INDIANS AS CITIZENS THE DIRECTOR of Indian medical services for Canada, here from Ottawa, addressed a local service club yesterday on the work coming under his jurisdiction. The most interesting part of his address came when he digressed to discuss the relationship of the native to citizenship and the possibilities of his taking a fuller and more responsible part in the community. There is much in what Dr. Moore said with which we agree and which, in our humble way, we have ourselves at times advocated. It was interesting to hear the doctor sav, and if anyone knows from personal experience it should behimself , that there is no child "brighter or sweeter" than the Indian child, but somewhere along the way, he continued, something is being missed in the Indian policy that does not tend to develop that child into a responsible citizen. Dr. Moore, reasonably, made much of the point that it was the wrong policy to segregate the Indian. In other words, there should be acceptance of the natives an acceptance that would be much the easier if it started from the phase of childhood. There has been too much paternalism in the Indian policy of this country. There has been too much exploitation. As a result many of the Indians and it started probably somewhere in early childhood through the way he has been handled have acquired the worse things rather than the better things from association with the white man Hut, in spite of the white man and the weaknesses of Indian policy, Dr. Moore trulv enough pointed out that there have been Indians w ho have made good and become just as fine and responsible citizens as any white man. Unfortunately how- el-!)uma,ny have fallen alon tne wayside from cnnclnood. ; As the doctor suggested, the question of the In CONSTIUTTIi ALTEKATIO Daily news Classified Ads get Quick Results?
