Principal Describes
Long Trip to Arctic
•
Members of Huron Men Teach-
ers' Federation took time out
From their regular duties recent-
ly to enjoy an entertaining and
educational recess in social fell-
owship.
A banquet in Hotel . Clinton,
was followed by en illustrated
talk on life in the Mackenzie
River District as actually ob-
served and lived by the speaker,
Harold Taylor, principal of Dash-
wood Public School,
I Mr. Taylor described in detail
his journey from Gael'erich to
Aklavik on the Arctic coast,
which required more than eight
weeks to complete. The trip from
Edmonton north into the Lake
Athabaska and Great Slave Lake
area and down the Mackenzie
River to Akiavik, was filled with
new scenery, changed customs
and exciting experiences.
The inhabitants were largely
Indian and Eskimo traders who',
were subject to the rule of the
Hudson's Bay Company and the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police.,
The former had the monopoly of
trade, which, Mr. Taylor stated:
compelled the underprivileged.
groups to barter their fairs at rid-
iculously low prices.
The greatest death toll Among
the Eskimos, resulted from tuber-
culosis, since having very little
resistance to this disease they
readily "contracted it from the
"white mann". One hospital at
Aklavik was inadequate to pro-
vide the necessary medical assis-
tance. Besides, the "white men"
got the preference, to the detri-
ment of the Eskimo,
Mr. Taylor explained that the
pending new Indian legislation
was long past clue, since in his
opinion these neglected tribes
had legitimate grievances.
After the address, Harold Hen-
ry, Wingham, a delegate to the
December session of the Federat-
ion at Toronto, presented his re-
port on the educational discus-
sions which he attended.
Misses Marlene Wagner, and
Katherine Kalbfleisch, Zurich,
entertained with piano selections
and a dance.
Victor Dinnin, Zurich. chairman
of educational research, was in
charge of the program,
The members resolved to hold
another meeting in Clinton in the
last week of March.
