INDIAN OFFICE OFFICIAL
IS INVESTIGATING USE OF
LIQUOR AMONG NATIVES
William Zimmerman, the high
est official of the office of Indian
Affairs who ever visited Alaska,
is traveling over the Territory on
a tour of inspection, accompanied
by Claude M. Hirst, general sup
erintendent and director of edu
cation for the Indian service in
Alaska, according t a recent issue
of the Fairbanks News-Miner.
Mr. Zimmerman is assistant
commissioner, the right-hand
man of Commissioner John Col
lier, Washington, D. C.
In part, Mr. Zimmerman’s mis
sion is to investigate the traffic
in and use of liquor among the
Indians and Eskimos in Alaska—
this investigation at the instiga
tion of Secretary of Interior Ick
es who visited the Interior of Al
aska this summer.
“Deplorable” is the adjective
used by Secretary Iskes in des
cribing liquor conditions among
the natives.
Mr. Zimmerman said his pur
pose is to gather information for
j guidance in policy in the admin
istration of Indian Affairs.
Under the direction of Mr. Hirst,
the Indian service employs ap
; proximately 350 persons in Alas
ka. The office has 100 schools, 7
hospitals, 3 dispensaries, head
quarters staff, and 7 people in
the reindeer service.
To help fit the younger genera
tion of natives to present day
living conditions in Alaska, tihe
Indian service has 167 full-time
teachers and 70 special assistants
or part-time instructors. To at
tend to the medical needs of the
natives, there are 75 nurses,both
staff and field, and physicians.
The first problem of the Indian
service teaaher in a community,
Mr. Hirst said, is to interpret the
needs of that particular oommun
ity. Then the teacher’s job is to
help the members of the com
munity learn to use the tools and
resources they have at hand.
Thereby the people can adapt
themselves to existing conditions
and their education will help
them to live a more independent
and healthier life.
uwo hospitals are un
der construction by the Office of
Indian Affairs. one at Barrow
and the other at Bethel. The
work at Barrow is under the di
rection of Charles D. Brower,
veteran trader in the ArcticBoth
the Betihel and the Barrow hos
pitals are to be completed next
year. Piling and foundation of
the Bethel construction were
done this season.
Messrs Zimmerman and Hirst
visited Fort Yukon via plane re
cently. They will go down the
Kuskokwim and into the Lower
Yukon, then to Nome, and Kot-1
zebue, and Barrow. After re
turning from the Arctic they will
travel in southeastern Alaska.
Mr. Zimmerman said that he
plans to leave Alaska October 1.!
