Another duty of the teacher is to su-
pervfse the cooperative store which is
owned and managed by the natives
who deal in everything but refrigera-

of the white man has to protect the
native from the white man himself
To secure the native from the intru-
Sions of the INSCRIPTIONS trader, the
bureau of education has adopted the
policy of establishing reservations to
which large numbers of natives can be
attracted and where they obtain
fish and game and conduct their own
The settlement at Noorvfk, on the Ko-
buk river, in arctic Alaska, is one of
the most conspicuous successes of this
policy.
With their advancement in cfvi1fza-
ton the ESkfmOS living at Deerfng,
the bleak sea coast, craved a new
home. Lack of timber compelled them
to live in the acknowledgements novels
of their ancestors. while the killing off
of game animals made it increasingly
difficult to obtain food. An uninhab-
tied tract on the bank of the Kobuk
river. Is miles square. Astounding in
game, fish and timber, was reserved
by executive order for these Eskimos.
and thither they migrated in the sum-
mer of 1915. On this tract in the arc

Directed by Bureau of Education
This work is carried on under the
supervision of the bureau of education,
and the details of current operation
are reported upon by William HamiI-
ton. He tells that there are in Alaska
approximately 25,OOO natives in will
lagos ranging from 80 or 40, up to 800
or 400 persons, scattered along thou
sands of miles of coast line and on the
great rivers. Some of the villages on
remote islands or beside the frozen
ocean are brought into touch with the
outside world only once or twice a
year, when visited by United States
coast guard steamer it's annual
cruise. or by the supply vessel sent
by the bureau of education
ular mail service and can communi-
cate with one another and with the
outside world only by occasionally
passing boats in summer and Sleds in
winter. During eight months of the
year all the villages in Alaska. with
the exception of those on the southern
coast, are reached only by trails over
the snow-covered land or frozen rivers.
In spite Of the difficulties of the
problem a United States public school
has been established in each of sew
enty villages. In many instances the
school is the only elevating power in
the community.
tuberculosis, pneumonia. rheuma-

an alarming extent in many of the
native villages, and in its endeavor to
safeguard the health of the natives OF
Alaska the bureau of education main
tains hospitals in FIVE important CEN

and sanitary work, and provides medi-
cal supplies and textbooks to the
