INDIANS OF ALASKA ARE
NOW BECOMING TEACHERS
A new ambition is being awakened
among the natives of Alaska by the
bureau of education, and a new field
of endeavor has been found for them,
according to William T. Lopp, chief of
the Alaska division of the bureau of
education, who is now in Juneau.
Mr. Lopp says to be teachers them
selves among their own people Is a
position for which many of the native
students are striving. There are now
seventeen native teachers in Alaska.
One of the best reports received
from the teachers of the government
schools throughout the territory, ac
cording to Mr. Lopp, was from the
native boy who is a teacher in the
school at Cape Prince of Wales.
"When one takes into account the
progress made by these people in the
last number of years it is nothing
short of remarkable," said Mr. Lopp.
