Scope and Content Note
The series consists of bound and unbound volumes that report the menus served to children at the school each day. Chapter 162 of the Laws of 1875 required that orphan and destitute Indian children be furnished with care, moral training, and education, and that detailed accounts be kept on the receipt and disbursement of all monies expended or acquired by the school in the course of fulfilling those responsiblities.
All food and beverages served at each meal are listed. Usually the name of the person completing the report is also given, and occasionally the total number of meals served during the week.
