EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Students in dining hall, United States Indian School, Carlisle, Pa. 1901," was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of students at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. The photograph depicts a crowded dining hall filled with boys and girls of various ages, all engrossed in their meals or in conversation with one another. The atmosphere is bustling and lively, with students seated at long tables, some still and others in motion. The students, dressed in simple clothing, represent a diverse group of children from different backgrounds, reflecting the multicultural nature of the school. Established in 1879, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School was one of the earliest off-reservation boarding schools for Native American children in the United States. The school aimed to assimilate Native American students into mainstream American society by teaching them English, farming, and industrial skills. This photograph, taken in 1901, provides an intriguing snapshot of the students' daily routine and the educational environment at the school during this period. The image is now part of the historic collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich heritage and history of American education.
