Paul Island on the Penguin on April 18 and was on duty throughout 

 the remainder of the year. It is planned to have him continue until 

 all needed dental work is completed. 



Two natives, a woman and child, from St. Paul Island were taken 

 to Seattle on the \ega in August for medical attention. The woman's 

 case was properly cared for, and she returned to St. Paul Island on the 

 Penguin in October. The child, a girl 5 years old, was placed in the 

 Orthopedic Hospital at Seattle for treatment for tubercular hip. 

 She is reported to be getting along satisfactorily, but it will probably 

 be necessary for her to remain at the hospital for at least a year.

SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

 Co., Washington, D. C. The rate of interest was reduced twice 

 during the year — on April 1 from 3 to 2^ per cent and on July 1 to 

 2 per cent. Interest was calculated on monthly balances and credited 

 semiannually. One account was closed during the year. A summary
