To these Auxiliaries the Church is greatly indebted for the widespread interest which has been created in the Mission cause generally, and which is being kept u[( by means of the numerous Bran- ches which the Auxiliaries have established in the Parishes and Missions of the various eastern Dioceses. This being the case, it was felt that the Auxiliaries were greatly hindered in their work for want of reliable and detailed information in regard to the number and extent of the mission work and schools in these distant Dioceses, as it was from them that they were constantly receiving pressing applications for aid in money, clothing, etc. It was considered desirable, therefore, to obtain such information of this kind as was j)ossible, and to })ublish it for the \ise of the Women's Auxiliavics gpinerally. The Woman's Auxiliary of the Diocese of Toronto has taken the initiative in this matter ; and it is due to their enterprise and liberality that this Hand Book has been published. It should, however, be borne in mind that the Auxiliary is in no degree responsible for any of the statements or opinions which I have made or ♦'xpressed in this Hand Book, especially those on page 10. To obtain the necessary information for the Hand Book has been a troublesome and difficult task. Asa rule, there has been apparently a want of appreciation in some of the North- West Dioceses of the object aimed at by such a j)ublication ; and that indifference has been shown by n)any of those whom it was sujtposcHl would naturally have been most interested in si/oh a work as this and in its object. 4 PIJEFATORY NOTK. ■04 I have rarely been able to get much more than a mere list of the Clergy and other Avorkers in the Mission Field, and in a few of the Schools. And even that has been sent without a word of coniniendatiou of the object aimed at, or of the efforts thus made to advance the cause of Missions in these far-off fields of labour. However, by the aid of extracts from the Report of tlie Indian Department at Ottawa, (and of the good offices of those in that Depart- ment, etc.*), and also from the Keports of the great Missionary Societies- in England, I have been enabled to get together a large amount of most valuable information in regard to the Mission* and the numerous Church of England Schools in the various Dioceses of the North- West. This information, being largely in detail, will, it is hoped, greatly aid the members of the Women's Auxiliaries in forming a just estimate of the comparative merits of the many claims made upon them for aid in pro- moting Mission Work in the Dioceses concerned, and in giving supple- mentary aid to the subsidized Church of England training institutions, day and b.iaiding schools for the Indians in the vast regions lying to- the west and north of this Pi-ovince. J. GEOROE HODGINS, ToiiONTO, 22nd Novembei-, 1893. In his letter to the Algonui Misdoiumj Xevs, of Novenilter 16th, the Bishop of Algoma closes with the following remarks : "(1) Desjnte church papers, missionary magazines, and jmlpit and platform addresses, the majority of the laity are still profoundly ignorant of the details of the Church's Missionary work, whether at home or abroad. " (2) The Clergy are directly responsible for their ignorance in so far as they fail to give their people this information, whether from neglect or because they fear that what may be contributed to some missionary object is so much lost to the Parish. "(3) The ' live ' Parishes all through the country are those that 'look not only on their own things, but also on the things of others*/ the ' dead ' Parishes are those that 'live unto themselves.' ¥j. A." The first paragraph of these remarks furnishes an excellent reason for the publication of this Hand Book. The second might possibly be held to apply to those who have failed to sup})ly for it the necessary information asked for. J. O. H. Ch.\ ( 'ii \ Cii. I'll; -Cm; Cm Cii.

