MR.. STEMS ARCTIC PROJECT.
The AnthrOpOl0gical Society Endorses
It-EskimOs I'm Ellesmere Land.

The Anthropological Society Indorses
It-Eskimos in Ellesnere Land.
A committee Of the Anthropological So
ciety has submitted the following report
which has been adopted by the council:
Whereas a systematic exploration of
Ellesmere Land is projected for the coming
season, to be prosecuted in a feasible way
and always within easy reach Of a base of
supplies; and
Whereas 1t is proposed in connection
with this exploration to study at least one
Eskimo tribe living on the western shore
white man: therefore.
Resolved; a. That the Anthropological
Society of Washington heartily indorses
both the exploration and the plan Of oper-
atoms now proposed by Mr.. Robert Stein
and set forth in his prospectus:
"(2) That the society recommend that a
skilled anthropologist be attached to the
exploring party. vino shall be instructed
by competent American anthropolOgtsts In
the methods Of research;
"GO That the society appropriate in aid Of
the exploration such sum as the officers for
the ensuing year may decide. not later than
the second Tuesday in February, to be
available for the purpose"
From Eskimo traditions and usages 1t is
inferred with tolerable certainty that Elles-
mere Land was for long time the prin-
cipal home of that interesting race, where
they developed their peculiar arts from the
lowest condition to their present remark
able perfection, and that from that land as
a center they dispersed in comparatively
recent times to the northeast, east and
south. The few points Of Ellesmere Land
that have been touched were found perfect
ly studded with Eskimo remains, mostly Of
very ancient date. The proposed expedi-
ton therefore promises to throw most i'm
portant light on the history Of this race
