aiREAU CHIEF TELLS OF
EDUCATIONAL .WORK, YUKON
AND KUSKOKWIM DISTRICTS
(Fairbanks News-Miner:)
Returning from Seattle, .where he j
was called to confer with- other offi
cials of the B’icevu. .Clark; M. Garber, I
superintendent of. the western district
of the Alaska, ' ranch of the. United
States Bureau of Education, arrived
at Fairbanks .yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Garner is returning to Akiak
via Seward, and Fairbanks in order to
look over Bureau activities along
;he railroad belt and the Tanana and
Yukon rivers.
A stay of two weeks is scheduled
tf. Mountain Village, where the Bu
reau is going to have a 16-bed hos
pital built. Mr. Garber will remain
there about two weeks while the
*ork is getting under way. Quarters'
for the resident physician and sur
<geon, nurse, orderly and cook will be
Pf-ovided within the hospital building, i
The new hospital will serve a pop
ulation of approximately 2,000 per-j
sons o nthe lower Yukon, who here*- j
tOfore have been without medical
service. If residents of the district
hid it necessary to. secure, medical at .
tention now they must go either to i
Nome or Tanana or across the Yukon-:
Kuskokwim portage to- AJtiak. The
’hospital will cost in ,the neighborhood
rf .$40,000, said Mr. .Garber.
It is. planned, to . erect four new,
sell op 1 buildings- on’.the Kuskokwim
this year, he added. They will be lo
cated at Quinhagak; Ahiachak, Tulik
sak and Sleitmute;. The schools at

Tuliksak and Ahiachak will serve dis-1
tricts where, educational facilities
have not been available previously.'
Those at Sleitmute and Quinhagak
will replace old buildings. One hun
dred or more pupils will be enrolled
in the new schools.
“On the west coast between the
mouths of the Yukon and Kusko-!
kwim,’’ Mr. Garber said, “the people
are probably the most primitive in1
the world. Their condition is not gen- j
erally known to the public because it
is only infrequently that white men!
trtve' throcgh there. They have noj
educational or medical facilities and j
are in sore need of both. They need \
14 schools at least. The two new ones I
we are building this summer will [
serve part of that country. They are
going to be built at places where the
largest number of pupils can be enrj
rolled. In all, there .are .prohably 800!
children in the district who have no'
means of acquiring education.”
The request for. funds to build ■
these needed schools, Mr. Garber addr!
ed, is now in the hands of the budget i
committee of Congress, and “arranger i
nmnts will be made to build the!
schools just as soon as appropriations I
are provided.’’.
This is Mr. Garber’s fourth year,
at Akiak. Before going there he was
at Cape Prince of Wales for three
years. Before going to Akiak he held
the chair of biology at Capitol Uni
versity, Columbus, Ohio.
The building program for the fu
ture, said Mr. Garber, calls for i
schools at Nicoli. on the upper Kus
kowim, Cheechingamute, Kapenuk, j
Kwiguk, Nunapitsaok and Choquaak- i
loti, all in the western coastal dis
trict, and Tukchuk, Chogamute and
Holikachaket, an the Yukon.

Plans are also under consideration r
to provide medical'relief for the Me-r
Grath area by stationing a traveling;
doctor or nurse there.