One of the principal objects which, I had hoped, would be accom- plished by the establishmont of a General Synod for the Dominion of Canada, was the supervision of the large sums which it was undei-stood, were being sent from various quarters yearly for the support of these missions and schools. In the tentative scheme for this General Synod, adopted at Winnipeg in 1890, it was agreed that two of the objects which should come within the jurisdiction of the proposed General Synod would be, as stated in section a, clauses : " (i) The missionary and educational woi'k of the Church." " (y) The education and training of candidates for holy ordei-s.'' Tiie Winnipeg scheme was adopted by the General Synod itself at its moeting in Toronto in September last, so far at least as these clauses were c;oncorne(l. The oiilv alteration made was the insm'tion of the word "general" i)efon.' tin; word •'missionary'' in clause (/>). In j)roposiiig the adoption of the Winnipeg scheme by the Toronto Synod in 1891, one of the reasons which I gave, and which was embodied in the resolution, (which was ndopted by the Synod), was that it would i»romote "greater econom}' and ethciency in the missionary and educational work of the Church." I had in view the large expendituie iu the North-Wcst for this two-fold object, when I proposed the resolution in question. No doubt each Diocese looks carefully after its own expemli- ture ; but the idea was thiit to a General Board would l)e • ntrusted the iluty of supervision and expenditure, so as to ensure eeononi\. Beyond appointing an Educational Committee, the (ieneral Synod did not, it nppears, agree upon, or even propose, any scheme, wherelty this supervision and economy might be secured and promoted. This is much to 1)0 regr(?tted, in view of the fact that demands upon tlie Dioceses in Eastern Canada for aid in support of these largely subsidized missions and schools are con(*tant, and nro incteaaing every year. Many even think that these constant (hMnamls interfere very much in lessening the subset i|ttio' s lor Home Mission work, llciice |irudenc«^ is desirable. CHURCH OF ENGLAND MISSIONS. 9.

As regards Boarding Schools, only two additional ones will be established — one at Medicine Hat, tlie other in the eastern part of the District of Saskatchewan."' The number of Industrial Institutions and Boarding Schools in Manitolja, British Columbia, and the North-West Territories which will shortly be in operation is as follows : — Manitoba 4 Industrial. 4 Boarding Schools. liritish Columbia 7 " 2 " " Noith-West Territories 5 " 20 " " 16 Industrial. 26 Boarding Schools. "As I'egards the Day Schools on Indian Reserves, »s has been repeatedly said, the circumstances incidental to their being established on Reserves of themselves make them a very innierfect means of educa- tion ; and the salaries which the Department finds itself able to offer are totally inddecpiate to induce well rpialitied and certificated teachers to undergo the hardships and deprivations ^^tendant upon tilling such posi- tions on the Indian Reserves. It is, therefore, only in cases where the amount paid by the Department is supplemented by a grant from the religious denomination, under whose ausjiices the school is conducted, that a )>ro[)erly certificMted teacher's services can be obtained ; and even then, it is with dilHculty, as no residences are pro\ided for the teachers. To meet this want there are, therefore, only two alternatives open to the teaclujr, neither of which can be regarded as pleasant, viz., either to lodge at an Indian house, or to occupy a portion of the school building as a residence, ''ithor of these modes of lodgment necessarily involves very cramped quarters, withiii the former, the additional discomfort of uncongenial surroiunlings, if nothing worse. "The Day Schools in the various Provinces, the District of Kee- watin, and the North- West Territories may be enumerated as follows : — "Manitoba (including Kcewatin) .... " North-West Territories (two of these are of the semi-bojirding type) .... 70 " liritish Columbia 13 r)0 Day Schools. 133 "The aggregate number of Indian Day Schools in the Dominion is 241. And it is a rfinarkablo fact that the best reports of attendance and progress are received from .siliools situated in those portions of the Dominion where Industrial Institutions and Hoarding Schools are in operation, tlie prospects of being considered tit for promotion to school* of a higher type, seeming to act as a Htimuhis to the pupils to excel." t 1 .^i' CHURCH OF ENGLAND MISSIONS. 15 ling Schools, ne Hsit, t]»e 2 Schools ill )s which will Of Schools. o t( ig Schools. »s has been y established ins of educa- e to offer arc I teachers to ng such posi- ses where the mt from the is conducted, d ; and even the teachers.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs at llegiua says : — '* Fair progress has been made throughout (the North- West) with regard to Education. The aggregate number of names on the rolls is somewhat less than for the preceditig year. This is in part due . . . to some extent to the gradual . . . substitution of Industi'ial and Boarding Schools at a distance from the lieserves for Day Schools on them. . . There has been an advance of one hundred and thirteen in the number of tlie aggregate average attendance. " The cost of pupils at Industrial Schools, wholly supported by the Go\'ernment, varies a good deal, the main causes being the comparative cost of laying down supplies and of securing the services of efficient employes at different points. I may remark in passing that to get suitable employes, more especially females, to go to points di.stant from railways, and to remain, is a matter of e.vtreme difficulty, and necessi- tates the offer of proportionate indncemeuts. "Striking an average between the four schools at Qu'Appelle, Battleford, High Kiver and Regina I'ospcctively it is found that the jyer capita cost of instructing, feeding and clothing each pupil has been $121.75f. •*It will thus be .seen that the cost of maintenance is considerablv leas than at kindred institutions in the United States, where a considerable proportion of the expenditure is understood to be defrayed by philan- thropic .societies, whereas the whole cost of our Industrial Schools })roper falls directly upon the Government. " The assistance given to Boarding Schools has been increased from an annual per capita grant of ^GO, to one of 15^72." The Inspector of Indian Agencies iu ^Manitoba says : — '* The increased interest in the education of their children, the gradual improvement in tlie construction and cleanliness of their dwel- ling-houses, and the enlargement and better cultivation of their gartlens are most encouraging indications of their intellectual and physical development. . . . " The condition of Indian Schools within this superintendency is pfi'ceptibly improving ; more capable teachers are employed ; the ser- vices of incom)«ctent ones are dispensed with, and more commodious school-houses are erecteon the feeling that the school and church are allied, and that it i.s adherence to the ' faith of their fathers ' which gives rise to unwilling- ness to send their children to the school-house, they believing, rightly or wrongly, that .school att<'n(lanc(! is a step towards conversion to the faith of that denomination which controls the school, and no doul)t such is the case, as the usefuliu»ss of schools in mission work goes to show. Church successes promote school attendances, and school attendance con- tril)utes to church success ; but jierhaps the alliance ])revents the educa tion of nnvay heathen children, who if ed\icated inider circumstances unobjectional)Ie to their jiarents might be evangelized in greater numbers anil at a greater rate.

