Mrs. Robert E. Lowrie '
Danish Explorer Says
Eskimos Thrive Un
der American Meth od s
Copenhagen —American methods of
treating and caring for the Eskimos
were urged upon Denmark by Dr.
Knud Hasmusseo, the Danish explorer,
in a rerent leciure here before the
upper and lower houses of parliament.
Dr. Rasasussea has just returned to
Denmark after an exhaustive survey of
Eskimo-life in Greenland, Canada and
Alaska.
A merican Eskimos, the explorer said,
were better educatep than those living
in Canada or Greenland, spoke good
English, and in every way demonstrat
ed their ability to meet thu white man
on bis own ground.
"Tbe Americans are absolutely rieht
in their viewpoint.” the speaker said,
“that as soon as a primitive race has
made eveu the slightest acquaintance
with civilization, even in its crudest
form, it is impossible to preserve the
primitivity of such a race. It is then
far better to make these men and
woraoo into ordinary American citi
zens, with the citizens’-privileges and
duties.”
Dr. Rasmussen declared that the im
portance of the work of the American
bureau of educat ion, as represented by
the many schools for natives in Alaska,
Could never be over emphasised. Amer
ican school teachers, he said, not only
taught the natives the English lan
guage. but helped them in mwov oLher
wavs, such as in the establishment of
stores aDd the carryiog on of infant
welfare work. He criticised the policy
of the Daoish koverhmect -in attempt
ing to keep the Greenland Eskimos
away from anv cootact with the white
man, and pointed out that while the
Greenland Eskimo lived in a state of
primitive squalor, it was no strange
thing for the AlaskaD natives to own
