited the school. The two statements made by the Indian pupils of my remarks are very good indeed; better in some respects than the original. I very much doubt if any of our race could have done better than the two whose work you send me. Superintendent 11 I son wrote in one of his reports: in the direction of the proper education of the Indian woman lies the hope of this and kindred schools, and without success here the whole effort must fall. Certainly, without any desire to disparage the work on the reservations by many thorough, consientlous, and competent Indian agents, still the fact, as they must and do admit, remains tha it is impossible upon the reservation to cultiv4e the moral sentiment and purity of life, and so lay the foundation for the true home. Said an enthusiactlc Indian Agent before a large audience at The Dalles, Oregon, during a visit of a delegation of boys and girls from this school to that places You see these young ladles and gentlemen; it is important for us to make thea such on the reservation in dally contact with their people, I was glad to send children to Forest Grove, and shall be glad to send more. In addition to the academic, and industrial work the students attend ohurch and Sunday School every Sunday. R llgious instruction proided for by the three churches in town; .school is opened each morning with religious exercises conducted hy the teachers, and the work of the day is closed by religious exercises consisting of reading a short passage from the Bible, comments, prayer, and singing, the exercises being conducted by the pupils to the higher school grade in rotation. Considerable attention has been given to writing and reading original compositions, to declamations and recitations, and with the greatest benefit. Two public exhibitions were given by the children during the year, both of which elicited many expressions of surprise and commendation. The last was at the close of school year, and was given hy a literary society organized and conducted by the pupils of the advanced grade. White children of similar ages and auch better opportunities might well be proud of as successful attempt.. Literary socities mxg txwaii.xkB.xpR0iad Band of Hope, Sunday Sch ol, and religious aeetings, all conducted by the chlldrun, afford opportunities for them to become familiar with those duties In life in which it is hoped they will take the lead when they return to their people. Superintendent Henry John Minthom was the maternal uncle of ex- Presldent Herbert Hoover, and It has always been of interest to Know Just what - if any - interest Mr. Hoover might have haa in connection with the Forest Grove institution. In the issue of Collier's magazine dated February 17, 1951, the first installment of The Personal Memoirs of Herbert Hoover and entitled Hy Boyhood Days states* Review in 1884, I was moved to Oregon, Upon the death of their only son, a maternal uncle and aunt asked that I be surrendered to them. This uncle- Henry John Minthorn- was a country doctor at Newberg, a Quacker settlement in the Willamette Valley, At that time the railways conducted a service of emigrant trains to the 'nest. Sach car was fitted with bare bunks and a kitchen stove. The passengers furnished their own bedding and food. After some search, my guardians found a family named Hammil, who were emigrating and who agreed to look after me. Aunt mill* repaired my clothes, made up a roll of bedding, and cooked an enormous supply of fried chicken, ham, bread and meat pies. I was able to help feea the whole family over our seven-day Journey. When I arrived at Newberg., Aunt Laura Minthorn and her three daughters, my cousins, were making the pear-butter supply for the winter in a wash boiler over a fire in the yard. I had never aaten a pear before. I was asked to stir the butter and urged to eat as many pears as I liked. I liked them. But after two days of an almost exclusively pear diet I did not eat pears again for years. I was at once put to school and the chores. These Included feeding the doctor's team of ponies twice a day, hitching them up perlodcally, milking the cow and splitting the wood. All this routine plus the abundant religious occasions, somewhat interrupted the constant call to explore the Oregon forests and streams. That, however, was accomplished In time. Repression of the spirits of boys is not a Quaker method, and the mild routines have their values. Somehow I found time for baseball, Jigsaws, building dams, swimming, fishing and exploring the woods with other boys* . From the above it will be seen that Mr, Hoover, who was born at /est Branch, Iowa, on August 10, 1874, was about ten years of age when he arrived at Newberg in 1884. Superintendent Konthorn was transferred to the Chilocco Indian School in Oklahoma on November 20, 1884. In the Hoover article he tells of his aunt and cousins making pear-butter so it is evident that since the pear season is about in the month of September and October that Mr. Hoover spent very little time, if any, at the Forest Grove Indian school. Concerning the offers made to the government for the new school site we quote from the Indian Citizen Vol.1 No.l, February, 1884* Mr. 3mith from Newberg was in town on the 28th looking after the title to one hundred acres of land at Newberg, Oregon, wfelch the citizens of Newberg and the employes and members of our school are trying to buy for the school the children have subscribed from one to fifty dollars each in all over -550.00. We think we will be very happy when we get a farm of our own and new and larger buildings. The farm is a nice one. It is twenty-two miles from Portland and one-half mile from Wynoosky landing and one-half mile from the line of the narrow gauge R.R, which is all graded and the track lain within 2 miles of the farm.

Now we go back to the opening of the school on February 25, 1880 and find that the first school session was on February 26, 1880, with the following listed students in attendance* Raviaw MML DATE ADMITTED Charles Ashue Puyallup -ecruary 25, 1880 Samuel Aehue David . rewer autz August euts Petar aleaa i squally ** Jerry Meeser uyailup Edward Richard M Andrew Richard Peter standup H Henry Sicade Samuel MoCaw Harry Taylor i.le H.

The class room grades from one to five. It la gratifying to know that from the beginning the Indian boys and girls at Forest Trove were devoted to their sc ool end to the opportunities afforded thea even to the extent of extra work and hardship* and with no grabling or fault finding. Supt. il Inson reports that with ay h*ya alone save only soa* general instructions with regard to farming given by our former lndustrlsl teacher, we have put up seoond building 32 by 60 feet, two and a hal stories high, with wood* shed end wash-room attached 24 by 15 feet, have claptoarded all tha j Review buildings outside, awl ceiled the principal rooms inside, using orer 33,000 feet of rastici; have put in eight uormer windows, four in each principal building, given all two coats of paint; manufactured all needed bedsteads, dining and study teblea, school desk* and seata, besides fitting up ay office in good shape, with drawer* for blanks and papers, and desks. Have Just completed the erection of a large board roofed building 80 by 24 feet, for woodshed, drijj room, and gymnastua have also laid 88? feet of aid** walk, dug out a large number of fir stumps, and have otherwise beautified the grounds; have planted four acres of potatoes and ona of beana, oestdes asking garden. It is re rettea at this late date that more Information is not available so aa to give to the reader better picture of those early days at Forest Grove, however, with the reading of the report* of the superintendent* it is believed that you will have already formed your opinlone as to tha tasks preformed, etc. To those who have followed the trend of tha times with reapeot to the attitude of the white population in the early days to the prosraa of educating the Indian people it is interesting to not* th* statement of supt. *ilt lt;lnson on March 6, 1880* I have almost literally to carry this Indian-hating Northwest coast on ay beck, but God helping, tha victory will be all th* grander, and it will come, since Right Is right, snd right the day will win, 1 GIRL'S DEPARTMENT The girls have manufactured all their own garments and the boys' underclothing and undress uniforms, In alii,118 articles, including sheets, pillow-cases, and towels, A large class of the younger girls II instructed in mending and repairing the worn di ing clothes, oaring for the living and sleeping rooms, must be seen to be appreciated They tell their own story of what the girls can do when faithfully instructed and properly encouraged. In the direction of the proper education of the Indian women lies the hope of this and kindred schools, and without success here the whole effort must fail. Certainly, without any desire to disparage the work on the reservations by many thorough, conscientious, and competent Indian agents, still the fact, as they must and do admit, remains that it is impossible upon the reservations to cultivate the moral sentiment an purity of life, and so lay the foundation for the true home. Said an enthusiastic Indian agent before a large audience at The Dalles Oregon, during a visit of a delegation of boys and girls from this school to that place* You see these young ladies and gentlemen; it is Impossible for us to make them such on the reservation in daily contact with their people. I was glad to send children to Forest Grove, and shall be glad to send more, Here let me note a most encouraging feature which