I found 692 Outing assignments for Mercer County, PA - CIIS student workers.

 Looks like almost 200 farmers / business had Carlisle Indian School students in their employ / or were perhaps boarding them, in the Trenton area. There were 266 in Robbinsville and one of them was the greatest athlete in the world - Jim Thorpe (Sac and Fox). In fact, he lived with the same farmer twice for a total of over 18 months between between 1905 and 1907.
