HEALTH CONDITIONS. 



There were no features of special importance in respect to the 

 health conditions of the natives. Numerous cases of impetio;o oc- 

 curred on St. Paul Island, and late in the summer and throuoh the 

 fall months there were many cases on St, George Island. There 

 were no other epidemics and no serious accidents. Taking their 

 race into consideration, the health of the Pribilof natives during 

 1922 may be considered to have been normal. A Unalaska native 

 temporarily emx^loyed on St. Paul Island died there in the summer 

 of 1922. 



DENTAL WORK. 



Dr. D. L. Roland, employed by the bureau as dentist for the 

 natives, arrived at St. Pauf Island August 4, 1921, and was con- 

 tinuously engaged in professional work there until May 13, 1922, 

 when he left for St. George Island, arriving there Mav 14. He left 

 the latter station for the States June 18. A large amount of the 

 more necessary work was accomplished, but much remained to be 

 done. It is hoped that in the future the bureau will be able to send 

 a dentist to the islands for temporary duty on alternate years at 

 least. 



SCHOOLS. 



St. Paid Island. — The school term of 1921-22 opened September 

 12 and closed about May 1. The senior school began with an enroll- 

 ment of 13 boys and 13 girls. The pupils were divided into six 

 classes, and individual instruction was given as far as possible. The 

 course of instruction was similar to that of previous years. Par- 

 ticular emphasis was placed on the use of English. Attention was 

 given to the subject of personal hygiene, and the dentist temporarily 

 at the station through the winter gave weekly instruction in the care 

 of the teeth and inaugurated tooth-brush drills. At the junior school 

 30 pupils were in attendance, their ages ranging from 5 to 10 years.
