GOOD PROGRESS BEING
MADE AT NATIVE SCHOOL;
SEWARD MAN IN CHARGE
• - •
Arthur H. Miller left for Anchor
age on today’s Gateway City limit** l
having arrived here f:om Chit na and
Cordova where he has been superin
tending the taking of the census. Mr.
Miller recently returned fiom Kodiak
and other westward points. No infor
mation may be given out regarding
the census until the reports are all in
and have been officially pub’i.died,
says Mr. Miller but ns tbe record4
have b'on made on a basis of January
1, they will show the country to the
westward at its lowest ebb of popula
tion.
Mr. Miller made a Hp to Chitmn to
inspect the native school at Copper
Center. It is under the care of M>.
and Mrs. Paul Schwartz, who wove
appointed to their present position ay
Mr. Miller a year ago last August.
M>*. Schwartz is a scbo'nrlv man. n
graduate of an Eastern un;vo s;* \
and h;s wufe was a teacher at Sa1 mi.
They a’e responsible for about three
bund ed Indians.
' Never have I se^n a gr'ater im
provement ’n the condition of rativ* s
in so short a t:mc° said Mr. Mi 'v
“I can’t speak too h:gh!y of the work
of Mr. and Mrs. Schwa tz They take
u g eat interest in tneir charges ana
have almost mastered the native lan
guage. 1-ast year they made a greu*.
success of their summer school, ami
aic now holding a night school. Es
pecially in this work of teaching the
natives, success depends upon the per
sonality of the teachers— their tact
and ability to handle people.
“Probably the most piomising ~i
the Schwartz es’ pupils is a young man
named Estaco E-wan. lie is abovt
21, married, and has a child or two.
His great ambition is to be educated,
and he has worked pretty well ip
through geography, United State.-*
history, decimal fiactions, and so or%,
until he is able to assist with the
teaching. 1 gave him a copy of
Booker Washington’s autobiography.
“Up from Slavery,” and he pores for
hours over the wonderful story of the
great leader of the black race, whose
biith as a slave pickaninny was so
lowly that he knew neither his name
nor the year when he was born.
“One of our best teachers is M *s.
Catherine Seller, a full-blooded Aleut
native of Unalaska, who at the age
of eight was taken to Boston to be
educated. She is a graduate of Ca1
lisle, and is now helping to educate
her people at Alkhiok, on the south
end of Kodiak island.
“On my last visit to the Indian
school at Chemawa, Ore., I asked all
th^ pupils from Ala: ka to rise, and
about 40 per cent got up. The Che
mawa school is doing a magnTcieet
work, but it would be better if Alrska
had such a school up here. The gov
ernment has appropriated as h’gh as
n;ni millions in one year for the In
dians of the Stutes .while Alaska is
rut off with $2-5,000. and $50,000 ex
tra for medical relief And I haven t
heard one word of news f’om the Bris
tol Bay count-y since leaving ther\
last October! Some mail service!
“While 1 wa* at Copper Center M>
Schwartz ha 1 the natives s!np for me
a nrmhem ot patrotic and war soup*
\vh;ch tlwy went thronph with P"cat
gusto, led by a boy about ten ha’f
