Abstract
"Chinook is a jargon consisting of not more than three or four hundred words drawn from the French, English, Spanish, Indian and the fancy of the inventor. It was contrived by the Hudson's Bay company for the convenience of trade. It is easily acquired by the whites and has been a chief cause in preventing the Indians from learning to speak English. Its use by agents and employes should be objected to and under no circumstances should it be tolerated in the schools."
