For folks getting a day off it is important to spend 20-30 minutes remembering what happened.

. In the summer of 1957, R. F. Davey asked H. B. Rodine, the Saskatchewan inspector of schools, to investigate concerns about the principal at the Gordon’s school in Saskatchewan. He was alleged to have shaved off the hair of two girls who had run away, punished one girl so severely that she needed hospitalization, and bullied students.120 Rodine discovered that the principal had resigned and booked passage to England. While heads had not been shaved, the hair of runaway girls had been very closely cropped in previous years. On the advice of local Indian agent W. J. D. Kerley, the principal had discontinued the practice. It also appeared that a girl had been hospitalized a year earlier, apparently as the result of punishment. Although Inspector Rodine found it difficult to obtain details, he concluded that “the general impression conveyed was that certainly bullying is quite prevalent.” All but one member of the previous year’s staff had quit in frustration, due to what Rodine described as the principal’s “overbearing attitude.”
