Interview by Marjorie Robinson of J. Wendell MacLeod, former labourer-teacher with Frontier College during the summer of 1925. MacLeod recalls his work as a member of the "bull gang" unloading bricks and supplies and later as part of a timber gang at the Mond Nickel Company's Frood mining camp near Sudbury, Ontario. Also recalled are the working and living conditions at the camp where the mainly immigrant work force was housed in bunkhouses and was paid three dollars a day before meal deductions. Using a spare bunkhouse as his makeshift classroom, MacLeod taught a few interested labourers the rudiments of English and mathematics and initiated informal discussions on economics, elementary physics, physiology and other subjects. Other topics covered in the interview are: MacLeod's impression of Alfred Fitzpatrick, founder of Frontier College, and Dr. Edmund Bradwin, former principal of the College; the transient lifestyle of the camp labourers; and MacLeod's long-time association with Norman Bethune, another former labourer-teacher of Frontier College.
