A VISIT TO THE CARLISLE TRAINING SCHOOL. Seme Account el 1t Educational and Indus trial Departments. Special Correspondence of Intellieekcxh. Carlisle, Pa., Sept. 28, 1831. Most of your readers are aware that there is an Indiau training school at Car lisle, Cumberland county, Pa., but com paratively few of them, I presume, Lave a correct idea of it, or of the important part it is playing in the education and civiliza tion of the children of the forest the girls and boys of the many tribes of Red Men who ream and huut and fellow the war path upon the extensive plains and forests west et the .Mississippi, and extending from Mexico in the Seuth te the British possessions in the North. The training school occupies the exten sive grounds and buildings formerly used for military purposes and known as " Car lisle Barracks." The enclosed grounds contain perhaps 30 acres of nearly level land, en which are erected mere than a dozen large brick buildings, formerly used as officers and soldiers quarters, mess rooms, store rooms, stables, etc. Several of these buildings arc ever 200 feet in length and nearly all of them two or three stories in height. TejOapt. R. II. Pratt, of the 10th U. S. cavalry, belongs the credit of originating, organizing and successfully establishing, far away from the Indian freutier,this training school for Indian children, the principal feature ei which is te com bine education with industrial pursuits. The difficulties attending such an enter prise might well have appalled a man of the mestsauguine temperament. Te gath er together hundreds of Indian children, speaking mere than a dozeu different dia lects, and net one of them understanding a word of English, and te have them edu cated by teachers net one of whom under stood auy of the several languages spoken by the children, might almost be regarded as an impossibility. Yet this.was the task Capt. Pratt undertook te accomplish, and he has accomplished it, if net beyond his own expectation at least te the amaze ment of ethers who have witnessed the sudden transition from iguorance and bar barism te intelligence and civilization, of the hundreds of savages placed under his charge. Captain Pratt as an army officer had spent considerable time in the Indian coun try, and seems te have beconie satisfied that powder and ball and robbery aud hate were net the best agents for cither the subjection or civilization of the aborigines. It was his fortune te be detailed a fewyears age te take te St. Augustine, Flerida, a party of Indian prisoners. Instead of treat ing them with regulation severity and con tempt, he was kind te them, aud seen after they had reached their destination in Flerida, they were given the largest liber ty compatible with their safety. They wcre instructed in the rudiments of English education and wcre put te work in various capacities, and evinced se much aptness and willing ness, and adapted themselves se readily te the manners and customs of civilized life, that Capt. Pratt was convinced that the true method of solving the Indian problem was te educate the rising generation of Indians and instinct them in the various trades and occupations common ameug civilized men. Te de this effectively he believed it te be necessary te remove the young Indians far from the frontier, se that they might be beyond the reach or inilucncc of the old or uncivilized members of their tribes, and thus be mere easily weaned from the wild ways of their fathers. Impressed with these views Capt. Pratt appealed te the government te establish training schools, and finally in the fall of 1879, Carlisle barracks were placed at bis disposal, and within a month he had GO Indian boys and 25 girls sent te Car lisle from the Rosebud and Pine Ridge agencies, and then striking out into the Indian territory, he brought in from the Cheyenne, Pawnee, Kiewa aud ether tribes 38 boys and 14 girls. Te these were added 11 of bis former Flerida prisoners, who had become much advanced in civili zation during their stay in Flerida, and subsequently at the Hampton, (Va.,) institute, (a school organized for the edu cation of the blacks.) Opening Hie school. The Carlisle school was opened en the 1st of November 1879, with 147 pupils, during the following season seme 80 mere were added, from various tribes, and dur ing the present year thcrehavc been many mero accessions, until the school new numbers 187 boys and 80 girls 2G7 in all. The Scheel Uulldlng. The school building, formerly used as soldiers quartern, is a two story brick structure situated near the south ern end of the grounds. It is about 250 feet in length, 25 feet iu width and has bread balconies running along the entire north front of both the first aud second stories. The building is sub-divided into ten rooms, five en each fleer. They are well lighted and ventilated, furnishedwith excellent seats and desks of hard weed and iron frames. The walls arc supplied with a large surface of blackboard and a number of maps, while en the desks of some of the'teachcrs arc seen