ESKIMO STUDENTS STRIVE. ...
FOR REINDEER DEGREE.
Seattle.—1GettiUK a college diploma
in animal husbandry is different. in
Eskimoland than it is. in the States,
where there are comfortable class
rooms,, fraternity houses and .social
luxuries.
Eskimo college l»o.vs working for.
the degree of Bachelor of Herders
must spend four years . in. the open
learning how to manage, a herd of
reindeer before they can be graduated.
But when they have triumphed.) oyer
open air and . class room hardships
they get with their certificates a leg
acy of fifty,reindeer with Uncle Ham’s j
compliments.
Education of the. natives as. herds
men was started in I U00. The previ
ous year i-very person -in-; three vil
lage- on . St. Lawrence .island, died of
starvation, due to a scarcity of wal
rus, seals and other..animals. The
government, seeking a new source of
food .supply, turned to reindeer..
Dr. Sheldon Jacksom general su
perintendent. of the Bureau, of Educa
tion in Alaska, succeeded in buying
10 deer in Siberia, after traveling
1,500 miles in that country. .He found
the Siberian .Eskimos superstitious
abouf selling. Later he .was able to,
buy 107 mpre, and at intervals for ten
years animals . were purchased and .
brought to. Alaska. . .*
Laplanders were imported to in
struct, the. Alaskan Eskimos in the
care of reindeer..
Congress appropriated the,needed
funds for .the ..educational, work,.pro- *
viding. $12,500." far .that, year,, Rein
deer have .multiplied and, have .proven
a valuable, food source.