may put to rest the fear expressed by many, that being educated axayxfxaaxxhaxjcxpeaaka to habits of neatness and order, they are being educated away from their people; on the other hand the fact is, there is being developed in thea here, especially In the girls, a tender regard and solicitude for their people, and they show themselves to be aware of the cause so largely of the degradation of their race, viz, the want of virtue. SCHOOL ROOM With the exception of grammar, which has been dropped and owinton's Language Lessons substituted, the course of instruction is much the same as in our common schools. An army officer of hi h rank, distinguished for his literary attainments, and deeply Interested in the success of our common-school sy tea, after a thorough examination of the school, a few daps since, said that it was one of the most satisfactory ones that he had ever made; that he had proceeded in the same manner that he would in examining a public school. EMPLOYEES Have had no little trouble to obtain suitable employees, securing those who sre competent for the meager sum I am able to pay, with the small appropriation made the school; for instance, have secured a man who is a practical house-builder, and carpenter, a good wagon- maker, a fair disciplinarian, and one whose heart is in the work, for ,11,050 per annum; so the government gets disciplinarian, carpenter, and wagon-maker for 87.56 per month. My blacksmith, at a salary of 900 per annum, furnishes one set tools, his blacksmith and wagon shops, and his entire services for S/T5 per month. My shoemaker rents his shop and gives his entire time at 50 per month. The farmer, for 75 a month, rents 45 acres oo land, furnishes team, farming implements, and his own time. The physician has, up to this time, given his services and furnished medicine in part for the pittance i of 25 per month, and other employees are as reasonably compensated for faithful service. HEALTH OF SCHOOL This continues to be remarkably good. It has been said that to educate an Indian is to sign his death warrant. An intelligent oare as to the proper division of work, study, and play, and thorough ventilation of sleeping, living, and school rooms, proper food, with milk no tea or coffee seasonable clothing, cleanliness, and regularity of habits, ss the proof Is, signs no death warrants, but clearly establishes the fact that a proper education of the Indian means life, not death. Since the incorporation of this school but one death has occured in it, This remarkable sanitary showing has been most gratifying to us, and has done much to reconcile the Indians to separation from their children, and may be accounted for, in part, by the fact that no violent climatic changes have been necessary in bringing the children to Forest Grove from some of their homes, although the majority are from Alaska and east of the Cascade range, and are natives of cold and dry climates, SUGGESTIONS A farm is one of the most urgent requirements of this school; one reasonably stocked and managed upon strong common sense principles would, in a short time, help largely to make this school self- supporting, besides affording the ebsoutely necessary training in sgriculture to the oys, and the practical education of the girls in their duties as farmers' wives. The land, 4 acres, upon whieh the school buildings stand belongs to the pacific University; it can be purchased for 4375. Certainly it should be paid for. I have recommended this for three years. Respectfully submitted. M. C. WILKINSON First Lieutenant Third Infantry, in charge of School To Commissioner of Indian Affairs SUPT. H.J. TI TiiORN INDIAN TrtAI I ' I .CHOQL Forest Grove, Oregon August 17, 1883 Sir: In accordance with instructions contained in circular letter of July 13, I herewith submit the annual report of this school Forest Grove Indian Training school is located at Forest Grove, Oreg., 26 miles west of Portland, Oreg., on a lot containing 13 acres of land, 4 acres of which belong to the Pacific University and the remainder to private parties, all of which has recently been leased for one year. The location as regards the Immediate surroundings and proximity to the Indian agencies, from which pupils are sent to the school, Is a desirable one. The town of Forest Grove ha3 tne n ine of being a moral, temperance town. There are about 18,000 Indiana in Oregon and Washington Territory within 300 or 400 miles of the school, and yet none of them near enough to be in actual contact with Indian children attending the school. The buildings are two in number, with one shop building used at present for a wegon shop, buildings for the other .trades being rented In town. Although the buildings are poorly constructed and not well adapted to the wants of such a school, they have not been expensive, and no very serious in conveniencs has been felt in adapting them to the wants of the school. The want of a sufficient amount of land for farming purposes, fruit, and stock raising has been keenly felt, and the school will fail in one very important point so long as there is no land belonging to it. We have been able to get about 90 acres of land oy giving a snare of be crop for the use of the land, and have thus to some extent supplied this want. Trie attendance at the school during the last six months has been very encouraging. There have been many more applications for admission than we could accomodate. The first two lots of children that were brought to the school came with the understanding that they were to remain three years, and that time having expired they were allowed to return home; but 15 of them returned to the school with the intention of remaining two years longer. Those that have remeined at home are, with the exception of two, doing well. Three of the carpenters are working at their trade in New Tacoma, wash., taking contracts, furnishing ail the material, and building houses. They are giving good satisfaction and are making good wages. Two Indian agents have applied to the school for teachers for agency schools, but Government salaries were not a sufficient Inducement, as the toys who have learned trades can get from 2. to 4 per day and plenty of work. The indications at present seem to be that pupils leaving this school, after having completed the course of study and learned a trade, will seek employment among white people. ut as most of the Indians upon this coast have good land, many will engage in farming, and for this reason it is doubly important that the school should have a farm. There does not seem to be so encouraging an outlook for girls leaving the school as for boys. There dfees not seem to be any dood place for an Indian girl in the present state of Indian society. Out of the 15 girls that were allowed to return to their homes, 11 have returned to the school and one oti.er Is very desirous of returning, and two have been married to two youn men who had been among the first l j to come to this school. They have made oonfortable, leasant, and happy homes. Altogether 102 new pupils have been brought to the school during the last five months, and there are now In the school 151 pupils, and 10 others, who have been here before, have requested us to reserve places . for them, as they intended to return in the Fall. All that have been received recently came with the understanding that they were to remain five years. .ut it seems to me advisable that such pupils as had made some advancement before coming here should only be kept until they have completed the course of study and learned a trade. The school sdems to be highly appreciated among the Indians on the reservations from which children have been sent to the school, and many of the parents of the children have expressed their gratitude to God and the Government for the opportunity of educating their children. Of the 102 children recently brought to the school, 26 could speak English well, 36 moderately well, 10 could say a few words and understand and ordinary question addressed to them, and 30 could neither speaK. or understand enough to be of much benefit to them, and 6 have never been in school. Of the Indians at the reservations from which these children were brought, 96 per cent, are self-supporting, 60 per cent, wear citizen's dress, end 20 per cent, speak English. From the above it will be seen that not only are there good school facilities among the Indians on this coast, but Indian society generally has made considerable advancement In civilization. ellglous instruction is provided for by the three churches in town, where the children attend preaching and Sunday school every Sunday, School Is opened each morning with religious exercises conducted oy the teachers, and the work of the day ia closed by religlou* exercises consisting of reading a short passage from the alble, comments, prater, and singing, the exercises being c nducted by the pupils to the higher school grades in rotation. There ia also a Wednesday evening prayer meeting and a meeting Sunday evening for the employees' children and such as wish to attend from outside of the school. These meetings are oonducted by the superintendent and employes, and a general invitation extended to all to participate. Reports from the different departments of the school are made, by employes in charge, below. Each pupil engage in some kind of work one- halfl of the time and attends school one-h 1 of the time. Some of the larger boys have been allowed to work for the farmers in the vicinity during harvest, and have given good satisfaction and received the same wages as white men. Twenty-one of the smaller children