Restructuring of Industrial Classes for Boys and Girls

Date
January 24-29, 1917

Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs E. B. Meritt asks Carlisle Indian School Superintendent Oscar H. Lipps why the school has combined farming and stock raising into one subject for boys and why sewing, home-nursing, and poultry raising has been combined into a single twenty week period for girls.

Lipps explains to Meritt that they changed the classes because it is "more practical and easier of accomplishment." He finds it beneficial to be able to teach a class multiple related subjects over the course of the academic year.
