REINDEER IN ALASKA.
More Than $1,000 Now Used by the
Natives-F;fty-Two Public Schools.

More than $4,000 dolnesticated rein
deer are used by the natives Of Alas
ka, according to the report of the Fed
cral Commissioner of Education, I'M
der whose direction the Territorial
reindeer service is administered. The
government began supplying reindeer
to the natives of Alaska in 1892. For
a number of years $4,000 was appro.
priated for the purpose. The amount
expended on this account was recent.
ly reduced to $4,000 a year.
During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1907, the Bureau of Education
maintained fifty-two United States
public schools for natives in Alaska.
Reports have not been received from
four of these schools. In the remain
ing fOrty-eight the total enrolment
during the year was 2,4S3, and the ay-
erage attendance 1916.
Plans are being made for progress
sive notifications in the methods en-
plOyed in the schools in Alaska. with
view to rendering the natives bet
ter able to care for themselves. Be-
ginnings have been made in industrial
training in some of the schools, as
we'll as in connection with the rein
deer herds. 1t is proposed that the
natives be instructed in the best
methods. of catching and curing fish,
in caring for all parts of the walrus
and whale that are merchantable, in
the handling of wooden boats, in the
tanning and preparing of skins, in
coal mining and in the elements of
agriculture.
