CoLumbus, EthnoloqfcaL Mfstake.

Discussion has lately been going on
over the misnaming of the aboriginal
tribes of America It hurts the tender
conscience of the ethnoiogists that they
should be called Indians" when they
have nothing TO do with India. and the
suggestion has been made that they be
called "Amerirds," a word to which
the chief objection is that it sounds re-
markably like ''tamarinds." 1t Is. more
over. a pathological hybrid OF dubious
Legitimacy. The New York Evening
Post" says that if 1t is necessary to
remind the scientific world that the
American Indian is not an Indian. he
might be called the ''Ameraborigina. - a
word which would be quite useful IN a
spelling test, but not elsewhere. The
upshot Of the whole thing will be that
the Indian viii continue to be an Indian,
in name and in nature.
