George Fisher Chipman (18 January 1882 – 26 December 1935) was a Canadian journalist who edited the ''Grain Growers' Guide'' for many years. The paper was the official organ of the provincial grain growers' associations in the Canadian prairies, and became the mostly widely circulated farmers' paper in the region. ==Early years== George Fisher Chipman was born on 18 January 1882 in Nictaux West, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia. His parents were F. Miles Chipman and Annie S. Fisher. He attended the Middleton High School and the Nova Scotia Normal School, and in 1900 became a school teacher. In 1905 Chipman moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba and obtained a job as a reporter for the Manitoba Free Press. In 1909 an article by Chipman appeared in ''Canadian Magazine'' called "Winnipeg: The Melting Pot". Based on his experience teaching immigrant children in rural Alberta he expressed concern about immigration from the Ukraine, particularly when the newcomers were forced into ethnic enclaves in the city where they were out of touch with Canadian values and culture. While sympathetic to the immigrant's struggle, he saw the situation as one that would lead to crime, delinquency and corruption by both the immigrants and Canadians who exploited them. He thought that little could be done with the older immigrants, but it was essential to make efforts to assimilate their children as Canadians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Fisher Chipman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