The Visiting Indian Superintendent of British Columbia, in his Report, says : — *' In visiting tlie Indians throughout the province I was much pleased by the many signs of advancement to be seen, and by noticing to a great extent the increase of different industries amongst them, and the consequent comfort and contentment visible. " The Industrial Indian Schools established . . . continue to give the greatest satisfaction, and to promise the most favourable results in the future." India.v Life in the North- West — Past and Pijesext. In his Report on the " Pas Agency " the Agent thus graphically sketches " Indian Life — ^Past and Present," as he has observed it : — " Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, have each a time of interest to the Indian and those in communication with him. In days gone by, so long as he had plenty to eat and drink to-day, the enjoyment of the present hour was, as a rule, suflicient for him, rarely making provision for cases of emergency. And there is a tendency to this to the present day. I have often wondered, (and have frequently reminded the Indians of the fact), that they have not learned moi'e from the very squirrels, whose habitual forethought strikes the traveller as he journeys through the woods. But while leading a life of [>urely nomadic character, so long as he ])Ossessed his gun, fishing tackle and traps ; neither he nor his children were cultivated hi liabits of industiy or educated for future u.sefulness. No doubt there were exceptions ; but they pr( ve the rule. It is well indeed for the Indians that the Government ai)peared ui)on the .scene in time to show to them "a more excellent way " both hy precept and example ; for the unmiHtakaV)le signs of decline in their former mode of sub.sistence but show too plainly, tliat had not their great " Mother " the Queen adopted them as subjects of her Dominion, they would in all probability by this time liave greatly diminished in numV)ers from lack of sufficient food and clothing, and thrf)Ugh the ravaj^es of disnsisn. Tho ancient manner of Indian life-hunting is failing, and he should be grate- ful, (tintl some of them arc alive to the fact, and appreciate it), that there are put into his hand, I»y all tlu* various machinery now at work for his good, the means of sujiporting himself and those innnediately dependiait upon liitn, by tho exertions of his own hands, while his chiKlren have a free education for future callings. H(! is beginning to learn how to earn l)read by the sweat of his own brow. Not that encouragement iis given for the liunt entirely to cease ; but instructions are given in a variety of 18 HAND BOOK OF THE NORTH-WEST I/: ways to make an Indian see the advantage of using the golden days of summer, so aa to be prepared for the long months of winter. But this is not an easy task. Long days of toil, and anxious nights of thought, (yea, and at times anxious nights of toil), are not among the least efforts put forth to raise the tenacious descendants of the once savages of this country out of habits of improvidence, indolence and extravagance, to those of forethought, thrift and carefulness. Through nearly eighteen years' work among the Plain and Wood Indians I have found these among the hardest of temporal things to teach them. But I am per- suaded the Indian, by being gently but firmly led, has begun to walk alone, though like the child beginning to walk, he is not left alone, but walked, guided and supported. Stumble he does and sometimes falls, and that at very little things ; but these are only lessons taught by his own unwitting Primer, which when learned, teach him to take the advice of those who know better than himself. Thus he is gradually learning to live by his own exertions, though perhaps reluctanily parting with the " beggarly elements " of pa\)perism. He is no longer out of tlie way but on it, and I could jjoiut to instances where he knows it and is thankful for it." Schools op Various Kinds. The number of schools in Manitoba, British Columbia and the North- West reported by the Indian Department is 175, classified as follows ; — Industrial Schools 16 Boarding Schools 26 Day Schools 133 175 Of these seventy-seven are under the auspices of the Church of England — six of which are Industrial or Boarding Schools ; forty -eight are Iloiiiiin Catholic, twelve Industrial, etc. ; twenty Methodist, two Industrial, etc. ; thirteen Presbyterian, eight Industrial, etc. ; two \mdenominational. The cost to the Dominion Government of th*^ Di^y, Boarding and Industrial Schools in Manitoba, British Columbia and the North-West Territories was $154,174.12 in 1891-92. Of this sum, the cxixmditure has approximately been as follows : — Church of England Schools $53,693 Koman Catholic " 52,810 Presbyterian " 14,850 Methodist '« 12,804 "Undenominational " and Miscellaneous Expenses. . . . 20,018 $154,174 1 CHURCH OF ENGLAND MISSIONS. 19 ges of this ught by his bia and the classified as ■g O O H X ■s CJ .? i3D ^ « C5 ^ ^ ^ 1« o :^ U4 ^ 0) O ;z; rS H '>^ >5 -« M 'fSH a > o (« OS X .52 H o .a a :^ £ H P •^3 33 ^ ■n o ^ Q u > •^ O u M o -H ■*^ c« §• 1 6 § o o c o >» 3 :coooooocoooo . . -^ * -^ •.iN .i-t *** *r* .i-t .i-t '-N .I.H ..-I .iH '.^ ooooooooo • ^ .^ t,^ ,^ ^ .^^ o.^ .F^ .^ to o s s ■S E) S 3 - Pupils on the Roll. ?{ c. -N -js 1- 3: 'M i-s -^ =1 -< --s :^ t^ X r- •* c 'i' — CJ o XI >-< '-: « -^ CI — « — •ri (M 04 fCN "t d >?< -M w (ji 'M 'M cc -H •* firs ^ -1 *>" 2 « 4> — to 3 c ^ - ^ CBc'*::3-#: _ s Onto rt CI H z: >-S r,1 o C5 . w o l-i o . .

