BETTER HEALTH. ETC.
 FOR INDIAN TRIBES
Educational Advantages to Be En-
 hanced by J. s. Bureau

Washington, Sept l, tBy the As sociated Press Plans for the im- provement of the condition of the Indians with particular regard to health and education, are being worked out by Commissioner Burke of Indian affairs with the approval of Secretary Fall, and an increase in the estimates for the Indian bureau prob ably will be asked in the next Indian appropriation bill
 The American Red Cross recently acceded 10 a request from the Inter- Tor department for the assignment of three trained nurses to be detailed to the Indian bureau for one year, as the first step in Commissioner Burke's program. In addition plans for en- larged school facilities to educate 20,- GOO Indian children of school age not now in school are being worked out Approximately 6000 of this number belong to the Navaioe tribe and have never been to school.
 The nurses assigned to the Indian service, 1t was said at the Indian bureau will make a survey of condi- tions on Indian reservations and give a demonstration of what may be ac- complished by women trained as nurses and in welfare work, to lay the foundation for asking congress for an appropriation to enable the Indian bureau to employ on the reservations women of a higher grade for ma irons and general field service, ac- cording to Commissioner Burke's plans.
 There is great opportunity" Commissioner Burke said today in commenting on his plans. flor im- proving home conditions among h. dians and in teaching sanitation and looking after the health of children.
New Britain herald., 1922-09-01

The American Red Cross at its re.
 cent meeting made m allotment of
 funds to cover the exp.ns necessary
 to employ the three nurses and they will be soon assigned to the Indian
 bureau and will go into the field to spend one year One will be stationed
 on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud res eryations in South Dakota, the other two will go to the Southwest and work among the different Indians in Arizona and New Mexico. This Is only part of a general plan adopted by the Inter- for department for improving end
 bettering conditions among the In- dans.
 Another subject that is receiving great deal of attention is that of ducation-huildng up the schools already in the service, increasing the attendance to their full capacity, and strengthening the personnel. There is said to be 10000 Indian children Of school age not now In school, and fully 5000 of this number are Maya joes that have never been to school. An increase in the estimates for ed- ucation will be submitted. in the hope that congress will respond In view of the demand.
 Tt is planned, If the money can be to enlarge many of the school plants by porch and other cheap construction, and it is also hoped that two abandoned military posts, Fort Wingate, New Mexico and Fort Apache, Arizona, can be trans ferred by the war department to the Interior department, to be converted into Indian schools. Both of these posts are desirable and well located and should care for probably 1000 pupils.
 The Interior department and the Indian bureau are giving much at- tention to health conditions at the several Indian schools and upon the different Indian reservations. and the present policy is to try and have at least one hospital upon every reser- vation with a capacity sufficient to care for the sick, and particularly h. dians that are very aged and inf1rm and without means of homes where they can be comfortably and properly cared for"

Washington, Feb. 4.--The goal of
a merchant marine manned by eXclu-
sively American seamen is drawing
near, according to reports on the sub
ject recently compiled.
During the past few months more
than 95 per cent of the seamen plac-
ed on American vessels by the Ship

the men placed were Americans.
From July to November 1921, the
number increased, so that now there
are ships which have 100 per cent
American crews aboard
The final goal is to have every ship
