Abstract
For people growing up in Newfoundland and Labrador in the latter half of this century, the life of Wilfred Grenfell presents ambiguities.Some have regarded the man as a benevolent if not a saintly figure, an instrument of improvement in the northern districts of the province, others as an outsider, one who deliberately ignored the colonial governments of the day and imposed his own ideas about the direction the population should take.There is substance in each of these notions.In the broadest terms, however, Grenfell was a politician, for although he began his career as the agent of a missionary society, his true field of endeavour lay in the politics of culture.From the time he set foot in Labrador, he was seized with the desire to reform it, and that desire governed his actions for the rest of his life.This book is primarily a study of Grenfell the man, not a history of a missionary institution.Its purpose is to reveal how an individual possessed of certain powers intervened to change patterns of living.In pursuing Grenfell's complex life, I have been fortunate to receive generous support.I first received travel funds while teaching at the University of Lethbridge, then a year's appointment as research associate at the Canadian-American Center, University of Maine at Orono.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
