Canada -- Biography

=Anderson, James T. M., M.A., LL.B., D.Paed.=, Yorkton, Sask. One of the
many graduates of the Ontario “little red school-house” who have
achieved success in their chosen professions is Dr. James Thomas Milton
Anderson, M.A., LL.B., of Yorkton, Saskatchewan. Dr. Anderson, who has
won many scholastic honors, is at present inspector of schools for the
Yorkton district. Dr. Anderson was born at Fairbank, Ontario, July 23,
1878. His parents were Mary and James Anderson and the present inspector
of schools had all the advantages of early life on a farm. One must
consider it an advantage when one remembers the sons of farmers who have
gone to the top in scholastic circles. The subject of this sketch began
his education at Public School, S.S. No. 15, York, and went from there
to West Toronto Collegiate Institute. Going west he won his degree of
Bachelor of Arts at the University of Manitoba in 1911, when he was
Silver Medallist in Classics. He gained his LL.B. at the same university
in 1913, and his M.A. in 1914, completing his preparation for his
present work by graduating as Doctor of Pedagogy in 1917. Dr. Anderson
showed rare power of concentration in study as these three degrees were
obtained extra-murally and he is also a medallist in penmanship and a
clever cartoonist. His life for the last ten years has been devoted to
teaching and working among the foreigners who have come to Canada’s
great “melting pot.” Dr. Anderson is intensely interested in the work of
assimilation which means so much to Canada’s future as a nation. He has
published a number of articles on the subject and a book on the
“Education of the New-Canadian” (J. M. Dent & Sons, Toronto). Dr.
Anderson, whose mother resides in Saltcoats, Sask., was married on July
26, 1911, to Edith, daughter of Mrs. M. Redgwick, Grenfell,
Saskatchewan, and has two children: Byron R., born October 10, 1913, and
Edith Elaine, born March 31, 1917. In religion he is an Anglican, a
member of the Orange Order, and President of the School Inspectors’
Association of Saskatchewan.
