ON SCHOOLS
(Continued from Page Six)
of this enterprise in Alaska is most.
| interesting and is not generally
: known. Our teachers should know
i it well. During 1890, Dr. Sheldon
Jackson, general agent of education!
in Alaska, was impressed with the
fact that the natives in Arctic and
: sub-Arctic Alaska were rapidly losing
the sources of their food supply.
Each year the whales were going
farther and farther north, beyond the
reach of the natives who had no
steamships in which to pursue them;
the walrus, which formerly had been
seen in herds by the thousands, were
disappearing; the seal were becoming
exterminated, and in the winter the |
; Eskimo had to tramp 15 to 20 miles j
j out on the ice before he could catch j
! one. The modern hunter with his
■ gas and steam launches and rapid-1
1 fire guns, had found the whales, wal-!
I rus and seals such easy prey that he j
' was ruthlessly destroying them. The 1
! wild caribou, that the native had easi
ly captured before, has also been '
frightened away and was rarely seen, j
“Not only was the Eskimo losing
his food, but what in an Arctic clim
ate is no less important, his clothing
as well. The whalebone, the ivory
tusks, the seal skin, the oil had given
him means of barter with the Siberian
traders across the straits, from which
he obtained reindeer skins to keep
him warm in winter.

First Deer Experiments
“Dr. Jackson saw that unless some
thing was done at once the United
States would have to choose between
feeding the 20,0000 and more natives
or letting them starve to death. The
latter course was impossible; the for
mer expensive. In 1891 Dr. Jackson
brought the first herd of 16 reindeer
across Bering strait from Siberia and
started his reindeer colony at Teller.
Many smiles at the experiment and
declared his plans for stocking the
great barrens of northwestern Alaska
i with thousands of animals, which for
i i
centuries had been indispensable to
the natives of Lapland and Siberia,
wras impracticable and wasteful of
time and money. But the experiment
prospered from the very first. Other
reindeer numbering nearly 1,000 in all
during the succeeding years, were
brought over from Siberia. After 12
years from the first importation there
wTere nearly 6,000 reindeer in the J
various herds distributed along the J
Alaskan coast from Point Barrow to ]
Bethel.”
Export of Reindeer Meat
According to recent figures com
piled by the Bureau of Biological
Survey there are now about 350,000
reindeer in Alaska, distributed in 110
herds. In addition to this number it
is estimated that about 125,000 have
been slaughtered for meat and cloth
ing. During the period from 1918 to
1926 more than 1,875,000 pounds of,
reindeer meat was shipped from Alas
ka, the total for 1923 being approxi
mately 200,000 pounds, for the year
1924 about 375,000 pounds and for
1925 approximately 680,000 pounds to
gether with several hundred live ani
mals for distribution in the States.
Steers for butchering sold in 1925
for $10 to $12 a head. Breeding
stock is valued at $18 to $30tper head
and the average cost of production
for each animal is about $1 per year.
While the native schools are stress
ing the industrial features of the cur
ricula, the courses are such as to open
the way for higher education when
ever the student desires to travel be
yond the bounds of purely utilitarian
instruction.