were allowe lt; to spend a few days with the members of a churcn 18 miles from Forest Grove. They made friends for themselves and the school, and recently there has been a proposition made by the same church to give 200 acres of land to the school if it would be permanently located on the land. FARMER'S REPORT I have the honor to submit the following as the produce raised and growing on the land cultivated by the Indian boys of this school* Cultivated 90 acres and raised 22 tons hat, at 20 1440.00 3 tons oats- 168.00 20 -tons straw, at 3 60.00 450 bushels potatoes, at 90 cents 360,00 52 bushels peas, at 60 cents- 31.20 109 bushels radishes, at 50 cents 54.50 125 bushels onions, at 1 125,00 50 bushels beans, at 01*98 75.00 20 bushels turnips, at 40 cents 8.00 9 bushels carrots, at 50 cents- 4.50 500 heads cabbage, at 1 par dozen 41,66 900 squash, at 5 cents . ?9 1,412.86 Owing to the season being so dry, not having any rain since the 17th of May, the crop did not turn out as well as it would if there had been a rain. In fact the school crop, owing to its being cultivated so much, is the best in this part of the country, so far as I have seen. BLACKSMITH. SHOP I would respectfully report that the boys who are under my care in the blacksmith department of the school have made commendable progress, Max better than I could expect considering their former habits of life before entering the set ool. Their depoitment has bden good, having never to me knowledge used bad language or misbehaved themselves in a manner that could give offense to any one. The receipts of the shop for the year ending June 30, 1883, for work done outside of school 655.50 Work done end on hand 160.00 *815.50 There are 6 boys working in the shop. SHOE SHOP The shoemaker reports as follows for the last six months: All shoes and boots worn by the children are made in the shop; also, all. mending for the school done in the shop. Work done in the shop from February 10, 1683, to August 10, 1883, amounts to 710.10. All parts of the work are done by the Indian boys, from taking measures to finishing. At first they worked slowly, but seldom spoil material, and some of them have become quite expert workmen. There are 20 boys now working in the shop, but some of them are quite young. PHYSICIAN'S REPORT The school physician reports as follows* The health of the school for the last year has been comparatively good. There have been but few acute diseases of a dangerous nature. Three have died. I attribute the small per cent of deaths to the fact that great care has been taken, by which the sanitary condition of the place has been kept up to its highest standard. .AGON AND CARPENTER SHOP Our wagon and carpenter shop has had so many changes in management that less has been accomplished than In the other trades. We started in this fiscal year with an excellent mechanic, and wagon-making and carpenter work were progressing rapidly, when the death of Mr. Blood, our wagon-maker, left us again with no one to run our shop, and also took from us one who had taken an unusual Interest in the school, and one whose influence was of the most desirable character. 3CH OL-R00M In the school-room the teachers report that so many new pupils makes it seem almost like beginning again, but with three teachers and a thorough grading of the school it Is in better working order than ever before, A detailed account of our methods and sims in instructing the pupils would occupy too much space for such a report as this. In a work of this kind there are so many tninps to be considered thst it is no easy matter to meet all of the indications. 1. Five years is a short time in which to get an f education and learn a trade. 2. The formation of correct habits, while it is the work of a lifetime, must be made a matter of prime importance to these children during their short stay here, especially habits of industry, a thing largely lacking in Indian character, 3. Character building demands constant attention, and while Ideas of morality are in general very much perverted (and white people have done not a little to confuse them), there are very marked differences between different tribes; and then, when we take into account individual characteristics, the problem becomes a complicated one. 4. The first thing almost that occurs to one engaged in this work is, what can we do for these children that will enable them km in turn to do something for their people when they return to their homes ? Most important of all is religion, next is speaking English, next reading, then writing and composing, then speaking in public (since that is the only way that lder and uneducated Indians receive Ideas), and these, things we keep constantly before them. The following reports from the ladies in charge of the girls when they are not in school will give some Idea of the every-day routine of the school. A similar plan is pursued with the boys, with excellent results, under the immediate management of Mr, HcConvllle, the farmer. REPORT OF . MATRON The housework is divided among the girls, one being appointed aa leader of each class, and changing the work throughout every two months, so that in time each girl gets to work in every department. All the gins, except the laundry girls and two kitchen girls, are required to work in the sewing rooms three hours eecn day. Some cut and fit dresses, others make the boys' clothing, doing good work both at the machina and by hand. The little girls are learning to ply the needle nicely on carpet-rags, quilt-pieces, and doll-clothes. All clothing for boys and girls Is made in the school by the girls. The glils, almost without exception, ar pleasant in disposition, easy to control, and are fast forming industrious anu neat ha its. Some amongst them are bright Christian characters, whose InCLuence over the others is a great help to those who have them in charge, and we believe will have an untold effect upon the women of their tribe when they return to their homes. 3BAi4STRESS'S RDPORT I havo had from 6 to 10 girls. We have used about 1,500 yards of gingham in making aprons, dresses; 600 yards unbleached muslin for underwear; 500 yards dress oods; 400 yards flannel for boys, and 200 yards calico for girls' dresses. Some girls can cut and fit clothing, and all can sew nicely, and run the machine as well as any one. As a rule, they are very nind and obedient, and very anxious to learn to do everything as I do, so we find them very pheasant, and it makes my work pheasant also. LAUNDRY REPORT The work of the kitchen is done by a detail of 10 girls, all working until first call for school at 8*30 a.m. In the forenoon one of the girls assists the oook; afternoon the kitchen girls that were in school in the forenoon wash the dishes, and then all go into the sewing room except one, who assists the cook In preparing supper. After supper the whole detail works until the work is done. The dlnnlng-room work is done by 6 girls, and 8 girls do the washing, ironing, and mending for the girls. The. boys do their own washing. All are Industrious and obedient, as a rule, and are careful to do their work well. No compensation is allowed the pupils for the work done, yet they all seem to work cheerfully and do their work well, ia find it necessary to economize in order to keep within the appropriation. No money has been donated to this school since I have been here, but a balance of ,1,012 was on hand when I took charge, some of which has been expended in bringing Indian girls to the school in case where no Government funds were available for that purpose, and In that way a number of girls are enjoying the advantages of the school that could not have otherwise been brought here. It is unfortunate that there is land belonging to the school, as the expense of maintaining the school could be materially reduced and the number of pupils increased if there was a farm bel,ngIng to the school. The school is greatly Indebted to tne Indian Office for prompt responses to requests and suggestions, and we feel that although the possibilities for accomplishing what is needed here would be greatly increased by the expenditure of a little money to put the school on a permanent basis, yet great good has been done here and can yet be done with the amount now allowed, which is oven now much greater than is expended in some schools of this kind where great good is being done. We feel like acknowledging trie very evident care extended to this work by Providence during the past and believe that the same Power that has thus kept will still provide for the needs of the work In the future. Respectfully, H. J, Minthorn Superintendent THE CO.a.lSSIONEit OF INDIAN AFFAIRS J UNITED STATES INDIAN SERVICE TRAILING SCHOOL FOR INDIAN YOUTH Forest Grove, Oreg., August 13, 1884 In sccordance with instructions from your office dated July 1, 1884, I herewith submit the annual report of this school. Forest Grove Indian Training School is located at Forest Grove, Oregon, 26 miles west of Portland, Oregon. It was organized February 25, 1880, and 14 boys and 4 girls were brought from Puyallup Agency on Puget Sound and placed in a small, rough, temporary buildings situated upon a lot of 4 acres of land belonging to the Pacific University. Other buildings have been added and more children brought, until at the present time there are 10 buildings and 190 children. The present buildings have been erected by the Indian boys, the material being purchased with money saved from the regular appropriation, but it is now understood that an appropriation has been made by Cobgress during Its/ last session for the construction of