small glebes and ether apparatus. Xbe Teachers. Miss C. S. Semplc, a lady of rare ac quirements, and admirably qualified for the work, is superintendent of the school, and she is ably assisted by the following corps of teachers : Miss Phillips, Miss Burgess, Miss Patterson, Miss Cutter, Miss Mor Mer Mor eon, Miss Eley, Miss Fisher, Miss Beeth, Miss Gray and Mr. "W. P. Campbell. Methods of Instruction. The school is conducted en the single room plan, and the several sections arc graded according te the acquirements of the pupils without regard te sex. As the pupils, en entering the school, rarely understand a word of English the first point te be attained is te impart te them a knowledge of that language. Fer beginners no text books are used. Object teaching is the method adopted End this is supplemented by Keep's First Lessens for the Deaf and Dumb. Pictures and draw ings are used te a great extent. Teachers are indefatigable in their efforts te impress upon the children a correct pronunciation of the name of the object shown them and a distinct articulation of the let ters composing the word. Slates, pencils, pens and crayons are put into the hands of the youngest children, aud thus instruc tion in reading, writing and language gees en all at once. Thus, if "hat" be the object shown by the teacher, tbe pupils are net only required te repeat the word until they articulate it correctly, but the icenl is written in script upon the black board and they are required te copy it as nearly as they can, and it is astonishing te see hew well seme of them can write after being se short a time under instruc tion. Their copy books compare very favorably with these of pupils in our pub. lie schools, and as they are taught reading and writing by the "word" method their spelling is a marvel of correctness. Their grammar, however, is mostly faulty, and in using our irregular verbs, conjunctions and personal pronouns, they make about as many mistakes as de French and Ger man scholars who attempt te master our patch-work language. As the pupils ad vance they are given Janet Byrne's Pic ture Teachinn. Webb's Medel First Read er, Appleton's Second Reader, Keep s Stories with questions, swinten s Lan cuatre Primer, Whitney's Elementary Lessens in English; the Child's Boek of Nature, and perhaps some ether similar books. Arithmetic also is taught objectively te bcginneis, while mere advanced pupils are given lessens from Franklin's primary and elementary arithmetic. The teacher (or the pupil by dictation) writes the lessen en the blackboard, where the answer is given at length, net merely in figures, but in words also the pupil being required te repeat aloud both question aud answer. He thus learns spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, the construction of sentences and a correct pronunciation and articula tion in one aud the same lessen. The method is admirable, and the result mere than satisfactory. Geography is taught orally aud by the use of drawings, maps and glebes. The training school is taken as the statting point, aud from it as a centre the pupil's knowledge of the earth's surface is grad ually extended iu all directions. Scheel Discipline. The discipline of the school is excellent. I have never seen, anywhere, se large a number of school children se well behaved both during school and en the playground. At the first ringing of the chapel bell the boys form line in front of their quarters anil the gills in front of theirs, and at the second ringing of the bell march te the chapel, the smaller children being in front. After a brief service including prayer, the reading of a passage of scripture and the singing of a hymn, they march in the same order te their respective school rooms where they pursue their studies until lljJIO, when they are dismissed. At 12, neon, the dinner call is sounded, when they again form in front of their respective quarters and march in the quietest aud most order ly manner te the dining-rooms, of which Mrs. E. P. Piatt is superintendent, where each takes the seat assigned him, or her, without the slightett disorder or confusion. Dinner ever they march back te their quarters in the same manner and arc dis missed. Then they amuse themselves playing various games, the girls rolling hoop, swinging, playing tag, &a., &3., while the smaller boys play marbles, feet ball, sheet with the bow and arrow, run, jump, wrestle, &c, &c, and the larger ones amuse themselves in the gymnasium. At 1 :30 the aftorneou session opens, when the morning pregramme is repeated. The Heys Quarters. The boys are divided into three com panies, A, B and C. Ce. A, composed of the larger boys, from 16 te 22 years of age, have quarters en the first fleer of a brick building running along the eastern side of the grounds. This building is ever 200 feet in length aud 25 feet iu width, with a wide front balcony running the entire leugth of the second story. The building is, in fact, a row of twelve houses two stories and a basement in height. Ce. A occupies nine or