llie Poit Daiwin natives were ne.xt the 

 subject of the Professor's observations. 

 It would, ho said, be a great pity to 

 allow them to die out. They were able 

 to 'A'ork, and of them it could be safely 

 said that they had a future. Ho con- 

 cluded his verj- interesting account of his 

 f.Kperiences by describing his visit to 

 Melville Island. 



Mr. Alex. Morton, after alluding to 

 eome of the Professor's theories, said 

 that it was quite possible that he would 

 return to Hobart again, and deliver his 

 lecture in a more popular form to a 



mixed audience, and also to gchool 

 children. 



L»r. JJclany moved a vote of thanks to 

 the lecturer. There were two points 

 on which Dr. Klatsch had borne strong 

 testimony; one was the ill-treatment of 

 the natives by the whites; the other was 

 the admirable woik done amongst the 

 blacks by the missionaries of all denomi- 

 nations- 



The vote of thanks was carried by ac- 

 clamation. 



Dr. Klatsch, in returning thanks, sairl 

 his reason for desiring to deliver a popu- 

 lar lecture was that he was convinced 

 that the ill-treatment of the natives was 

 in the main the outcome of ignorance.
