(A Letter to the Editor) IT was with interest that I read in the June issue your “editorial note” on the articles by Rev. R. Inselman. I was glad to see your reference to the work of Mr. J. L. Taylor, ADO.
Having been a missionary in New Guinea for many years, I had good op portunity to watch the administration operating on the coast and inland. I have yet to meet a missionary with greater concern for the welfare and uplift of the native than that of Mr. J. L. Tay lor. The same may be said of Mr. “Ted”
Taylor, DO. These two men are experi enced, and know their job completely, and if junior officers take them as their ex ample, there will be little to fear.. Some officers leave much to be desired; but we find misfits in all walks of life, even amongst missionaries.
With but few exceptions, it has been a pleasure to associate with Administration officers in New Guinea, and I have found them ready to co-operate. Although working in different spheres, officer and missionary have discussed ways and means to help the native, and I am sure that this method of working together is an essential factor in the white man’s attempt to be of heln to the New Guinea native.
I am, etc.,
S. H. Gander.
