Wild Land Of Baraea County Being
Settled Rapidly.

]. H. Jasberg, colonization agent for
the South Shore railroad and the Wor-
cester Lumber Company of Chassell,
has returned to Hancock from trip to
Baraga county where he has succeeded
in locating a number of Finnish people
on tracts of land west of the village of
Baraga and in the Pelkie district.
Mr.. Jasberg is firm believer in ag-
ricultural pursuits and has during the
past few years induced many of his
countrymen to take farming land in the
upper peninsula. 1t is his belief that
no other form of labor is so conducive
to the upbuilding of the country.
''The man who goes to farming may
be reasonably assured that he will re-
main at this work for number of
years to come" says Mr.. Jasberg. I'm
other work he has position for a
week, month or maybe year and at
the expiration he may find himself
without position.
II cite the instance of factories and
such like. They may be in operation
for a number of years but suddenly
cease operations. Then the laboner is
thrown out of work and the plant may
never resume operations, With farm
ing it is entirely different because the
people must live and as long as the
farmer continues to raise crops for the
market, he is sure of living.
Farming outside the cities of st.
Paul and Minneapolis is what has made
those cities what they are today. Du-
luth has excellent railroad facilities and
is located so that transportation by
water gives its splendid advantages but
it never will be the city either of the
others is.
Mr.. Jasberg devotes his time mostly
to securing Finnish people to take tc
farming and so far has been successful.
Land is rapidly being taken up in the
upper peninsula for farm purposes and
in few years, he thinks. it will be the
making of many towns.

0sY0s0s00so0cQ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I
ORIGIN OF THE FILIPINO


fessor Dixon of Harvard has spent
more than ten years in most careful
comparative study of the whole Malay
Polynesian problem, and to him owe
the greatest debt.
Because of the largeness of the field
and the limited time at our disposal,
shall have to discuss some subjects
in an altogether too general way, but
anyone who may be interested is wei
come to remain after the talk and ask
questions to his hearts content.
Historical Records.
Actual historical records as far
back as they exist, are of course the
most important and reliable sources
of information regarding the origin
and history of people; but the his
torical records relating TO particu-
lar people are often very limited and
cover only brief periods of time An
thropology has discovered another
method, however, of determining the
origin and history of a people that Is
entirely independent OF written rec
ords. The records are there; they
have been written by Nature-but her
hieroglyphics are not so easy to read
as those made by man. A connecting
link between the historical and the
anthropological methods, where they
shade into one another, is found in
the oral history preserved in myths,
songs, and legends of the past. In
studying a people by the anthropologic
method three factors must always be
considered which are, in order OF
their importance. physical type, gen
eral culture, and language. No study
is complete which does not take into
account all three factors one or two
alone is not sufficient. Language and
material culture are the factors most
subject to change, and yet much can
be learned from their study. Physl-
cal type and social culture are the
most permanent human characters
tics, and the most to be depended
upon in gathering data for anthropolo'
gic study. But ] wish to repeat that
no study of a people can be considered
complete, or based on sufficient data,
that does not take into consideration
all of the factors previously men
toned; and the conclusions then
reached should be further supported
by archaeological and historical data, in
every case where such data can be oh
tanned.
So much for the methods of deter
mining the origin, development and
history Of a people, Now let us come

Boyer, ethnologist, Bureau of Science,
before the University Extension lntis-
tute at the assembly hall of the Co.
lumbia Club Manila, p. l., on Wednes-
day evening, November -, 1911.
Saleeby's lecture of November I on
Origin of the Malayan Filipinos,"
value as an Independent stpudy, his
facts agree with and add something
to those already in my possession, but
in some of the conclusions that he
drew from those facts | believe that
he reasoned without sufficient data.
Most important thing, of course,
about a talk of this kind is Sources
of Information" AS yet can lay no
claim to much original work on the
general problem of MaIay-Polynesian
ethnology, but | have had the pleas
ure of studying under and reading the
works of most of the greatest Euro
peans and American anthropologists
who have devoted much thought to
this problem. And, after all, the com
parative anthropologists are really the
only men who can properly and i'm
partially Judge. We who are on the
ground look at everything from the
viewpoint of the particular people Or
peoples whom we are studyingg, and
with whom we are best acquainted.
We are gathering the facts on which
the comparative anthropologist bases
his studies, but we cannot expect tn
compete with him in his own field.
He has two great advantages over the
man in the field: first, he Is free from
local prejudice, and, second, he has at
his finger tips the work of hundreds
OF field workers, in all parts of his
chosen area, who look at the problem
from about as many different angles
as there are workers. Thus we see
! that the comparative anthrOpologist
only can weigh one fact against an
other, gather the wheat from chan
and properly judge of conclusions to
| be drawn from the facts arrayed be
fore him. So, what I shall have "a
say to you tonight has been largely
derived from personal study under a
few of the greatest investigators il

and Dixon of Harvard, Boas of Colum
bia and Chamberlain of Clark Uniyer
