HERE IS WHAT THE AMERICAN CHILDREN HAD TO KNOW IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL ABOUT THE ESKIMOS:

THE ESKIMOS 

The Eskimos live on the borders of the Arctic Ocean 
Their little villages are found on the and on the near by islands 

Fishing is their chief occupation 

They spear the fish or catch them by means of nets 

Sometimes they catch from one to two thousand fish in a single night L

THE FAMOUS AMERICAN ARCTIC EXPLORER IS

Mr Vilhjalmur Stefansson the arctic ex lorer has corrected many common oncerning the arctic regions and their inabitants Perhaps it would be helpful ite a few of these facts. 

Contrary to popular belief the Eskimos Do not live in ice or snow houses. Houses of now, Mr Stefansson says, are as rare Among the Eskimos as adobe houses are in The United States. 

In summer the Eskimos live in tents made of skin and in winter they live in huts or igloos. These igloos are constructed of large stones piled together and sodded with turf moss The entrance is a convenient height  and the Eskimo does not have to on his hands and knees to enter.

Mr Stefansson tells us further that the Eskimos do not live so far away as we imagine. Grenfell Mission he points out, is only half as far away from  the New York City Ireland is.

The climate of the arctic in the winter in the lowlands is not so cold as believed. During the short summer season the snow melts, and many small and plants grow luxuriantly  

The Eskimos dress in leather garments, not in fur. They prepare the leather them selves, and make the garments.

SUMMER IN THE ARCTIC 

The sun shines warm and very bright; 
It melts all the ice and snow. 
And along the brooks and rivulets 
The willows and rushes grow.

The ground is gay with buttercups; 

And dandelions there are too, 

Poppies bright and wild roses grow, 

With bluebells the slopes are blue.  

The butterflies and bumblebees 

Fly busily here and there; 

Mosquitoes. gnats. and big black flies 

Go buzzing through the air.

A warm breeze blows, and finches fly 

To willows that gently sway; 

For the arctic summer is warm and bright, 

Like a lovely April day.
