As alter natives he suggested a director of Northern affairs with Deputy minister status or a government appointed commission such As that once employed in the North West territories.

Mcmaster and had told him what he intended to do. He at no time during the inter View suggested that my intended action was indiscreet or intimidating and in fact suggested other parts of the school program which in his opinion merited study and stated trustee Parker. Trustee Parker said that delegations who appeared before the school Board protesting the pro posed discontinuance of kindergartens spoke from emotion arid sentiment rather than from reason District association is afraid of what an informed rational Opin Ion might it seemed to be a Nice question he added whether Winnipeg Tea Chers were to be left the Freedom to express their own opinions or a whether All future questions must be directed to them through their Union organizers.
