Civilization Fatal to Eskimo.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic ex-
plorer, to whom the Charles P. DAILY
medal was presented by the American
Geographical society for his "valua-
BILE contributions to science" pleaded
that no efforts be made to civiIize the
Eskimo tribes of the far North All
such previous efforts, he stated, had
resulted disastrously for the natives.
One tribe of 5000 discovered in 1925
by an English explorer, he said, was
now reduced to only 40 persons
through adoption of civilized mode
of living, which was unsuitable for the
frigid cline.