DIOCESE OF SELKIRK. This Diocese was set apart from the Mackenzie River Diocese in 1^91. It lies between that Diocese and the United States Territoi-y of Alaska, and directly north of the Diocese of Caledonia. Its name, the Bishop thinks, is from " Selig Kirche,'' or " Holy Church." Its Bishop was the former Bishop of the original Diocese of Mackenzie River. In a letter from him, dated the 21st of June, 1893, he saj's : — " By request of our Metropolitan, I send you a list of our Diocesan Clergy and Mission Agents. " Our Missionaries are not charged with other duties than those of preaching and evangelizing, and the Indian pastorate, together with the care of their Indian Schools; including, in some cases, a few boarders. " Mission Stations and Agents. " Bxixton Mission, Ui^ijcr Yukon River : The Right Reverend W. C. Bompas, D.D. ; Mrs. Bom pas, and a school-mistress.

"Proposed New Stations. — Stewart River, Salmon River and Herschel Island. Herschel Island is in ^[ackenzie Bay, and at the extreme north-west corner of the Diocese.'

DIOCESE OF MACKENZIE RIVER. This Diocese Avas formed out of Rupert's Land in 18G5, and separated from Athabasca, which lies to its south, in 1874. Selkirk was formed out of it in 1891, and is on the other, or western side of the Rockies from it. In a letter from the Bishop, dated from Fort Simpson in August, 1893, he said : — " The Metropolitan of Rupert's Land has forwarded to rae your request for the names and stations of all ^Missionaries, Cateehists, Teachers, etc., engaged in my Diocese.

