1885List405Carlisle: J.N. Choate 1885. Albumen cabinet card 8 x 4 ⅞ inches on slightly larger mount. Very Good. Carlisle Indian Industrial School founded in 1879 was one of the most influential institutions of its type during its existence from 1879 to 1919. The purpose of the school - unlike some predecessors such as the Hampton Normal and Agricultural School which sent American Indians back to their homes upon graduation - was to fully eradicate American Indian culture from its pupils with strict discipline imposed on students who spoke in their native languages. John Nicholas Choate was a photographer from Carlisle whose pictures sought to extol the purported benefits of the Carlisle Indian School. American Indian delegates often visited the school and this picture shows several seated possibly with interpreters. Major James Haworth the first Superintendent of Indian Schools is shown in the photo with an "x" above his head and a note on the verso misspelling his name as James Hayworth. Haworth was an Indian Agent before his appointment as superintendent and it is unclear if this picture was taken before or after his appointment. <br /> <br /> A well preserved example with good contrast and two chips with loss at lower edge good to very good condition overall. J.N. Choate unknown books

An appeal to the school trustees to make available a suitable building for the instruction of 50 or 60 students composed "of youth of both sexes from the different religious societies in Town" to learn sacred music under the guidance of Col. D. R. Newhall of Boston "a gentleman of acknowledged ability." The petition acknowledges that "sacred music being considered a very important part of public worship when well conducted it would seem that every facility should be granted to those who undertake to obtain a knowledge of the science." Donald Nitz' article "The Norfolk Musical Society 1814-1820: An Episode in the History of Choral Music in New England" Journal of Research in Music Education Vol. 16 No. 4 Winter 1968 pp.319-28 discusses the transformation in American musical culture in the first few decades of the 19th century: "A group of reformers composed of clergymen immigrant European musicians and educated laymen made great efforts to bring about this change" to homophonic orthodox English idiom and away from the more "crudely-wrought but highly original and expressive fuguing tunes of William Billings Daniel Read Jacob French and many others." This transformation of the "sacred musical culture" was brought about through the propagation of musical societies and singing schools in small towns throughout New England <br/><br/> unknown books
