BARRISTER

Canada's Singular Distinction

Montreal, Canada. Canada has produced the first full-blooded Red Indian barrister. His name is Mr. Norman Sayler of the Caughnawaga tribe, and he has just conducted his first case in the Superior Court here.

Mr. Saylor was 'n student al} the Universite de Montréal, Láv School and passed the finali examinations of the Quebec Bar Association with much distinc tion.

Caughnawaga tribesmen are noted for their industry and ability to climb to great heights in more ways than one. Many of them were employed as rivet- ters when New.
