WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—To fi
the natives of Alaska in a practica
way to meet the bewildering condi
tions forced upon them by the whjt
man’s complex civilization—this ha
been the policy of the department o
the interior through its bureau of ed
ucation. It is well known that Secre
tary Lane takes a special interest ii
all Alaskan matters.
Practical education is emphasizes
In the school rooms of Alaska sue!
instruction is given as will enable th
natives to live comfortably and t
deal intelligently with those witl
whom they come in contact. Carpen
tery, cooking and sewing are promi
nent subjects of instruction, togethc
with English and elementary arithme
tic. 1 he school work is connected di
rectly with community life.
Children and older men and wontei
are encouraged and directed in gar
dening, and many of them grow con
siderable quantities of vegetables
Most of the school buildings contain
in addition to the recitation room, ;
work shop, kitchen, laundry and bath
room. Sanitary methods of living an
impressed upon the natives; the na
tives are urged to replace their filth;
huits by neat, well-ventilated houses
In some sections the natives hav
been taught how to raise vegetables
these forming a healthful addition ti
the usual diet of fish and meat.
The government teacher in Alask;
is not merely a teacher of academii
subjects, but a leader and guide in thi
life of the community.