more commodious and permanent buildings. And In anticipation of this event several very liberal offers have been made by people of different parts of Oregon and Washington Territory to donate land for a building site and farm for the school. These offers comprise tracts containing from 20 to 800 acres, but no action has yet been tair.en in the matter by the Government. Up to the present time the lot above mentioned (which has recently been donated to the Government for the use of the school) and 9 acres adjoining is all the land that has been constantly occupied by the school. Other land has been rented from time to time for farming and other purposes, and in this way the need of a farm has been largely supplied. The rent has been psid out of the crop and the profits have been very encouraging. The attendance at the school during the past year has been very encouraging the average being above the number allowed by the appropriation for the support of the school. The appropriation for the present fiscal year admits of s larger number than for last year, giving us an opportunity to test the present popularity of the school with the Indians. The first agency visited (Puyallup) furnished us 25 children, 15 of them being girls. Should other agencies contribute in the same proportion to the number of Indians at each agency, we would get from the agencies in Oregon and Washington Territory alone 500 children. If we should add to this number children who wish to come but cannot get the consent of their parents, it would be largely increased. But not all agencies are so fortunate as Puyallup Agency in having an agent who sends from a small agency more children than any other agency and at the samd time keeps up three flourish- in bearding schools within his own agency, aut altogether the Interest in the school has largely Increased during the past year among Indiens, end if all of the children were allowed to come that wish to come, and are encouraged to coibe by their parents, the school would be entirely inadequate to accomodate them. Various clrcumstancos hav lt; contributed to this increase of popularity, out It is mainly due to the manifest improvements in the children themselves. Last summer some children were returned to their parents at warm Springs Agency after having been at this school for three years. An eye-witness thus describes the meeting of the rarents and children* One old man who had parted with his boy of fifteen three years before, with many injunctions to work hard and study hard and be a good boy, was 1 there to meet the lad. He looked all around and asked for his boy, while at the same time the latter was looking around for his father. Neither knew She other. So well had the ooy obeyed his father's injunctions that he had risen to the position of first sergeant among the boys. Re was tall and straight and his hair cut short and neatly parted. His well fitting hew suit of clothes altogether quite transformed him from the half-grown lad of three years ago in his dirty blanket with long uncombed hair coming down over his forehead and cut off square just above his eyes. On the other hand the fattier in expectation of meeting his son, and not wanting his ooy to feel ashamed of his old Indian father, had cut off hia own long hair and bought himself a new suit of clothes, and his appearance, too, was changed almost as much as tnat of tne boy's; only the hole in his nose and the holes in his ears told of old superstitions an barbarous habits. All else spoKe of an awakening to a realization of nobler aims and better purposes. The following from the Tribune, a paper published In Pendleton, Oregon shows that no one more than the white people adjoining an Indian reservation notice the improvement in the children* The Indian boys who came up from the Forest Grove training school a few days ago for the purpose of building a church on the Indian reservation are getting on nicely with their work,**** The building is to be 20 by 40, was planned by the boys, and they are doing the work without any assistance and are doing it well. The manner in which they go about their work and in the handling of tools show that they have had careful training, and would convince those, no matter how strongly prejuidced they may be against the education and training of the Indian, that the training school at Forest Grove is an institution that should be kept up, We have now in the school 100 pupils that have been here but little more than one year. The improvement they have made is remarkable; but what Is more encouraging to us is to notice equally marked improvement during the same length of time in those who have been here four years. They seem to grow in their appre iation of civilization and to have had aroused in them an ambition to take a hand in the active life of this age that seems to transform their whole being. The stolidity end unimpressibllity of the Indian character seems to have been shaken off, and their very faces seem to look different. About one third of the positions of regular employes have been filled in this school during the past year by Indians, and they have given good satisfaction. All of th agencies from which children were sent to this school when it was first organized have now one or more employes who have attended this school, and we have had numerous and urgent applications for persons to fill other places more than we could supply, from the fact that we had not a sufficient number of pupils old enough to assume so much responsibility, several persons formerly of this school have been elected to office by the Indians since they have returned to their homes; two have been elected chiefs. I have informed myself in regard to the history of 27 pupils who have left this school, having remained for three years in the school and having now been at home one year, and find that 10 have been engaged in farming, 5 have been employed in agency schools, 5 have been engaged in lumbering on Puget Sound; 1 has been an interpreter, 1 a clerk In a store, and 2 had no regular employment, being young boys. All had retained their civilized habits, and nearly all had worked continuously. J During the past year the following new industries have been added to those previously taught in the school; Harness-making, printing, eoopring, tinsmithing, and a boys' laundry. All are not yet fully equipped, on account of lack of shop room. Formerly the laundrylng for the whole school was done by the girls and a Chinaman, The Chinaman struck for higher wages and an Indian boy was put in his place, and it was found that he did equally well; since which time the number of boys In the boys' laundry has been increased to five, and they now do about two-thirds of the washing for the whole school. A printing office on a small scale has been furnished by the boys and girls, and a small paper, The Indian Citizen, is edited and published by two of the Indian boys. Its circulation among the Indians on the coast and among others who are interested in the subject of Indian education is quite extensive, and is steadily. Increasing. Every department of the school is insufficiently equipped. The farmer has no farm, the shoe shop is too small, * Is also the carpenter shop, and there are no other shops, except as we hire or borrow. There are only two school-rooms for 200 children. The dining-room and dormitories are crowded, but notwithstanding all disadvantages the school has accomplished much more during the past year than ever before, as will be seen by comparing the various reports below with those of last year, FARMER'S REPORT I have the honor to submit the following report of the land farmed and produce raised at this school.

They seem to have a high appreciation of their 4 advantages and opportunities, and often speak of how much good they will be able to do their people when they return to their homes. Most of the older girls are professed Christians, he work of the school Is divided into several departments; the girls working In each department three months at a time, thereby receiving during their stay in th* school a thorough drill in all of the departments. There have been many improve- m nts made during the past year in the methods employed in the school. The girls are divided into companies with officers and are drilled In marching and calisthenics. (Maggie Zuglis, Matron,) .pt, Minthorn 1 84 COOK'S REPORT The work of the kitchen is done by a detail of 10 girls, all working until 8*30 a.m., when 5 of them go into the sewing rooms. Another detail does the work In the afternoon. The girls who get breakfast get up at 4 o'clock a.m. to begin their work. They seem contented and happy about their work, and do their work well, A separate detail of 9 girls do the dining-room work, some of them are quite small, and all are In charge of a large girl. (Katie Brewer, Cook, Indian.) REPORT OF LAUNDRE ,3 I have 14 girl* under my charge. They show a grest deal of Interest in the work they have to do. They are willing to do what they are told to do. They do their work Just as well as any white person in this school. Among other things they can starch and Iron white shirts very well. Whatever they undertake they learn It clear through, I would not be ashamed to have the people from Washington to see this laundry any day, for they keep It clean all through the week, I am an Indian myself, so perhaps my report is not as good as other reports. (S.J.Pitt, Laundress.) REPORTS OF SEAMSTRESSES Sewing roon No,2 I have under my charge 8 girls. I find them quick to learn, obedient, and industrious. They sew both by hand and with machines.