ten of the first-story rooms aud Ce. C, composed of boys from C te 10 years old, occupies an equal num ber of the up-stair.s rooms. The base ment rooms are net occupied, it being Capt. Pratt's intention, at an early date, te convert them into bath-rooms. Com pany B has quarters iu another long build ing of somewhat similar construction, running at right angles with the one above described, and somewhat nearer the north end of the grounds. The girls' quarters are in a long three-story brick building, near the centre of the grounds, about a hundred yards south of the ene List de scribed. It was formerly a row of six two story-houses, with back buildings at tached, used, I believe, by army officers who had familes. Capt. Pratt has recently added a third-story, se that the girls may net be overcrowded. The quarters for both boys aud girls are furnished with everything necessary te se cure their comfort, including single iron bedsteads with husk mattresses, an abundance cf clean bedding nnd night clothes, chairs, tables, combs, brushes, blacking, wash stands aud basins, aud all the little ct ecteras pertaining te a substan tial bearding house. AH the buildings en the grounds are heated by a steam appa ratus, located iu the basement of Ce. B's quarter?. Ce. A is commanded by Sergt. Ralph, Ce. B by Sergt. Jee Gunu aud Ce. C by Sergt. Edgar, all Indians. Quartermaster Sergt. Etahdlcuh has a general command of the whole, and takes charge of them when they assemble for roll-call, guard mount, drill, dress parade, &c., etc. On these occasions the boys are very prompt te " fall in," aud it is net an exaggeration te say that there is net in Pennsylvania a battalion of militia which en similar occa sions form mete promptly, behave mere decorously, or obey their commanding officer mere implicitly. Besides fhe ser geants above named, each company has three ether sergeants and four corporals. Te these non-commissioned officers is as signed the duty of keeping their several companies and quarters in tidy and order ly condition. The small boys have also the advantage of a kind aud competent matron Mrs. Hatlie Shiverick, an accom plished young widow, who leeks after the welfare of her charge with fidelity and motherly solicitude. Miss Mary It. Hyde is matron of the girls' department, and a mero matronly matron would be hard te find. She is of pertly and commanding presence, self reliant, highly educated aud devoted te the work in which she is engaged. The girls leek up te her as their counseller ana friend, and bestow upon her every evidence of sincere affection. I had net an opportunity of inspacting the girls' quar ters, but they are said te bp models of neatness ; and from the neat and tidy ap ap pearanceef the girls in chapel, in school, and upon tbe play-ground, -Ihave no doubt that they are. Under the supervision of the matron the girls arc obliged te keep their own rooms in order, and are said te be apt learners, aud te adept themselves readily te the manners and customs of the whites. The Industrial Departments. The industrial departmeuts of the school consist of a carpenter shop, wagon making shop, harness-making shop, shoe-making shop, tailoring shop, tin-shop, bakery, printing office and farming for the boys ; and dress-making and ether needle work, knitting, crocheting, cooking, baking, launderying and general house-keeping for the girls. The tin-shop is under charge of A. Weeds Walker. It was started iu April, 1SS0, and since that time has turned out 1,706 pails, 1,437 coffee boilers, 11,043 tin cups, 1,269 pans aud 1,203 dust-pans, fun nels, coal-heds, slop-pails and ether articles. Most of these manufactures have been sent te the Indian agencies in the West, where they are purchased by the government, the Carlisle shop being cred ited with their full value. There are in the shop at the present time eight Indian apprentices, belonging te five different tribes, some of whom are excellent work men. The shoe shop was started in January, 18S0, It is under" the foremanship of Harry Cook, who has thirteen Indians, representing nine tribes, under instructipn in that useful branch of industry. There has net been a pair of beets or shoes sent away for repair since tbe shop was opened and about ene hundred and fifty pajrs of new shoes nave been made, most et tue boys being able te de very creditable work. Ou an average about forty-five pairs of shoes are repaired every week. Lorenze Chapman has charge of the barness shop, which was established April, 1880. He has twclve Indian apprentices, representing the Sioux, Kiewa, Cheyenne, Penca aud Creek tribes. One hundred and eighty-seven full sets of harness have been made aud sent te the Indian agencies and another order is new being filled. Seme of the harness in this shop will compare favorably with that made iu Lancaster by Zecher, Haberbush, Miley or Kreckcl. The wagon making shop is superin tended by O. T. Harris, and was opened one year age. Eight hands representing the Sioux, Arapahoe, Pawnee and Kiewa tribes are