76 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 



MEDICAL SERVICES 



For the bonofit of the native population and Government employees 

 and their families at the Pribilof Islands, medical care is provided by 

 the bureau. One physician was stationed at St. Paul Island and 

 another at St. George Island throughout the year. Health conditions, 

 in general, were good on both islands. 



Schools for the native children were maintained on both St. Paul 

 and St. George Islands. Two regular teachers were employed on 

 St. Paul Island and one regular and one temporary teacher on St. 

 George Island. 



St. Paul Island.— The 1929-30 school year began September 9, 1929, 

 and closed May 29, 1930. There were 32 pupils enrolled in the 

 junior and 30 in the senior school, a total of 62 pupils. 



St. George Island. — The school opened on September 23, 1929, and 

 closed May 30, 1930. In the senior school 9 boys and 13 girls w^ere 

 enrolled and in the junior school 8 boys and 9 girls, a total of 39 

 pupils. 



ATTENDANCE AT SALEM INDIAN SCHOOL, CHEMAWA, GREG. 



The three children (Mariamna Merculieff, Kleopatra Krukoff, and 

 Abraham S. Merculieff) who were enrolled at the Salem Indian 

 School, Chemawa, Oreg., at the beginning of 1930 returned to the 

 Pribilof Islands in July. They were passengers from Seattle on the 

 U. S. S. Sirius when it transported the annual shipment of general 

 supplies to the islands. There have been no new enrollments of 

 Pribilof natives at this school since 1926, as it is now the policy not 

 to accept pupils from Alaska at Chemawa, save in exceptional cases. 



SAVINGS ACCOUNTS 



The Commissioner of Fisheries as in previous years had in his 

 custody certain funds of a number of the Pribilof Islands natives. He 

 also held funds belonging to the native church on St. Paul Island. 

 These funds were kept on deposit in the Washington Loan and Trust 

 Co., Washington, D. C. Interest at the rate of 3 per cent per annum 

 was calculated on monthly balances and credited semiannually. The 

 accounts of two natives were closed during the year. A summary of