REPORT OF BOYS' LAUNDRY All of the boys' washing, except white shirtB, is done in this laundry; also all bed-clothing used in the school. Five boys work in this laundry; they do the Ironing too. (John W. Adams, Laundryman, Indian.) REPORT OF DISCIPLINARIAN First call in the morning for the boys is at 5 o'clock, a.m.; then the boys get up and make their beds.and put their rooms in order. The second bugle at 5*30 is for roll-call, when the boys all fall In line end answer to their names. Third call Is for breakfast at 6*30. Breakfast Is over at 7:00, a d every boy goes directly from the dining-room to his work and remains until 11*30, when they are excused and get ready for dinner. Dinner is over at 1:00 p.m., and all go to work again until Supt, Minthorn, 1884 5*00, then comes supper; after dxfcxk supper drill for 15-minutes, Then plav until 7*15; then roll-call and prayers; and the last call is at 8*30, when all are to be in bed and lights out. We have now over 100 boys; some are out among the farmers during vacation, (David E.Brewer.) REPORT OF PRINCIPAL EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT Coming into the school about the middle of September, 1883, I found the pupils more advanced but less thoroughly graded than I expected, A year's experience has shown me that to grade a school of this kind is not an easy task. The same difficulties arise here that are mentioned by teachers of other schools of similar character. The frequent addition of new pupils from reservations and agency schools at various stages of advancement, together with the fact that the school-room work cannot b wholly independent of the Industrial training, are among the obstacles. Considering the many difficulties under which they labored, the condition in which I found the school reflects the greatest credit upon former teachers. Throughout the year a continued effort has been made to perfect the grading of the school, and much has been accomplished in that direction, though not all that is desired. An attempt has also been made to establish a fixed course of study, and to make the objects to be attained in the several grades more definite than they have been heretofore. The ultimate object kept In view Is to teach Indian children to speak, to read, and to write the English language correctly and under-standingly, and to give them, so far as possible, the rudiments of an Fngllsh edueatlon. Where pupils are capable and sollctious of taking up branches In advance of the work laid out for them, they will be encouraged to do so. Two advanced pupils during the last year have been studying physiologa, and mastered it without difficulty. At the beginning of the year a lack of proper textbooks and a supply of others compelled the advance class to take up pyysical geography (Monteith'a), which was considered a doubtful alternative at that stage of their advancement. By going slowly and reviewing at intervals the yxa* work one over, taey experienced but little difficulty with it, and at the end of eight months passe a very satisfactory examination in most of the subjects embraced. This and kindred studies interest them greatly, and promote their desire for knowledge. Experience has shown that it is not wise to undertake a great deal, but rather to make thorough work of s little. As a rule, the children are found to be bright and intelligent and anxious to learn. The greatest obstacle to their advancement is the lack of the knowledge of our language. To teach them correct English Is certainly the first and most Important step in their education, and to derive the full benefit of English teaching they must be taught not only to speak and to read and to write English, but also to think English. When this is accomplished they will compare favorably with other children in acllity to make rapid advancement. This school is Just now entering upon the fifth year of its existence. Heretofore there have been but four grades in the school. The fourth grade will now become the fifth, the t ird the fourth, the second the third, and the first the second; and the first grade will be composed of new recruits, part of whom have Just arrived, and a few already here, who are not ready for second-grade work. The plan of work for the fifth grade is not yet completed; but it is the intention to give them such instruction as shall tend to fix firmly in their minds what they have already learned, and prepare them, as far as possible, to give to their people the benefit of their knowledge when they return to them. ' : Supt, Minthorn 18? 4 During the past year considerable advancement was made by the entire school. Examinations were had at the end of each quarter, which xstx weee written as far as practicable. The result of these examinations, tsken in conjunction with the class studying of the pupils, was made a basis for grading the school, and the good effects were apparent in many respects. The pupils became not only eager to maintain their standing, but desirous to excel in the careful preparations of their papers and in the ere its receive . The papers of the last examination sho a marked improvement over those of the first. Many of those of the sdvanced class were almost faultless as to neatness, spelling, and the use of capital letters. Considerable attention has been given to writing and reading original composition, to declamations and recitations, and with the greatest benefit. Two public exhibitions were given by the children during the year, both of which elicited many expressions of surprise and commendation. The last was at the close of the school year, anu was given by a literary soclrty organized and conducted by the pupils of the advanced grade. White children of similar ag s and much better opportunities might well be proud of as successful an attempt. Literary soclties, sociables, band of hope, Sunday-school, and religious meetings, all conducted by the children, afford opportunities for them to become familiar with those duties in life in which it is hoped they will take the lead when they return to their people. Inadequate school-rooms have been a hindrance in the past, but we look forward to a time in the near future when this hindrance will be removed. All things considered, the school is in a prosperous condition and bids fair to do more and better work the coming year than ever before. (W.V.Coffin.) REPORT OF AS I3TANT TEACHER I have been employed as assistant teacher in this school for seven months. The school, although not thorou hly graded, was last year divided into four divisions or grades of which I had charge of the two lower, the children being in school only half the day amd working the other half; I had one grade in the gore-noon and the other In the afternoon. I have found the children apt and eager to learn, their average being as good as that of white children. In the first or primary grade we use Appleton's First Reader and Monroe's Reading Charts. They are also given Instructions in oral arithmetic and In writing. In the second grade are used Appleton's Second Reader, Robinson's Primary Arithmetic, and the Spencerlan system of copy books. All the children speak the English language, and understand quite readily. In the first grade are enrolled 34 pupils and in the second grade 41 pupils, 8 of whom were advanced from the first grade at the end of the third quarter. (Minnie Unthenk.) PHYSICIAN'S REPORT In regard to the sanitary condition of the school for the past year I have to say that the general health of the school has been good. A large majority of the sasds treated have been such as common sore eyes, sore throat, colds, ond other alight ailments. But few serious oases of illness have occured, and but two deaths. Ten children were returned to their hones during the year on account of poor health. Eight of the ten were the victims of inherited consuptional diseases. The two were the result of consumption. Supt. H.J.Minthorn 1884 Near the beginning of the year a building 20 by 24 feet was erected Bor a boys' hospital, and a little later another, of the same size, for a girls' hospital. Previous to the erection of these buildings, the overcrowded condition of the school made it very difficult to take proper care of the sick. Since their erection it has been possible to give the best of care in almost every respect, and to this fact is largely due the smallness of the number of oases of serious sickness. The present location of the schrol buildings considered from a sanitary stand-point, la not a good ona, for two very Important reasons* th first Is, the draining is very poor, and cannot be bettered without considerable expense; the second is, that the water supply is totally Inadequate to the nee lt; s of the school. Of the four wells on the grounds all fail during the dry season, and it becomes necessary to haul water from one-half to one mile, whicfc, for so large a number, is not a small task. If the water furnished by the wells was sufficient in quantity, the drainage and the location of the wells are such that eventually a fruitful source of decease. Now that the number of children in school Is increased from 1:0 to 200, if the location o buildings is not changed immediate action should be taken to Improve the grainage and to furnish the school with an abundant supply of fresh water. (W. V,Coffin.) Yours respectfully. 1 The Commissioner of Indian Affairs. H. J, MINTHORN, Superintendent Fred Lockley, writing for the Portland, Oregon Journal, Issue of October 1, 1944, says in part* For some years Albert and Edith Tozier had charge of the building at Champoeg. Albert wrote me on all sorts of subjects. In one letter he discussed presidents he had met. He wrote me as follows: la/hen President and Lucy Hayes visited Oregon they visited the Indian school at Forest Grove, which Hayes was instrumental In having established, end of which Dr. H. J. Mlathorne was in charge prior to its removsl to Chemawa. The president and members of the faculty of the Indian school appointed a committee of which I was a member to go to Portland as escort and gusrd of honor for the presidential party. This was before the days of paved roads or automobiles, so we boarded the est Side Southern Pacific trsin, with its wood-burning engine. En route to Forest Grove a slide delayed the train. While a section gang shovelled the earth from the track. President and Mrs. Hayes left the train and held a reception for the passengers beside the track.