REINDEER INDUSTRY IN

tensive, and varied that it is divided
into many different minor departments
and offices. Among these is the Bu-
subdivided into some twelve different
branches, among which is the division of
Alaska. 1t is with one of the activf-
ties of this subdivision that We have to
deal in this article.

not be very apparent, but there is a di-
rect and vital connection, as will be
shown. The school teachers sent by
Eskimo minds do not stop at the teach
ing of reading. writing. fd arithmetic.
They also look after the material well
fare of the natives and try to foster
and encourage thrift and energy in many
directions and do all in their power
to elevate them IN the scale of civiliza-
ton.
Among the most important problems
confronting the Arctic natives are the
procuring Of food and clothing suited
to the rigorous climate. Until the rein
deer industry was introduced these primal
necessities were meagerly supplied in a
precarious way by the hunters and trap
