Quarterly Statement of Arrivals at and Departures from the Salem Indian School, 1909–1926

1909-1926

This series consists of quarterly reports, dated 1909 to 1924, that record travel by students at the Chemawa Indian School (sometimes referred to as the Salem Indian School). The reports typically provide a student's name, tribe, and age; indicate the starting and ending point of the trip; and show the distance of the trip in miles. The reports include a separate section recording student attempts to run away from the school. Entries in this section typically include a student's name, tribe, and age; details of the runaway attempt; and an indication whether the student was captured and returned to the school. The series also includes correspondence relating to student travel, 1926, and lists and correspondence relating to girls enrolled in an "outing" program (i.e., placed in the private homes with work assignments), 1925-1926.
