MAKES THE GRADE
Francis Leslie has received word
that he has been named first of
principal alternate to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis for 1931.
Last year he was second alternate
and since the principal made the
'‘grade” he did not have any chance
of being admitted. Francis, the
son of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Leslie of
Seward and a graduate of the Sew
ard high school, will begin to at
tend prep school at Annapolis this
coming fall and will probably take
his entrance examinations next
April.
Work on an airport for Peters
burg has just been started.

HISTIRD HOE
CHILDREN RECEIVING MANY
BENEFITS; HAS EXCELLENT
STAFF WELFARE WORK
By taking a trip on the S- S. Starr
the office of education activities
are very much in evidence all along
the route. First was passed Kan
atak. a one-teacher school, with
about 20 pupils. Next is Perryville
where two teachers are employed,
with 30 or 35 pupils in attendance.
A native store was started there
about two years ago which seems to
be progressing in a small way. The
next school along the line is Belko
sky—a two-teacher school—with
about 25 children. Father D. I.
Hotovitsky is very active there for
the welfare of the native and in
sists that they spend their earnings
for the betterment of their homes
and the up-building of their vil
lage. This year they are putting
up five new houses and he will see
that they paint them and keep
them in good repair.
These natives fish during the
summer and make a good living
under Father Hotovitsky’s super
vision. It is absolutely necessary
for these people to have a leader
and when it is their good fortune
to get a leader who has their inter
est at heart, instead of his own, the
prosperity and well-being of the
natives is very noticable.
The next office of education vil
lage is Akutan. The village is about
a mile from the whaling station
and here again the natives have
the benefit of summer employment.
Their village is under the supervis
ion of Hugh McGlashan, who has a
family of 11 living children. This
-is experienced by our Alas
kan guests who return to us; it
is quite pleasing to new friends.

i The next native school is at Um

with 25 pupils. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
P. Stowell are the teachers,
j Altho the Starr does not go fur- |
Ther than Umnak in the Aleutian j
Islands, mention should be made of j
Atka the farthest west school of!
'the office of education, with one
teacher and 21 pupils- Here the
.natives live from the products of
their fox islands and, according to
The figures obtained, they should
! be, not only comfortable but j
! wealthy.
The vessel then leaves the Al- \
eutian Islands and travels up to I
Bristol Bay where the office ofj
education has an industrial school
at Kanakanak and a government
hospital attached. The school is i
’under the guidance of Horace Cald
well .principal teacher, and the !
'hospital has for its head Dr. Wm.|
K. Murphy, who is very efficient
and deeply interested in his work.
| The office of education is fortun- I
ate in having a man of his calibre !
| in this responsible position. It is
understood he had his hands full
, with much sickness during the past
| winter. The hospital staff consists
| of a doctor, two graduate nurses, a
native pupil nurse, orderly and
cook. The industrial school staff
; of nine, consists of the principal
teacher, two matrons, a mechanic,
manual training teacher, three
grade teachers and a cook. The
hospital has been established pri
marily for the native children of :
:the institution, but gives all medi- j
cal aid to any who are within its
reach.
The industrial school opens its
Qoors to all children in need of a
home, or protection. It is not nec
essary that they be orphans entire
ly. Many are taken in who have
one parent, if that parent is una
ble to provide a home. They are
sent from all parts of Alaska and
are not refused admittance; if this

institution cannot accommodate
them, they are sent to one of the
other two industrial schools operat
ed by the office of education in Al
aska. It is the object to make this
!institution a home in every sense
| of the word. When a child reaches
.the age where he or she is able to
'make a living and branch out for
themselves, they are allowed to ob
tain suitable employment, but if
for any reason they find themselves
unable to continue, the door is al
ways open for them to return.
They are taught their native arts,
and with the abundance of ma
chinery on the ground it is not dif
ficult to give practical training to
those who have mechanical incli
nations. The girls have thorough
instruction in domestic arts and are
taught every branch of household
work that will fit them to become
good wives and mothers.
It is necessary that teachers in
this branch of the government ser
vice have two years college. How
ever. these academic qualifications
are not all that is required of them.
They should be deeply interested
in the welfare of the native; be
equipped with a knowledge of
nursing; have high ideals. It is
also necessary that they be able
to adopt themselves to the native
village life and in fact have all the
qualifications of a welfare worker.
The remainder of office of edu
cation schools in this district are:
Kulukuk, Togiak, Egegik, Ugashik,
Koggiung, Iliamna and a new one
i is being built this year at Nondal
ton, with two teachers. All above
mentioned schools have two teach
ers and average 22 pupils.
