Norwegians Austrians. Mennonites, Gall
cians-aIl manner Of furtive folk and wild.
There are fifteen known languages In the
Winnipeg schools, and a lot too late to
classify. When you see a stranger you
cannot tell whether or not he Is within the
range Of human speech. You bitterly re-
fleet only that he is one of those who have
wiped out the old frontier lost 1t forever
