Scope and Contents
Concerning the Forest Grove Indian Industrial Training School. Summarizes the aims and history of the school while it was located in Forest Grove. Among other things, Atkinson notes that the students' parents initially "objected and in some cases resisted the request and demand of the U.S. Government to remove their children rude homes to such a distant school." He claims that as of 1884, "it is held in honor among leading Indian chiefs and head men as their great Industrial School."
