ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1920. 



79 



The question of sending natives from the Pribilofs to Ohemawa, then, becomes 

 one of policy rather than one of doubt regarding the care they might receive 

 wliile there. In the writer's opinion it is not to the interest of the United States 

 to send tliem to outside schools, and there is doubt that it adds to the ultimate 

 happiness of the individuals. * * * 



It is recommended that no more children be sent to the Chemawa school at 

 the instigation of the Bureau. 



SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. 



Certain of the Pribilof Islands natives have personal funds in the 

 custody of the United States Commissioner of Fisheries as trustee.
