This might have been thought in ! some areas to be a thing of the 1 na-st but stens were now belne ' taken to definitely promote and encourage such activities as slate totem carving and basket weaving as pursuits that would be economically beneficial to the Indians. The commissioner spoke it the benefits which the Indians had under the Act such as free lands, tree education and general protection from interference and referred particular to the medical care which they were ac corded. "Although Indians continue ta dislike the restraint necessary for hospital treatment It is gra tifying to note the Increasing disposition on their part to take full advantage of the medical services made available to them by the department and the growing tendency to observe the ordinary rules of health In their homes," said Major MacKay. A very Important beginning had been made, said Major MacKay, for the effective control and treatment ot tuberculosis among Indians, particularly the young, in this province as Indicated by the opening three years ago of the Coqualeetza Indian Hospital with capacity ot up to 200 beds, the first unit of its kind In British Columbia.
