In the early 1940s, Morlander was transferred to Eklutna, Alaska, where he was the Superintendent of the ANS boarding school. After World War II, the school was moved to Seward and then to Mt. Edgecomb, Alaska. Morlander, suffering from a leg injury sustained while traveling by dog team, decided he preferred not to undergo more transfers.
