Item description from seller

8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" A VG- copy. Light corner wear to wraps curling slightly. Ink marks to top and bottom of textblock. Pages are otherwise clean and tight. B&W Photographs. // 'Alex Lord, a pioneer inspector of rural British Columbia schools, shares in these recollections his experiences in a province barely out of the stage coach era. Travelling through vast northern territory, utilizing unreliable transportation and enduring climatic extremes, Lord became familiar with the aspirations of remote communities and their faith in the humanizing effects of tiny assisted schools. En route, he performed in resolute yet imaginative fashion the supervisory functions of a top government educator developing an educational philosophy of his own based on an understanding of the provincial geography, a reverence for citizenship, and a work ethic tuned to challenge and accomplishment.' -- publisher.
