t'HE OH EM AW A AMERICAN
be an Indian school, I want it to be a
first class one, and to. turn out the sort
of young men and young women who
can do what the founder of the institu
tion originally intended to have them do
--find a living in the East. The best
way, as it seemed to me, was to take up
and make important those studies which
wpuld- enable the young people to bring
something really valuable to a near by
market; and the industrial arts, as the .
State, of Pennsylvania has shown by its
liberal policy of trade education, . are
those y hich.appeal most strongly to the .
Eastern employer and to the, Eastern
consumer. ,
In short, instead of letting Carlisle
School drift, 1 wanted it to have a set
tled and definite- policy. I do not believe
'that such an enterprise can succeed on
any different basis. The other non-reservation
schools which are worth keep
ing at all, and whose life will probably
be continued for the course of some years
more,; will be organized on a similar
principle, with a view to making them
contribute to the material interests of
their pupils instead of supplying a mere
theoretical education. ,
Mr. Friedman is not only a very com
petent, instructor and an enthusiast in
his own line, but he is a man of mental
breadth and good breeding, with a pro
pensity" for truth-telling which I think
will promote a wholesome atmosphere
in the student body.
I enjoyed very much my brief visit to
Carlisle this year,( and shall bear with
me for a long time the memory of the
cordial greeting given me and the hos
pitalities of the school, as well as the
impression of a pleasant feeling and live
interest among some of the more im
portant workers there.
With all good wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Francis E. Leupp,
Commissioner.
Arrow.
