SCIENCE RESEARCH
Three Year Program Pro-
vides for FeIIoWships and
Grants to Students.

To advance research in the human
istic sciences, the American Council OF
Learned Societies has adopted three
year program involving the expendi-
ture of 100000 in grants and fellow
ships, 1t was announced here yester-
day.
Grants ranging from $50 to $4,000
will be made TO scholars to assist in
the completion of definite pieces of
research. This money will be used to
defray the cost of materials, photo
graphs, clerical assistance and travel,
and generally to provide means of COM
pleting scholarly projects of various
kinds
In many cases the council will CO.
operate with libraries and universities
in financing scholarly undertakings. In
was explained, is continuing on a
larger scale policy which has been in
successful operation for some years.
"Of special interest in the projected
program" the announcement said, lis
the creation of a number of research
fellowships which will be awarded to
young scholars in the humanities who
have finished their graduate work and
desire to do further research in their
chosen fields"
Training Is Chief Aim.
Although the council expects that the
holders of these fellowships will make
real contributions to the study of the
humanities, its purpose is not so much
to produce scholarly works as to aid in
the training of scholars.
With this in mind the council has
decided ordinarily to award its fellow
ships to men not over IS years of age.
Fellows will be appointed for one year
on a stipend of $1,000, subject to ad-
justment in individual cases. with an
allowance for necessary travelling ex-
penses.
Both fellowships and grants will
cover a wide range of studies. includ-
ing philosophy, philology, literature,
linguistics. art and archaeology, musi-
cology. all branches of oriental studies,

thought, science, learning and the fine
arts. photography, diplomatic, chro-
nology, etc Applications will be re-

tive Offices of the council, GOT Fifteenth

by the National Research Council and
the Social Science Research Council in

clared.

THE POOR INDIAN
 IS WEIRDLY NAMED
Booker I. Washington Becomes George Washington's Son

Washington, Oct 11.-Onc of the things the representatives of the Great White Father in Washington have done to the Indians has been to take away their names
 Sometimes their names have been taken away altogether by half-wit- ted reservation clerks who subsji- tutod ridiculous names appealing to their sense of humor and sometimes they have been merely translated into English with results equally disgusting 10 EngIsh-spcaking h. dians with a sense Of dignity.
 It appears that the old Indian names were too much bother for the Indian bureau employees to spell or pronounce. So today thousands Of ed men have to exist with translated names which are a source of laughter to the or dinary white man. for these are their legal names and the only ones recognized by those who govern them.