'lo " Fort Simpson, my headipiarters, was the scene of my first labours in the mission field twenty-three years ago. On returning to it, after an absenc? of thirteen years, many changes are noticeable, and many memories, some sad, some pleasant, aie awakened. . . . The sta- tions in the two extremes of the Dioce.se are more than 1,100 miles apart, and the irest are nearly l!00 miles from each other. . . Fort Resolution, a Hudson Bay Con;pany's post, is on the south-east shore of Great Slave Lake. We have there a Mission Station and a Diocesan School [Xo. 35 on the list of Schools in the North-West Terri- tories]. The latter has been in existence only two years. Annual subscriptions of .£10 for the support of a school would be very thankfully received. . . . Fori Noriuan is a nicely-situated place .'500 milis north of this. . . . Our Indians here are not munerous, but the work amongst them has been encouraging on the whole. Before a missionarv was stationed here I used to visit them everv si)rini', and was often much cheered liy their readiness to learn. I trust Mr. and Mns. Hawskley will be spared to continue the good work carried on by Mr. Kirkby, Bishop Bom pas and others. A fort half-way between Forts Simpson and Norman is Fort Wrigley. . . . The Indians there an; wishful for a missionary, but I have no funds to place one there ; and, 1 fear, unless some one sends a substitute, we shall lose them all. From another party of our adherents, (the Trout Lake and Hay River Indians), there is the same crying need. Some years ago, when I spent several weeks amongst them in the woods, the}' gave me more <'nct)urag«'ment and .showed more eagerness to learn than anv other Indians I ever niught. They became adheri'nts, and remained loyal for years, but now thoy are beginning to leave us, because there is no one to visit them occasionally and teach them. It is sad to think that the work of years liere, (and at Fort Wi-igley), is being lost ami going to the benefit of the Romanists. But what <;an we «lo without men or means ? •• Peel's River is in tin; land of th*' Midnight Sun. To see the sun ,(L midnight you must arrive not later than the end of .1 iiin;. The ride thitber down the majestic .Mackenzie llivor would give you great jdeasure. Its immense extent ; its great width ; ' its long reaches,' some of them stretching far bey»)nd the horizon ; its high banks, the lofty hills, bare and barren, some of them hiding their heads in tlu; ilouds ; (he solitude, the stillnes.s, the doaith of animal life — all this is so dillerent from what it is in England. . . . Arriving at J'eel's Uiver, and receiving a warm gr.asp t»f the hand from the Indians and others, we are cheered to know that, whereas at nearly all the other posts Ivomanism is predominant, here the reverse is the case. Th(! V(>nerable Archd<'ai-on .Mac.Ionald has I.iboured long and faithfully amongst them, and has bt-t-n nnich bU-sscd in his lalioiii.s. He is now busily engaged in the work of translatit)n.

Besides the Indians, a con siderable numlier of Estjuimaux come hither to barter their furs. They are still heathen, and it is for their evangelization that Mi'. Strinsjer has nobly devoted himself.

The Boarding School has been mised the Rev. Mr. Tims, the Missionary in charge, that if another building were erected of the same size as that now in operation, it would be filled with their children, as soon as ready. This is most encouraging ; and we ho[»e that the friends of the Mission will do all they can towards providing the funds, viz., $2,200, for this purpose. "The old school-house, built in 1884 of logs and mud, is now too small as well as too dilapidated for further use. It is intended to build ■I larger and more suitable building this j-ear (18'J.S), which can be used as a Church and .school combined until such times as a proper Church edifice can be erected. It is hoped that one-half the cost of this ($400) will be met by the Indian Department, leaving $-100 to be collected from amongst the friends of the Mission. This is most urgent. ^^ JfissioH'iri/'-t h'cport.- — There has been one adult baptism during the past yeai', that of a young man who for some time had l)een a regular attendant at our sei'vice.s, and for a short time was at the IClklioi-n Industrial School. lie was very sick at the time of his Imptism, which took i)lace Im the Indian ho\ise he was occupying, lb recei\(Hl tlie name of Daniel.
