ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1920. 79 
The question of sending natives from the Pribilofs to Chemawa, then, becomes 
one of policy rather than one of doubt regarding the care they might receive 
while there. In the writer’s opinion it is not to the interest of the United States 
to send them 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. 
These funds are still on deposit with the Washington Loan & Trust 
Co., Washington, D. C., and draw interest at 3 per cent per annum, 
calculated on monthly balances.
