EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1901, captures a moment in the history of the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The image depicts a class of boys and girls, likely Native American students, seated at desks in a government class. The students, dressed in simple clothing, are intently focused on their lessons, with their teacher standing at the front of the room. The classroom furniture, including the desks and chairs, is typical of the era, reflecting the colonial influence of the time. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School was established in 1879 with the goal of assimilating Native American children into white American culture. The school was located in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and was one of the largest and most influential boarding schools for Native Americans in the United States. The students were taught a variety of subjects, including government, to help them assimilate into American society. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a prominent American photographer who documented many aspects of American life during the early 20th century. Her work, including this photograph, is an important part of the historical record and provides insight into the lives of Native American students during this period. The image is now held in the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance.
