FOR ALASKAN NATIVES
WILL BE EXTENDER
Facilities for industrail training
in Alaska will be extended as rapid
ly as funds will permit, the Bureau
of Education, Department of the In
terior, has just announced. It is the
policy of the bureau to give voca
tional training in the territory in
stead of sending natives to the Unit
ed States for such education, as was
formerly done. The full text of the
statement follows:
Until recently no systematic form
of industrail education for Alaskan
natives was provided within the ter
ritory. Young Alaskans were sent to
the States for vocational training.
Tins policy did not prove satisfactory
for the reason that after a stay in
the States many of these boys and
g;rls found it difficult to adapt them
selves to their home environment.

Policy Was Changed.
To meet the foregoing situation,
the policy has been adopted of estab
lishing industrail schools within
Alaska. Hence industria lschools
nave been organized at Eklutna.
near Anchorage, on the Alaska Rail
road; at Kanakanak, on Bristol Bay.
and at White Mountain, on Seward
Peninsula—all of which are stra
tegic points. Eklutna, being near the
Alaska Railroad, is readily access
ible for pupils from the interior and

tl’nents on the southern coast. Ka
nakanak will be the center for voc
ational training for the Aleuts and
foi the Eskimos of southwestern
Alaska. To the White Mountains will

Ii.eluded in the curriculum of

carving, and basket weaving.
Centuries of experience in the use
of tools of their own contrivance has
developed in the native races mec