employed. They have made twenty-one wagons and carriages, most of which have been sent te the ludiau ter ritory. These vehicles are strongly aud neatly made and nicely painted and var nished. Nerbcck, Doersom, Edgcrley, Al tick and the rest of our Lacaster coach makers must leek te their laurels for the red-skins are after them. The carpenter shop is in the care of Samuel Wetzel, who employs about four teen Indian workmen, representing the Sioux, Kiewa, Comanche, Cheyenne and Arapahee tribes. Werk was commenced iu April, 1830. The men had no experi ence at all when they began work, but since that time have made great progress. After making all necessary repairs about the fences, outhouses, &j., they were given better work te de. They laid new yellow pi no lloers in the school reams aud assisted in the erection of the fine new chape!, put up last seaseubyTJapt. Pratt's orders. Later, they repaired tha gymna sium, ceiled, floored and wainscoted the reading room, and at the present time have almost completed the erection of a new hospital which stands in the north eastern part of the grounds. This build ing is a frame weather-bearded structure, about 70 feet in length, 25 feet wide and two stories in height. It is entirely .sur rounded by wide balconies at both the first aud second stories, and reefed with shin gles. All the work upon it, from turret te foundation stone, including paneled doers, shutters, sash, &c, was dene by the In dians, under direction of Mr. Wetzel. Everything has been dene in a workman like manner, aud it is doubtful whether auy dozen of white bays, with equal ex perience, could have made a better job. The hospital will probably be ready for the reception of patients before winter sets in. Themas S. Itsighter is the boss tailor. His shop was opened in August, 1830. He has seven apprentices from four different tribes. Since the shop was opened about 900 suits of clothing and 300 sets of under wear have been made by the boys of the school. Nearly all the work oxcept the cutting out was done by the apprentices, who run the sewing machines as dexter ously as white tailors. Each boy of the school has at least ene blue uniform suit, and one or mere suits of citizens' dress, nearly all of which have been made by In dian tailors. Tlie i'rliitlns Oilice. There is a nc.it little printing office con nected with the school, from which are issued two monthly papers the Eaille Keatali Teh (Big Morning Star) edited by Masen D. Pratt, son of Capt. Pratt, and the Scheel News, heretofore conducted by an Indian boy named Samuel Tewnscnd, but new published and edited by an Iowa Indian boy named Charles Kihcga. Beth papers are well printed and contain much original matter, written in the interest of the school and of general Indian education. The pupils of the school centribute largely te the columns of these papers, many of the articles being both instructive aud amusing. Tlie matter is nearly all put in type by Indian boy.". The printing office contains also a Gorden press and a fair asseitment of job type, suitable for print ing cards, circulars and ether like matters As an evidence of the enterprise of the printer boys, it may be here stated that the press is only large enough te print one page at a time of the Kadle Keatah Teh, that the August number of said paper contains six pages and that qui$e a large edition was run off by the Iudian printers. Nene of the printing material was furnish ed by the government, but was donated by friends of the school. The ISakcry. The bakery is situated near the western side of the enclosure adjoining the dining rooms. It is iu charge of Wm. Thrush, and is fitted up iu first-cla-s style. AH the bread needed for the school is baked here by the Indian boys. They are indus triaus aud cleanly and make geed, light wholesome bread. The Farm anil tanner. Besides the few acics of land belonging te the school Capt. Pratt has leased an adjoining farm of 110 acres, se that as many as possible of the boys may have an opportunity of learning the principles and practice of agriculture. During the past season there was gathered from the farm ever 1,000 bushels of wheat and eats, 1,000 bushels of potatoes, a large quantity of hay, hundreds of bushels of turnips, beans, peas, beats and garden truck generally. All the crops were as geed as thes3 of neighbor ing farmers, aud nearly all the work of cultivating and gathering them was dene by the Indian boys under the superinten dence of Mr. Ames Miller, the owner of the farm. The corn was cut off while I was visiting the school, and I thus had an opportunity of seeing the sturdy Indian boys at work. With their sharp " corn cutters" they went through the twenty aero field like a cyclone, doing their work as neatly and making the 'shocks" as compact and symmetrical as they are made by Lancaster county farmers. During the summer vacation, which commenced en the 20th of June and ended en the 15th of September, about 70 of the larger boys and 25 of the girls were placed with farmers or ether reputable