Sessional Papers Report on the Calgary Industrial School, Geo. H. Hogbin, Principal, vol. XXXIV, no. 11, 1900, Moral and Religious Training, p. 352: “Daily service is held morning and evening, at which all inmates of the institution are expected to be present. The usual Sunday services, such as in any country church, are held. [...] Our aim is to make them good Christian men, men of action, men of thought; we try to teach them habits of self-dependence, not to be always waiting to be told what to do, but to think for themselves, and we attempt to show them the beauty of a good life, well and usefully lived.” Inuit children who lived too far away and had to stay at school during the summer, Anglican Mission School, Aklavik, N.W.T., 1941 Photographer: M.
