INVOLVEMENT? The letter reproduced on this page is a portion of a greeting forwarded on December 2, 1969, to the Editor of the Magister. The author of the letter is a 1969 graduate of Teachers' College, Windsor. Mr. Brough- ton signed a contract with the Department of Indian Affairs to practice his profession in Canada's Northland and was posted to Fort Alexander in Manitoba where he is presently teaching. Fort Alexander, Manitoba, December 2, 1969. I can picture 20 eager faces, the faces of my Indian students. They are eager to learn, to play, to help. Most are exuberant in both work and play. They range in age from six to ten. They are not all fashion-plates either, but even little Marlene, dirty dress and worn-out sneakers, would warm your heart. Some are shy while others are quite open and clowning. Their favourite occupation is drawing or writing. Numbers come harder but they drill each other with little or no help from Teacher . My Grade 2's would hardly compare with most in Windsor. Seasonal labor, summer and fall, steals valuable time from learning facts. However, they are learning life. Their hope lies in a modified con- tinuous progress programme. Hall-Dennis is very in out here. Most people attend regularly but two in my class have less than five days of a possible fifty. Six missed more than fourteen of seventeen days this month. Despite all difficulties, I'll keep my Indian children. My heart goes out to them as, noses scrunched up, they ponder the next problem Teacher comes up with, whether it is how to run the record player or to add nine to six. l'm proud of them and they look up to me. I-low satisfied can one be? I say very ! Good luck from Grade Two at Fort Alexander, and from their Teach- er , Mr. Broughton. Yours for better education, Terry Broughton 97