English speaking citizens in various parts of the state principally in Bucks and Columbia counties se that they might learn mere of domestic life, become better acquainted with the English language and earn some thing for themselves by working as farm ers and mechanics. The result has mere than justified the experiment. On the 15th inst. about GO of these boys and girls returned te the school, and almost with out exception they were greatly improved in every respect, speke highly of the fami lies with whom they had been living and brought back with them certificates of geed conduct from their employers and considerable sums of money, earned by their labors, te be deposited te their credit in the bank, where several of them have already made deposits. Se well pleased were Capt. Pratt and the apprentices and their employers with the result of this novel experiment that by mutual consent some thirty or mere of the pupils were permitted te remain with their employers during the coming winter. They will have the advantage of attending the dis trict schools and be thrown into the com pany of boys and girls who speak the Eng lish" language only, aud thus have a far better opportunity of acquiring a correct knowledge of it than they would at the Carlisle school, where se manycontinue te speak their native tongue. GlrU Industrial Department. The girls' industrial department is under the superintendence of Mrs. C. M. Worth Werth Worth ingten, a widow lady of excellent attain ments. Here the girls are taught all kinds of sewing, dressmaking, tailering.mendinjr, darning, crocheting, tec. They make all their ewii clothing and many ether articles of needlework, and and are instructed in general housekeeping matters, as far as opportunity affords. At the last aunual fair of the Cumberland county agricultu ral society seme of their work was placcjl en exhibition and received from the judges high commendation and liberal premiums. Many fine specimens of their work are en exhibition at the fair of the agricultural society, which commenced en the 27th inst. The laundry, under the management of Miss Mary Spain, is an important factor in thishive of Indiau industry. AH the washing and ironing for the teachers, pupils and ompleyccs is here done, and done well. As a single illustration of the amount of work dene in this depaitment I may mentien'that en ene day during my visit 187 blankets were washed. Te this add the uuderwear, towels, kerchiefs and hundreds of ether articles soiled by 300 people, and it will be scen the laundry is no sinecure. The Gymnasium. The northern wing of the large building at the north end of the campus, formerly used for stabling cavalry horses, has been metamorphosed into a reading "roertl and gymnasium. That part of it devoted te the gymnasium is perhaps 150 feet in length aud 40 feet in width. It has been newly floored with yellew pine beards and fitted up with a great variety of gymnas tic and calisthcuic apparatus, including dumb-bells, Iudian clubs, sand bags, wooden horses, ladders, parallel ears, horizontal bars, perpendicular bars, swinging rings, trapezes, sliding beards, spring beards, mattresses te prevent accidents, and all the ether appliances usual in such places. Along the walls have been nlaced a row of comfortable benches for the performers and spectators. Vhcn the Indians first entered tlie gym nasium, they were very awkward, and their muscles wcre se soft that few of them could even suspend themselves by the arms for any length of time en the swinging rings or trapezes ; but under the able tuition of Mr. 11. S. Reynolds they have made such progress in physical devel opment that many of them ca.n new exo exe cute the most difficult lessens with almost as much skill as their preceptor. They run up the ladders and climb a single rope te the comb of the reef of the building as nimbly as sailors, and turn somersaults and execute the various performances en all the apparatus with the skill of aetebats. Mr. Reynolds a few days age left the school te return te his home in Flerida, and his place in the gymnasium has been filled by Mr. Philip Nerman, the pest painter and leader of the brass band. Speaking of the brass band, this is an organization composed of ten or a dozen Indian boys with an equal number of brass instruments. They play a great number of marches and ether tunes, net se well, of course, as our famous City Cornet band, but very creditably, considering all things. Every few evenings thev march te the band heuse in the centre of the grounds, where they discourse music for their own improvement and the delecta tion of the school. A little mere practice under a skilled leader wiil make musicians of them. Tlie Reading Ite.mi. The reading room is perhaps fin ty feet square, floored, wainscoted and ceiled iu pine. A number or tables and benches have been arranged in it and it will seen be opened for the u.ie of the scholars. It will contain files of newspapers, maga zines and ether suitable reading matter, and will be a pleasant meeting