by the commanding officer OF the post
and the chiefs looked to Frost more and
more for counsel.
At that time the influence of the old
traditions and ways were so great that
nearly all the young Indians after being
at school, gradually drifted back into
the blanket Indian ways. Frost, too,
found the old influences at work to such
an extent that he felt that he must
either cut loose from the tribal life or
abandon the ideals that he had imbibeq
at Carlisle. Breaking away from rela-
tives n friends, he took up an alo
ment of land OF Deer creek near Grey
Cliff, and began life as a rancher.

 Tn addition to the travel of superin- tendents, the doctors, nurses and rein deer supervisors travelled extensively and submitted reports of travel and recommendation. Moreover, the Chief of the Alaska Division during the year performed the following travel: by train 6771; by ocean and river steam CT, 2,579 miles; by gas boat, 5,763 miles; total 8,959.1 miles. He visited 40 stations, had conferences with all the district superintendents and made complete reports to the Commissioner of Education.
