EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Industrial School in Lansing, Michigan, circa 1917. The boys, dressed in uniforms and focused intently on their drill instructor, embody the discipline and structure that was a hallmark of industrial schools during the early 20th century. Industrial schools were institutions designed to provide care and education for orphaned, abandoned, or neglected children. These schools aimed to provide a stable environment, as well as vocational training to help the children become self-sufficient adults. Drills like the one depicted in this photograph were an essential part of daily life, instilling order, obedience, and physical fitness. The boys in the photograph appear serious and determined, their expressions reflecting the importance of the task at hand. Their uniforms, with their collared shirts and ties, suggest a sense of unity and belonging. The drill instructor, standing at the front, watches over the boys with a stern yet caring gaze, ensuring that they execute each movement correctly. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of children in an industrial school during the 1910s. It serves as a reminder of the importance of providing care and education for those in need, and the role that institutions like the Industrial School in Lansing played in shaping the lives of countless children during this era.
