Little Elk, one of the returned Carlisle boys, went to
Lawrence to act as baker for the new school, he having learned baking at
Calrisle. His wife went with him and is engaged as assistant laundress.
A number of other Carlisle pupils went and are employed in various ways
about the institution. Thus it will be seen that Indian labor is being
utilized as far as possible for helpers at this school.
