Clean Platters
NE member of our party set himself to train three young Eskimos as domestic servants. By waiting upon them at table himself for several days he taught them that curious rite," said J. M. Scott, in a BBC talk, "As the Eskimo Sees Us." "But he could not persuade them to wash dirty plates. At last he threatened the worst fate of all -that they would be sent away-if the plates were not clean at the next- meal, They were clean, all right. The Eskimos gave them to the dogs to lick."
