English: Walter E. Roth
ROTH, WALTER EDMUND (1861-1933), physician, anthropologist and protector of Aborigines, was born on 2 April 1861 in London, sixth child of Mathias Roth, physician (a naturalized Hungarian refugee), and his English wife Anna Maria, née Collins. Walter was educated initially in France and Germany and, like his brothers Henry Ling and Reuter Emerich, at University College School, London. Roth came to Australia in late 1887 and in 1889 taught at Brisbane Grammar School and Brisbane Technical College before becoming the first director of the South Australian School of Mines and Industries (1889-90). His interest in Aboriginal anthropology was firmly established by 1894.His distinguished monograph of 1897, Ethnological Studies Among North-West Central Queensland Aborigines, was the first of its kind in Australia and established his international reputation. In 1898 Roth was appointed as the first northern protector of Aboriginals under W. E. Parry-Okeden. Based at Cooktown, his main brief was to prevent the exploitation of Aborigines, particularly in employment and marriage. He was also responsible for the regulation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment in the bêche-de-mer industry. |