*** Supt. W. V. Coffin, 1885 INDIAN TRAINING SCHOOL Forest Grove, Oregon August 18, 1885 SIR* In compliance with instructions, I have the honor to submit my first annual report of this school. On the 2ist of November, 1884, I resigned the position of physician. and principal teacher, and relieved Dr. H. J. Minthorn as superintendent, he having been transferred to the school at Chilocco, Indian Territory. By the appropriation for the support of the school for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1885, the capacity of the school was increased from 150 to 200 children. At the same time an additional appropriation of 20,000 was made for th erection of larger and more convenient quarters for t e school. In Ife* hope that these new quarters would be erected without delay, the school was filled up to as near the maximum number as the limited quarters would allow, and 189 children were crowded into quarters calculated for less than half that number. Bad weather at length set in, and there being no probability of new buildings before spring, preparations were begun for spending the winter in the old quarters. By economizing all available space the school succeeded in accomodating itself to the situation with tolerable comfort, and made exc llent progress until about the 15th of Dember, when a snow-storm, unprecedented in the country for severity, set in. In the midst of this storm, on the morning of December 18, the girls* building, containing their dormitoSies and living rooms, together with the dining-room and kitchen, supplies and dry-goods store-rooms, sewing and mutic rooms, besides living rooms for several employes, burned to the grounds. The fire apparently caught from a defective flue, and in the floor of the attic. It happened at a time when all t lldren and most of the employes were absent at chapel exercises in the other building. Aided by the explosion of lamps, the flames gained such headway before bSing discovered that all efforts to check them were futile; and within forty minutes from the first alarm the walls fell In. The location of the fire prevented access to the only stairway leading to the attic, and all the bedding and clothing belonging to the girls was burned, together with ever th ng belonging to employes on the second floor. The supplies and most of the dry goods were saved. It was a relief to find all present at roll-call. The boys cheerfully abandoned quarters and bedding in behalf of the. girls, and found quarters In the barn and other outbuildings until a shed was inclosed and rendered as comfortable as could be made with such material as could be obtained at the time. For three weeks we were completely snow-bound, having no communications with the outside world. But having saved all our provisi gt;ns, we had plenty to eat, and then, too, plenty to do. School-room work for the time was suspended, and a double force put Into the sewing-rooms. The girls sewed and cooked, the boys cut wood, shoveled snow from the walks and roofs of buildings, built additions end repaired old buildings , During all this trying time, not a mumur of complaint was heard from any child or employe, bat all worked harmoniously for the welfare of the school. The chi pel anu school-rooms having been converted into dining and sewing rooms, a new temporary building, for school purposes, was erected on a site of the burned building. By the 1st of February the regulary program was resumed. Supt. .V. Coffin, 1885 SCHOOL ROOMS She school-room work of lest yesr, beginning September 1, though seriously interrupted by cause of the loss of one of our buildings, and the removal of the school from 'orest Grove to Salem, has not been without some good results. The school opened with five grades. The work for the year having been carefully planned, we hoped to accomplish more then we had ever done be ore; but when the building was burned, the school-room work was suspended for more than a month, and at the time of the re oval of a portion of the school, two grades (the third and fourth) were necessarily out of the school-room for more than two months. Though working under discouraging circumstances during the greater part of the year, the children were cheerful and obedient, showing a perfect willingness to overcome difficulties by i ;ork and close application. The first graduating class of twenty-four pupils (ten girls and fourteen boys) was sent out this year, most of them passing very creditable examinations. They were given nothing more than a rudiaental education in the following branches viz, United States history, geography, language, arithmetic, reading, writing, and spelling. Their rhetorical work was conducted aalnly by themselves, in the form of a literary society, Their graduating exercises were very similar to those of other schools, the boys and two of the girls preparln tlons, and the remainder of the girls essays, these being entirely their own productions. At the close of the year examinations were made in each grade, and the promotions from the lower grades were as follows: Proa the first grade, 16; fro he second grade 40; from the third grade 25; from the fourth grade 28, B ring a part of the year vocal music has b en taught, and instrumental throughout the wh le year. Their progress in music has been very satisfactory, many of them showing marked talent in this art. Last May a concert was given by the graduating class and the little ones of th lowest grade, In orest Grove, Portland, and Salem, kesldes several choruses their program contained both vocal and Instrumental duets and s lot. At each place they were favored with a crowded house and an appreciative audience wh expressed genuine surprise at their proficiency in music. Call sthenic songs by the littl- ones were well received end hetrtily applauded. The band boys also received special notice, Their music was considered ood, taking into consideration that they had had only a few months' practice. SANITARY Everything considered, the health of the school during the year has been good. Of xha a party of nineteen children brought to the school In arch from Klamath Agency, In Southern Oregon, three have died and two others returned to their homes on account of falling health. The change of climate has seemed to be disastrous to them, xhexchaxgaxofx Of four other deaths in the year three were from consu.pt'on. The orett Grove scrjool among its puplle Includes representatives from twenty-nine different tribes scattered throuai out Oregon, Washington Territory, Idaho, and Alaska. These tribes number about 22,000 Indians, ong whom there are 3,400 children of school age, Alaska not induce . This Is the only school of its character accessible to them, and the fact that they are becoming not only willing but anx ous to have their children educated is attested by the fact that many applications were CBg 4rai srtnE3tb hijeir from Indian parents desirous of sending their Supt. 'rf. V. Coffin, 1885 children to this school. Many of these were refused gt;ze we could not accomodate them. In view of this fact, I would emphatically recommend that with the completion of the new quarter the capacity of the school be increased to three hndree pupils, and that an appropriation for that number be asked at the coming session of Congress. espectfully youro, . V. CO FIN Superintendent vnmxce rtghbb xy Supt. W.V, Coffin 1885 The bill making appropriation for new buildings contained the provision that land suitable for a farm for the school, should be donated at some point within the State of Oregon, There were three donations made in accordance with this provision, as follows: Newberg, a tract of 100 acres of land, heavily timbered; Forest Grove, a tract of 25 acres near the town, for a building sit*, and 75 acres of pasture-land, four miles away; Salem, a tract of 171 acres, sparsely timbered, and 10 acres under cultivation. After long delay the Salem site was chosen chiefly on account of the larger number of acres and its nearness to the 3tate capitol. Under date of February 20, a dispatch wss received instructing to take possession of the Salem donation, and begin work. Twelve carpenter boys In charge of the school carpenter, D, E. Brewer, were immediately sent to Salem. Notwithstanding heavy rains, within three weei*s they had repaired and added to two old bandings found on the premises, converting them into comfortable summer quarters for 50 children. On the 17th of March, 46 boys and gxxxx 15 girls, with nessary supplies, were transferred to Salem, Thia division of the school was placed in charge of Ed, McConville, disciplinarian, elded by E. H. Woodward, farmer, Mrs. McConvllle, assistant teacher, doing duty as matron, and Mrs,Woodward, seamstress, serving as cook. The work of clearing and improving now began in earnest and the manner in which stumps, brush, and trees gave way before their axes, spades, and plows, and the rapidity with which a little village of houses and sheds, made mainly of sheIres and poles, huwn from timber on the ground, sprang up, excited the wonder and admiration of every one who beheld it, end many warm friends for the Indian bays and girls, where they had none before. With the school virtually divided Into two, without an Increase In the force of employes. It was found difficult to do satisfactory work, and at length deeaed best to concentrate the main body of the school at one point or the other. There being little to do at orest Grove, end k a great deal to be done at Salem, it was decided to move the main body of the school to the latter place. Accordingly, on the 15th of May ail the Forest Grove division, excepting the second grade, numbering 39 girls and 23 boys, together with the shops, sewing-rooms, etc., was transferred to 3alem. After some delay in perfecting the temporary quarters, a reorganization was e fected, and the school opened with ell departments in operation June 1. Plans for new buildings being a proved, after another delay, arising by reason of a technical error In the title of the new farm, the con tract was awarded July 23, and approved by the honorable Secretary of the Interior August 13, and at this writing the work is begun, with very prospect that, unless wet weather should begin soon, the school will be in comfortable and convenient quarters within a few months. The main buildings will be three in number a central building to be used exclusively for chapel and school-room purposes; a girls' quarters, containing kitchen enu dining-room and four employes rooms; and a boys* quarters, containing also four living rooms for employes. These three buildings will be built by contract. The shops, office, warehouse, snd hospitals will be built by the Indian boys under the direction of a skillful mechanic. The warehouse is already under way. The location is five miles north of the city of Salem, the main line of the Oregon and California Railroad constituting its eastern boundry. The land is an elevated tract, from which the railroad runs down-grade in both directions. The railroad ajutxfxakgfetxakRtfarm company have put In a side track, erected a passenger and freight platform, and made a station of the school. The name given to the ste ion is Chemawa, meaning Indian town. J Supt. W.V. Coffin, 1885 The industrial departments, particularly the shoe and blacksmith shops, are not able to make as good a showing as we hope and believe they will In the future, for the reason that.much.of the year they have been closed and the instructors and a prentices detailed to more urgent woak incident to the fire in the winter and the removal and establishment in new quarters of the main body of the school. While the time has been lost from their respective trades. It has in no sense been wasted, for the schooling received in slashing, clearing, and grubbing will not come amiss, and has been well calculated to the formation of industrious habits.

