Arbor Day

Male and female students posed in semi-circle watching a tree being planted, presumably as part of the Arbor Day observances. 

This image, with the caption TREE PLANTING, appears in The Indian Industrial School, Carlisle, Pa.: 23rd Year (Carlisle, PA: The School, 1902) [p.90].

Alfred John Standing forwards a report on the Arbor Day proceedings held at the Carlisle Indian School on April 25, 1890 noting that it was successful and should be replicated at other Indian Schools.
