ALASKA NATIVE SCHOOLS
Approximate.y $400 less a year
is expended annually on each
Federal native school in Alaska
than in Federal schools in the
States, according to Willard W.
Beatty, National Director of Ed
ucation of the Office of Indian
Affairs.
Beatty, who is touring Alaskan
schools under the Office of In
dian Affairs, left Juneau on the
Haida, accompanied by officials
of the Office. The education dir
ector visited Alaska four years
ago and is up here again to see
what existing facilities are in the
schools and what the needs are.
They will touch Unalaska, Nome
and Point Barrow and points
along the way. From Barrow
they will return to Kotzebue
where they will leave by plane
for the Bristol Bay and the Kus
kokwim areas. The party will be
traveling until about Sept. 1.
According to Indian Office of
i ficials there has been an increase
I of nearly 25 percent in the en
rollment of native schools in the
last six years. The native enroll
i ment of about 6,900 students in
Federal schools is greater than
white enrollment in Territorial
schools this year for the first
time.
In addition to children in
schools there were about 9,500
adults taking classes in crafts
such as ivory carving, sled mak
ing, basket weaving, etc., under j
Indian Affairs teachers.
The Office of Indian Affairs
chooses the best Eskimo fur work.
ers in the various villages to in-!
struct the Eskimos in the making;
of parkas and mukluks. These j
fur garments are being sold to!
the Army and Navy and approxii
mately $30,000 has been paid to
the natives in the Nome district!
already.
About half of the employees
under the Indian Affairs Office in
the Territory are natives, said
Beatty.