On the 1st day of October, 1885 I relieved Dp, W. V. Coffin and assumed the duties of superintend nt of the then Forest Grove Indian Training School, . I found the school divided into two branches, one at Forest Grove and the other at Chemawa, 5 miles north of Salem. This branch of the school had been removed to this locality by my predessor, to take charge of and clear the site for the new buildings then under contract and in course of construction. The scholars were crowded together in crude shanties and shake houses erected by the Indian boys for mere temporary quarters, but, owing to the de-lay in completing and furnishing the new buildings, we were compelled to winter in these buildings. It was with difficulty we managed to keep the schoox together and maintain proper order and discipline during the cold, rainy, and inclement weather. The branch of the school remaining at Forest Grove was in reasonably comfortable quarters, and passed through the winter nicely. On the 3rd day of April we all moved Into our new and commodious buildings, since which time our condition has been most pleasant and our school work much better. In many respects I think this year's work the most important of any in the history of the school. There have been erected and completed three excellent buildings, viz: First, one dormitory for the girls including sleeping apartments, kitchen and diningroom, sitting and music room for the girls, and parlor and six rooms for the employes; econd, one boy's dormitory, including sleeping apartments, sitting room, and eight rooms for employes; Third, the main or central bulling, which embrace the chapel and school-rooms. There have also been erected a brick boiler houae and steam apparatus, by whieh all the buildings are heated; also water supply furnishing the entire school with hot end cold water. The Indian boys , under the Instruction of the carpenter, have built and completed a good warehouse, mess-house, and three other small buildings, and now have in course of construction a xkmp build ng for offices, medical and sleeping apartments. The dormorties, chapel, and school building are all well furnished with new and substantial furniture, costing 2,926.95. ihe three buildings were built under contract by Messrs. Southwick Erh at a cost of , 16,450. The boiler-house and heating apparatus were constructed by William Gardner Co., under contract, at a cost of 4,616, The water-supply tank, frame, and fixtures were furnished by Dugan Brothers, at a cost of 1,087, making a total cost of 25,079.95. SCHOOL WORK PROPER On taking chargw I found the classes somewhat divided and disorganized, on account of the removal of a portion of some of the classes to tnis place and the leaving a portion at Forest Grove, and the scholars here had just returned from the hop fields. The school was reorganized as quickly as possible Into five grades. During the year the children have generally worked and studied hard, and made as rapid advancement as could reasonably be expected. The fifth or graduating grade especially did themselves and the school credit. J Supt, John Lee 1886 19 of whom passed most excellent examinations. Several of the class of the final examination secured 100 per cent, In almost every branch of their studies. This, the second graduating class of 19 pupils, those who passed the final examinations (7 girls and 18 boys), was sent out this year. The closing exercises were held in our new and commodious chapel on the 30th of June. These exercises were witnessed by a very large audience from Salem and vicinity. The people went away highly pi eased. The graduating exercises, consisting of orations, essays, and declamations, were prepared by the pupils. This class was taught and graduated In the following brances viz: United States history, geography, language, arithmetic, reading, writing and spelling. At the close of each quarter examinations were held in all the grades. At the close of the year's work the examinations were held for promotion, and the promotions from the lower grades were as follows* From the first grade 27; from the second grade 32; from the third grade 31; from the fourth grade 26, The fourth grade will take the place of the fifth the coding year, and with our increased facilities will doubtless advance more rapidly than did the class of 1886, The question of educating the Indian children Is no longer an open one. They are as susceptible of improvement as others, and in time some of our best scholars are likely to be found among the Indians, writing and geography are especially favorite studies, and are learned easily and rapidly. THE FARM The tract of land called a farm Is in embryo as yet. It was a heavy timbered piece of land, with most of the valuable timber removed before It was purchased for the school. I found about 5 acres of cleared land that was susceptible Sf cultivation. That was planted In potatoes, but the season has been very unfavorable to the growth of the crop. About 5 acres more of land have been cleared and planted in gpfcaen vegetables. Forty acres more have been partially cleared during the summer and the stumps mostly removed. Eighty acres have been slashed and partially cleared. It requires a great deal of labor to prepare this land for cultivation. It will take at least three years to make a respectable farm here. There have been about 4,000 rails made and 320 rods of fence built. No hay has been raised on the land and there has been but little pasture for the stock, but the boys and teams worked for the neighboring farmers and have put on about 40 tons of straw hay and 3 tons of timothy. The boys on the farm are industrious and willing to workm but have llttl* ohanoe to accomplish much until the land is cleared or other land purchased. The original tract of land embraced 171 acres. 3ince I came I have contracted and bought for the Government 85 acres more, and will pay for it with the labor of scholars, who have earned money enough to pay the purchase price, 1,500, by picking hops, in less than three weeks' time, but I think it best to pay the children one-half of the money they have earned, and apply the other half as a payment on the land, and complete the payment for the land next year. THE SHOE-SHOP There has been an average of 8 boys at one time at work in the shoe-shop for seven months, commencing with the month of October, 1885, and ending with the month of April, 1886. Only 3 of these boys had gained any Supt, John Lee. 1886 knowledge of the trade previous to October, 1885, During the seven months there were 628 pairs of shoes made and 322 pairs of shoes repaired. The shoes that have been made compare very favorable with 2 and 3 shoes made in the custom shops of the country. The repairing was done in a very neat and workmanlike manner. During the last three months of the fiscal year there have been but a very few pairs of shes made, on account of the want of sole leather; there being an average of only 2 boys at work in the shop during that time,, doing mostly repairing. The school harness has been considerably repaired during the past year, but no new harness has been made, THE BLACKSMITH-SHOP The blacksmith-shop, with 5 apprentices, has made 1 buok-woard 090.00 2 hand-carts 60.00 2 stump-pullers 6.00 Irons for boiler-house and oven 26.75 3 wood racks - 35.00 2 hay-racks 30,00 2 wheelbarrows - 15.00 1 desk- - 3.00 8 new wheels ' -.- 48,00 Repair work- 2/0.00 TOTAL 603.75 The blacksmith-shop is not able to make as good a showing as we had hoped it would, for the reason that it has been closed a part of the year, the instructor and his apprentices having much work to do outside of the shop. CARPENTERING There has been an average of 10 Indian boys working in this department. They have built five houses and performed other labor and repairs to the value of 2,000. TIN-SHOP The work in this department has been mostly condined to repairing, plumbing, and taking charge of heating apparatus, boiler-house, and water supply. There has been good and valuable labor performed in this department, but little new ware manufactured, for want of stock and tools. TAILORING The tailor shop, with an average working force of 5 girla and 1 boy, has made, since October 1, 1885 Coats 1 1 94 Pairs of pants of all classes 257 lannel drawers 290 Flannel shirts 291 Hickory shirts * 277 1 J Supt, John Lee 1886 Overalls, denims 4-92 Jumpers, denims . 