A report from the bureau of educa
tion for the natives of Alaska, of which
William T I/opp is superintendent, for
the years 1916-1917, has Just been is
sued. and contains much Information
dealing with the progress the natives
are making. Academic work Is being
taught, but not to the exclusion of
practical training along the lines of
hygiene, manual training, and in fact
everything that makes for proressive
American citizenship.
Arthur H. Miller, acting superin
tendent of the Southwestern division,
calls the special attention of the com
missioner of education and the chief
of the Alaska division to the need of
establishing a reserve for the natives!
of the Copper river. He says that In I
his opinion too much emphasis can j
not be placed upon the importance
and value of obtaining this reserve,!
and adds:
"We believe the time is rapidly ap-j
proaching alien the exploiting of
Alaska natives will be a thing of the 1
past Though there yet remains much
to be done, no one who has known
Alaska natives for a considerable
number of years doubts that advance
ment has been made among them
where schools have been established
and proper Christianizing influences
have obtained.
i i $/imu vjl Lcuuaiiiiu^ me pop-!
; ulation would materially assist In the
i administration of medical relief and
j adequate sui>ervi»ion. The doctors!
j now under regular appointment can*
j not reach the scattered natives. The
I doctors as well as the teachers, as;
: far as my knowledge extends, are con-1
| m'ietttiously performing their duties,
jit is no more thun just to say that!
l though there are many cases of mis- j
treatment and injustice done the na-j
I lives by a certain class ol undesir
ables, there are many instances of j
kindness and assistance rendered j
them by a majority of the citizens of j
Alaska."
A review oC Superintendent! Lopp's
report presents the idea that the na
tives are not a» robust as ftarmerly,
but they are putting the instruction j
on hygiene received from their*jStfcii-j
era to valuable use. As a consequence j
their general health, is better now- than
a few years ago, when they were-pass
ing through that trausitional period
between the time they broke their;
tribal life and customs and had not
learned to take full advantage of the
better part of the white man's ways
Statistics regarding the reindeer
service for the fiscal years ending
June 30. 1917, give 98 different herds,
numbering 98.528 deer. This was an
Increase of 20 per cent over the pre
vious year, notwithstanding the fact
that 13.144 deer were killed for meat j
and skins, or were lost. The income1
to the natives from meat and hides
sold amounted to $97,515. The na
tives own 69 per cent of the reindeer
in Alaska, the government 3 per cent
and white men and Lapps own 23 per,
cent. Reindeer fairs have been held
fn several places and tend to enlighten
and encourage the natives in the work.
The ''warble” fly ban attacked the
herds, and can be eradicated only with
difficulty. The animal is i»ot malerl
ally affected, but even afler healing,
scars are left In the hides Wild cari-!
bou are also affected by this fly. Hoof j
disease has caused some loss, but can
be combated to u certain extent hyj
moving the herds to new feeding
grounds away from contaminated
soli. j
