Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the Work of the Bureau of Education for the Natives of Alaska, 1914-15 During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, the field force of the Bureau of Education in Alaska consisted of 5 superintendents, 1 assistant superintendent, 97 teachers, 7 physicians, and 8 nurses. Sixty-seven schools were maintained, with an enrollment of 3,436 and an average attendance of 1,963. In addition to maintaining schools for the native children in Alaska, the bureau has continued its endeavors in behalf of the entire native communities by extending medical relief, by maintaining sanitary methods of living in the villages, by promoting the industries conducted by the natives, and by relieving destitution. Of the appropriation for "Education of natives of Alaska for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915," more than $25,000 was used in employing seven physicians and eight nurses; in maintaining improvised hospitals at Nulato, Kotzebue, and Karnataka; in payments under contracts with St. Ann´s Hospital at Juneau, with the Good Samaritan Hospital at Valdez, with the Holy Cross Hospital at Nome, with the Fairhaven Hospital at Candle, and with the Children´s Orthopaedic Hospital at Seattle, for the treatment of natives; also, as heretofore, in furnishing the teachers of the United States public schools with medical supplies and medical books in order to enable them to treat minor ailments. The efforts of the bureau to secure from Congress a specific appropriation to provide for the medical and sanitary relief of the natives of Alaska have met with success, $25,000 having been granted for that purpose for the fiscal year 1915-16. Much of the sickness prevailing among the natives of Alaska is caused by the eating of food which has not been properly prepared. The waters of Alaska teem with fish, and wild berries grow in profusion throughout its vast area, but in many villages, according to the ancient practice, fish for winter use are either dried in the sun, crudely smoked, or buried in the earth, while the berries are preserved in oil.
