AWARD. 



A collection showing, first, the condition of the people in the extreme need of edu- 

 cation; second, the plan of the organization of public and private schools for the 

 Territory, extending to the most remote inhabitants of the Arctic regions; third, 

 schoolhouses and residences of the teachers; fourth, photographic views of pupils 

 showing their dress and habits; fifth, specimens of pupils' work showing excellent 

 merit; sixth, documents and photographs, wearing apparel and other articles of 

 use illustrative of the prolonged but successful effort to introduce reindeer from 

 Siberia and instruct the natives in their care and use as a source of food and cloth- 

 ing and a means of transportation by which it is hoped to save the people from the 

 starvation awaiting them as a result of the wasteful destruction of fish and game 

 since the introduction of firearms — a destruction so rapid that it has already swept 



villages from the face of the earth.