62 Calico shirts 6 OTAL a 41369 THE SEWING-ROOM The sewing-room, with an average force of 4 girls, has made, since the 1st of October, 1885. 2,096 pieces of clothing and bedding. The girls in this department have improved very much daring the year. Some of them are capable of doing almost all kinds of cutting and fitting. THE LAUNDRY This branch of the service has been much improved during the past year. The Indian, girls do nearly all the washing and ironing for the whole school. The. work is hard, but the girls do it neatly, cheerfully and well. THE KIT H N AND DINING-HALL There has been as. much improvement in this department as in any connected with the school. The girls in this department cook the provisions for the whole school, and their kitchen and dining-hell are neat and well kept. SANITARY The health of the scholars was generally as good as could be expected during the year, considering that they had to winter in shanties aax and crude buildings erected and fitted only for summer use. There were 510 cases treated by the physician, but of this number only 6 died in the school and 2 after returning home. The health of the. scholars is a now as good as it could possibly be, as there is not a single case of sickness, except a few chronic ones. This school has averaged a fraction over 200 pupils the past year, representing 29 different tribes, scattered along the western coast from California to Alaska. The Alaskan Indians are generally bright and quick to learn, and very tractable, and, in fact, the children from all the tribes seem kindly disposed to each other, and are generally obedient and well-disposed. Respectfully yours, JOHN LEE THE C MMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS Superintendent 1886 HOW TO PAY INDIAN PUPILS Instructions from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs about the pay of apprentices have been received, and in order that our trade boys may read and understand for themselves, we print most of the letter, after making some of the words and sentences easier. (The Indian Helper - Carlisle, Pa. Vol.MO.39 May 7, 1886) The Instructions All Indian pupils should understand that when they are fed, clothed and taught by the Government, they can have no Just claim to any pay for their work, but the pupils 0YE the Government, and should pay the Government for their education, by working. But the Government wants the Indians to learn how to use and save money- save enough to have a little to help them to start in business when they return home, or leave the school, so It is thought to be a good thing to pay small wages for FAITHFUL capable work, and to pay according to the time and good work of the trade boy. At all Indian schools the pay is to be the same. Of course careless work should not receive as much pay as good work, and the masters of the shops should INSIST upon the boys doing GOOD work. THE WAY THEY ARE TO BE PAID For the first four months- NOTHING or the first year,- SIGHT CENTS A DAY. or the secon year,- TWELVE CENTS A :AY. For the third year,- and after,- TWEMTY-FOUR GENTS A DAY. For the FARM HANDS* During the first three months, NOTHING. After that, twelve cents a day of eight hours, except during harvest when twenty-five cents a day of ten hours may be paid. or other kinds of work eight or twelve cents a day. There must be no for lost time. Indians need to learn the value of minutes. It is the duty of every training school which pays pupils for work to see how the pupils spend their money. Before money is given them they should tell whSt they want to buy, and afterward show what they D.'D buy. This will make a great deal of work for the officers of the school, but will protect the interest of the pupils. IN NO CASE MUST PUPILS BE ALLOWED TO GO INTO DEBT, OR TO RUN UP ACCOUNTS AT STORES. The pupils should be trained to save their money for future needs. Signed by J. D. C. ATKINS Commissioner of Indian Affairs j 1886 CARLISLE ( rom The Indian Heper Carlisle Indisn School Paper, dated Friday, September 3, 1886, Vol.11 No.4) Captain R. H. Pratt began hia education of the Indian In Indian Territory even while as an army officer he ba lt; to fight the bad ones, to teach all the Indians who would learn from him, and continued to do so until he was sent by the government in 1875 with a number of prisoners to Florida. Here he continued to teach, and these Indian prisoners behaved eo that the government finally pardoned them and permitted them to return to their homes. Twenty-two of these prisoners had become so anxious to learn, and so much attached to Captain Pratt they would not leave him, and seventeen went with him to the school at Hampton and the other five to Utica end Tarryton, New York. Here they were Joined by a number of other Indians, who were anxious to gain all the knowledge they could, and these pupils so filled Captain Pratt with hope and courage that he determined to try and induce the government at Washington to give him the Barracks at Carlisle, for an Indian Industrlsl School. Although the Barracks were going to decay, and the grounds around them were not used, it was not an easy task to get this property from the government; but with God's help, and by his own patient perseverance, and untiring labor he finally succeeded; and the school at Carlisle was opened on the first day of November, 1879. * * * ** 1j 14 1800 - 2 - 25 Date Chemawa established 1879 -11 - 1 Date Carlisle established mm --in i mm mhm* wmmi 3 * Carlisle was opened for students three (3) months and twenty-four (24) days before Chemawa opened it's doors. SALEM INDIAN SCHOOL, OREGON At the Salem Indian School, Ore on, they have chapel exercises for the whole school, at seven o'clock every moral g. They get up at five o'clock xaxyxmaxaingx and do all their room work before breakfast which comes at six-o'clock. They go to bed at 8*40. The Indian Helper Vol.11 No. 14 November 12, 1886 0 A SCHOOL OF INDIAN PUPILS AWAY OUT IN OREGON (From the INDIAN HELPER Carlisle, Pa. Vol. 11 No.23, Jan.l4, 1887) What used to be the Forest Grove School, Is now called the Chemawa Indian School, and is near Salem, Oregon, Miss Fletcher, on her way back from Alaska, stopped at the Chemawa Indian School, the week before Christmas, 1887 What she says about those Indian boys and girls is very interesting and a letter which Captain Pratt received from her this week, will be printed in the January MORNING STAR. Among other things, Miss Fletcher says that two years ago when the Chemawa school was first moved to where it is now, the land which the people of Salem gave the school was an unbroken forest. A forest In Western Oregon means a dense mass of trees; the trunks several feet through and the roots Interlacing, Between the great trees grow smaller ones, and the spaces intervening are filled with brush. The Indian boys went to work clearing, first they had to cut a place to stand and work in. So you may know it took many days and months of hard work to clear a place for the buildings. i saw the boys digging and hacking at the roots and stumps, says Miss Fletcher, and they have already cleared over 30 acres ready for the plow. oys wno have cleared the field where Chemawa School stands need not fail in hewing out a farm for themselves in the future, and in making a wilderness become a civilized home, The pupils there have S society meeting, as we have, except the boys and girls are together. One of the boys was president, a girl was secretary, and motins were put, seconded and carried In due parlimentary form. A member gave a recitation. The words grew more and more familiar, as he went on, says Miss Fletcher, and at the close she asked the boy: Who wrote that speech ? He answered, A Carlisle oy, When Miss Fletcher was asked to talk she told tham about Carlisle and how the students were striving to become English speaking Americans. The society passed a vote extending a greeting from the Literary Society of the third grade of the Chemawa School to the Society at Carlisle school, and Miss Eletcher was requested to convey the same. The Chemewa brass-band has seventeen Instruments, and althhough some of the boys had only been under drill two or three months they played well. Miss Fletcher told them about the Carlisle band and was asked* Do the Carlisle boys play better tm She does not give her reply, but we hope she will come back home soon. 177.32 84.92 10.58 60.00 12.25 101,74 446.81 - 2.413 444.3,7 LAND PURCHASED y Chemawa Indian School Acreage From Original Cost Date ylie A.
