LESSONS BY RADIO
REMOTE AREAS OF CANADA ESKIMOS AND INDIANS OTTAWA, Nov. 29. Chak, the Canadian Army radio station at Aklavik, t is broadcasting a series of Canadian 'Broadcasting Corportion educational programmes for the benefit of schools and children for whom no schools are available in the Mackenzie district of the North-west Territories. There are many Eskimo and Indian children in this northern district who do not attend school because of the nomadic type of life followed by their parents. The Chak broadcasts will, therefore, not only assist teachers in existing schools, but may result in a desirable increased interest in education by native children who for various reasons are not attending school. Although cut off from the outside world in many ways, the majority of Eskimo families possess a radio receiver. Chak also broadcasts amateur shows, quiz programmes and church services, with new ideas and features being added as the service grows. The addition of tXe educational broadcasts is another step.
