Territorial Superintendent L. D.;
Henderson has a greater geograph-!
, *cal area under his immediate super
vision than any state superintendent!
of public instruction in the United!
| States, but Mr. Lopp’s schools dot the
Alaskan coast line for six hundred
miles further north, there being nine
! government schools in Alaska. How1
many of our citizens, who are inclin
ed to look with contempt upon the!
work of the government teachers in^
I Alaska, know that there are about
I twice as many schools for Natives as
j ^ere are for white children, although
j onl-v «bout the same number of ac
| tual pupils. In addition to these. Mr.
! Uopp is superintendent of 90 reindeerj
stations, comprising over 100,000 deer,
more than 60,000 of which are owned
by native herders, at a value Of $1,
500.000. Rather a large responsibil- 1
ity, when we consider the fact that 1
Mr. Lopp. with the aid of five field 1
superintendents does, all the work 1
that usually falls to the lot of the 1
forty-five or more school boards of( a
elected school directors or trustees 4
in Alaska But that is not all. A l *
couple of hundred teachers, physicians ^
and trained nurses, in the field ser-1 15
vice, claim him as a personal friend
who provides them residence quarters^ c
as well as stipends; it Is also well e
known that he can tell by name thous-' b
ands of native men throughout the b
length and breadth of this great terri
tory. i a;
1
In addressing the Brotherhood at n
their closing meeting recently, Mr. b
I
Lopp said they should have strong
local camps in every native village,
and that part of their work should
be to take care of their sick and do
charitable humane work among them
selves. Instead of five or six villages
sending three delegates apiece to the
annual convention at Juneau, the
needs of the times demand that camps
be organized in every village in
southeastern Alaska and at least fifty
of the best representative men be
sent as delegates to the next conven
tion; that when southeastern Alaska
Is thoroughly organized, the move
ment should extend to the north, and
80 on, until it covers all parts of the
territory. To him it seemed that one
01 their race .should be elected as
paid secretary to travel and organize
local camps, and to instruct prospec
tive members as to what was being
accomplished pelsewhere. Mr. Lop
suggested that owing to great dis
tances and climatic differences, the
tbotherhood should have an official
'igan of its own, conducted entirely
natives, in which the progress of
he organization might be voiced in
-uglish, and all camps kept in touch
'ilh each other. He also emphasized
•m wisdom and necessity of keeping
he Native Brotherhood under the con
r°l and in the hands of Natives; he
rged them to be broad enough In
l0l*cy and administration to include
11 religious beliefs and to accept the
ood advice aud assistance of all
iachers and missionaries without re
d|d to their particular religious de
ominatiou.
Mr. Lopp has watched the growth
1 the Alaska Native from savag-|
r> to responsible citizenship, from
slpless poverty to thrifty compe- ,
ince. His latest project—the objec- j
ve point of his present visit to Al- j
>ka is the establishment of a tech- (
cal school at Metlakhatla, to which j
>.vs and girls who have attained a ,
I
scholastic, standing equal to the sev
' enth grade in the white schools may
round out thedr industrial training
according to the needs of the times.
: Practical instruction would be offered
in carpentering, boatbuilding, saw
! milling, gas engineering and other
lines of business, including house
| keeping, cooking, and dressmaking
for girls.
One of the ultimate aims of this
great educator is to replace white
teachers and nurses with Native men!
and women trained in the service to
handle future generations of their own
races.
“Is there any hope for the Native
races of Alaska?’’ asked one who is
engaged in work among them. “Not
if we view them as worthless drunk
en ‘Siwashes,’ tainted by filth and
disease, whose generous spendings i
we encourage and accept while rele
gating the spenders to the gutter or
the jail. But if, like William T. Lopp (
and Charles W.| Hawkesworth, we
judge of their future by the progress
already accomplished by representa-’ a
tive ’eaders of their races, we shall d
say ’yes.’ they are working out their'
salvation as our own parents did a' p
few centuries ago.”
