A Teacher's
We have -at certain times chastised
the teachers in our area for constant
higher wage demands which never
seem to reach a maximum.
Last week, though, we picked up this
little bit of philosophy about how tea-
chers earn their monthly salary . . .
and were impressed enough to want to
share it with our, readers to let them
form their own conclusions.
"What does a teacher do all day?"
"She's mother, father; warden, cler-
gyman, traffic controller, philosopher,
friend, psychologist. Maybe zookeeper
Some days, Teaehers don't mind. They

"Money sure. But what about a little
recognition? And a little understand-
ing?
"According to some people, the tea-
cher's job is to comfort the troubled,
and trouble the comfortable. And oth-
er people say she is supposed to under-
stand those not good at explaining, and
explain'to those not good at understand..
ing.
"What would it take to get you to
close yourself up in a room day after
day with 30 high-spirited youngsters?"

Nothing did more to shape the ski. Us,
habits and customs of Indiantribes
than the food their people ate.' in almoit
every tribe, a desire for regular sup-
plies of meat prompted the men to
strive for- excellence as hunters, trap-
pers or fishermen. But, depending on
local circumstances, different' tribes
had different ways, of keeping them-
selves fed : some tribes, predominantly
meat -eaters, were obliged to be mig-
rants, following their food supply as it
moved around on the ,hoof.. The-Chipe-
wyn Indians, for instance, kept con-
stantly on the move, following the 'cari-
bou around a region of the northland
east of the Mackenzie River. Similarly;
the Assiniboines roamed the southern
Canadian prairies on a continous hunt
for the. migratory buffalo. The 14lcmacrs
in the Maritimes spent their winters in •
the woods hunting mooae, caribou and
porcupine. In the warmer Months, 'they
lived at the , seashore, gathering shell-
fish, catching fish and hunting seals.
The Hurons and Iroqupis relied.niain-
ly on planted crops. They managed to
lead comparatively settled (though not
necessarily peaceful) lives. 'While they
roamed to some extent as hunters in
search of secondary food sources, they
maintained the same village sites year
after year. When they did move it was
usually because the soil around their
village was exhausted or because some

enemy had burnechtheir crops.
As hunters, trappers and fishermen,
the Indians lacked some of the equip-
ment and mobility. of the white man —
metal tools, firearms, and the wheel.
But when allowance was made for,
these disadvantages, the most skillful
Indians rated high' indeed in all three
pursuits. From childhood, the' Indian
boy became a shrewd student of nature,
at least in every way that might help
him in the hunt. By instruction and ob-
servation he soon grew to know the
habits, instincts and life cycles of every
species of game, Even without steel or
gunpowder, the Indians contrived sev-
eDl pieces .of hunting, trapping and
fishing equipment more ingenious than
anything invented in Europe.
Since the spear was generally inef-
fective against big game at large, herd
animals such as buffalo and deer were
usually driven into an enclosUre and
speared at close range. Sometimes ad-
vancing buffalo were killed by archers
lying hidden in a shallow pit. Occasion-
ally the hunters would stampede the
buffalo over a cliff 'and finieh off the
injured survivors below with spears or
clubs, In other regions caribou, moose
or deer were driven into streams or
inlets, where they were easily . speared
fromcanoes.

'TIMES HAVE CHANGED
I wonder what a teacher of
50 years ago would think if he
walked into a classroom today?
Personally, I think he'd be tot-
ed off in a state of deep shock.
Some aspects of the atmos-
phere would be familiar: the
box -like, claustrophobic con-
struction; the smell of chalk -
dust and bodies; the windows
that stick and won't open; the
scuffling•and the snuffling.
• And theplaceg be full
of kik of course. They'd prob-
ably be much the same, inside.
R1112/21T beings don't change
their - bailie emotions, their
hates, fears, shyness. and aggress
givene414. in a generation or two
if ever. tot they certainly
wouldn4 look the same.
The appearance of the hairs
would rattle hint a bit, with
their cowboy boots, their pol-
ka-dot shirts, their carefully
waved "hair, and their world,
weary expressions.
But, the sight of the girls
would- rock hinl right back on

his heels NeVer mind the lip-
stick, eye -shadow and net
stockings. He'd probably turn
pure puce the first time he
looked down, those rows of
niskirts, with the odd garter
Rt, t, in all its feminine loveli-
ne s, showing here and there.
Those wouldn't be the only
shocks he'd receive. Let's say
he taught in a school. wirli 300
students, half a century ago.
Quiet, droning perieds. Liesure-
ly one and a half hour lunch
aeri;id.
I'd like to see this chap step
o -at into the ha/I of a sehool
with 1500 inmates, during one
of the lunch pericids. Unaccus-
tomed to using his shoulders,
knees and elbows, he'd be a
grease spot on the terrazo floor
in two minutes.
If he did happen to make it,
he'd gulp his Itmeh in the caf-
eteria, with the—dlii of 406 stu-
dents as sauce for his wieners
and beans. Or he'd choke down
a sandwich in: the staff room,
`mid a litter of coffee cups, a
pall of smoke, and a cacophony
of fello* parctitioners of the
art. .. -
Checking his mail -box after
lunch, he'd fin' two memos
from the administration; a
pamphlet from the Department
of, Education, very badly writ-,
en; a note from the librarian
ening him that Susie Doakes'
ook was overdue; a brochure
rpm a Publisher; a billet-doux
ram the vice-principal; a bill i

nd, three announcements of t
onteats, all sponsored by tom- 1

probably not file these in th
waste -basket.

to teach with the raw materials
a book, a blackboard and som
students, he Would be interrup-

tem telling him to send Joe
Smutz to the office; by Jack
Diltz just.. arriving back from

four stalwarts leavli f�r the
junior footiball game.
During the day, he would'
discover that he was either a
dodo bird, extinct, or a 913Oe-
nix — that bird vihigh, reputed-
ly arises from its own ashes
and flies in everaliminis
circles until there is only one
place to go.
This would be occasioned by
the maze of eqUipment which
he would be forged to matter.
Itecordplayers, tape -recorders,
overhead projectors, underhand
deflectors, and the like.
And he would have, my ut-
most sympathy. I can drive a
car. Used to be able to fly an
airplane. Can ' run a washing
machine in a pinch. But lead'
me toward a duplicating ma-
chine, or anything more com-
plicated than a handi-cranked
gramophone, and I pale with
terror.
After school, our friend
would find that he would have
a committee meeting about
gum -chewing, or a staff meeti-
ng about pupils 'acting like
humans, or a thrilling hour with