place for theso of a literary turn. The Clt tpel Be ILmi Services. The chapel creeled last season by Capt. Pratt, is a commodious frame structure, and will scat 400 or 500 persons. The old scats formerly in use have given place te improved ash aud oak slat benches with iron-frame and folding scat. There are services in tha chapel every Sunday morn ing and evening conducted usually by Rey. Dr. Lippincott, of Dickinsen college, who is a very zealous agent in the cause of In diau education and evangelization. It was my pleasure during my visit te at! en I the chapel services. They wcre very iu t cresting and instruclivc.and I never saw a congregation give mere serious attention te what was said. Although Dr. Lippin cott took a text, his discourse was rather a conversational talk than a sermon. He frequently asked questions as te the lessen of the preceding Sunday, and received prompt answers from the boys and girls present. When Prof. Lippincott is net present the meetings are conducted by Mr. A. J. Standing, past quartermaster and interpreter, or Mrs. Piatt, an elderly gray-haired lady well versed in the scrip tures. Her lessen en the occasion of my visit was the journey of the Israelites from Egypt te the wilderness. In the evening Mr. Standing conducted the meet ing and called upon several of the Indians te participate in their own languages, which they did with much dignity and earnestness. Although I did net under stand a word they said, their prayers and addresses were delivered with a fervor that showed their hearts te be the prompt ers of their tongues. The musical part of the service was far above mediocrity. Miss Hyde, who has a powerful soprano voice, led the singing, while Miss Beeth played piano accompaniments. Several ether of the lady teachers are fine musi cians and many of the Indian boys and girls have right geed voices. Musical Entertainment. In this connection I may state that I at tended one evening a rehearsal or exercise held by some of the lady teachers. Several vocal soles wcre sung by Bliss Hyde and Mrs. Campbell, late of Lancaster, and a piano sole exquisitely rendered by Mrs. Shiverick. I have heard many professionals whose names have been blazoned en mam moth show-bills and who have " hrenrdit down the house" in fashionable opera who ( ceuiu uui aiug uui pittv uuu ia wen an mic teachers of the Indian school. The Hospital. The old hospital is near the dining-rooms and is in charge of Miss Wilsen. Fortu nately at this time she has very few patients only one of whom is seriously ill. The old building is unfit for a hospital, and very seen the sick will ne remevcu te tue new, comfortable and commodious ene nearly finished at the ether end of the campus. The diseases with which the Indians are most liable te be afflicted arc pneumonia and pulmonary consumption ; but I am in formed that the fatality from these causes is much less per cent, in the school than among Indians in their savage state. The Marat or It. I have give the above details at censid erable length.that theso readers of the Ix telligencek who are unacquainted with the character aud workings of the school may be informed thereof. It has been here proven that the Indian can be educated and civilized, and with an equal chance can held his ewu with the white man. Shall he have the chance ? There are Lut two solutions of the Indian question ex. termination or civilization. Which sha 11 it be ? Fer a century the United States have been expending millions et treasure and shedding oceans of b'oed, both of the red skin and the white, iu the attempt te bring the red man under subjection by means of powder and ball. Almest the only civilization "the red man has ever seen en frontier is the civilization of the rifie, the revolver and the bowie-knife. Is it won derful that the Indian has net liked this kind of civilization when he has seen it coupled with rapiueaud spoliation when he lias been drivt'n from the fertile lands of his fathers and hunted like a wild bea3t through the mountains ? Time and again he has been chested with treaties that ap pear only te have been made te be brokeu. At this very moment the United States are violating the obligations of a solemn treaty in which is stipulated that a sufficient number of schools should be established te educate all Indian children who should make application, aud yet thousands of applicants have been turned away with the flimsy excuse that there are no teachers or no school accommodations ! The success attending the Carlisle school ha; shown that the Indian can. be educated and civilized for a mere titlie of what itcostste hunt and butcher him. Which then shall it be, education or extermina tion? If the former, lut the Carlisle school have mero liberal appropriations than have been yet ineted out te it, and let dozens of similar schools be organized in different parts of the country until every one of the little redskins shall have the same opportunity of acquiring knowledge aud civilization as is accorded te the white and the black.
