/ VII, the Indian Dances.
The Indian does not dance for the
enjoyment of IL, his games are MOI
PLAYED for fun; all his actions have
a deeply religious significance. Dr.
Edgar L. Hewett in his lecture today
on THE Methods of Archaeology,
drew the dividing line between those
eminent archaeologists like Schlle-
mann who are led into archaeological
research by written records, as was
Schiiemann by the Had, and those
original research workers who are
guided altogether by observation.
The man who sets out to find Ger
tain thing is apt to find 1t where ~
is looking for IL, even If 1t rs not
there, is at times the case even in
science. In passing. DR.. iewett paid
an eloquent tribute to his old teach
err and preceptor. Or. Naville, the
Egyptologist, whose discovery of tn.
tomb of Osiris at Abydos. has been
reported the past few months
Speaking of American Archaeology
Dr. Hewctt pointed out that there

Most brilliant was the lecture OF
DR.. Lawrence NJ. Larson al the uhl-
versity of Urbana, Urbana, lll' on
Modern English Political Problems.
The speaker devoted himself almost
entirely to Ireland. although also IN
cidentally to British imperialism. IL
was an address replete with humor,
wit, irony eloquence and wlthai u
,lumning and instructive. Some one
has wittily said: "The greatest ms
fortune that has ever befallen tne
United States was the failure OF the
potato crop in Ireland. pr Larson
did not go as far as that put cN-

THE speaker declared that prea'
Britain's desire to hold on to her col
onies that is Imperialism, IS the eaus'
of her taking part in the Preseh'
European war. In fact 1t was I'M
lperialism. and not Taxation without
Representation, that brought on 'he
American revolution. the lecture
was one that will make the foreign
news of the daily newspapers laf

the average reader.
