11. 'The Teaching of Anthropology in 

 the United States ' : George Grant Mac- 

 Curdy. 



Information relative to the teaching of 

 anthropology in our institutions of learn- 

 ing, collected at the request of the ' Com- 

 mittee on the Teaching of Anthropology in 

 America.' It was found upon investigation 

 that thirty-one universities and colleges 

 now offer instruction in anthropology. 

 They are : Beloit College, Beloit, Wis.; 

 Bellevue College, Bellevue, Nebr. ; Boston 

 University; Brown University ; Clark Uni- 

 versity; College of Physicians and Sur- 

 geons, Boston ; Columbia University ; Co- 

 lumbian University, Washington, D. C. ; 

 Creighton University, Omaha, Neb. ; Dart- 

 mouth ; Georgetown University, Washing- 

 ton, D. C; Harvard; National University, 

 Washington, D. C; New York University ; 

 Niagara University, Niagara County, N. 

 Y. ; Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. ; 

 Ohio State University, Columbus ; Univer- 

 sity of California ; University of Chicago ; 

 the Universities of Illinois, Indiana, Kan- 



sas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Penn. 

 sylvania, Vermont, and Wisconsin ; West- 

 ern Reserve University ; Willamette Uni- 

 versity, Salem, Oregon ; Yale University. 

 Of the thirty-one institutions offering an- 

 thropology, it is found to be an adjunct of 

 sociology in nine, of philosophy in five, of 

 psychology in three, of geology and zoology 

 in five, and of medicine in one ; while in 

 five instances it stands practically alone 

 and in three it is unclassified.

13. ' Analogy between Writing and 

 Speech ' : Robert Armstrong. 



(a) All alphabetic characters are anal- 

 ogous, in (1) material and in (2) function^ to 

 the voice elements. (6) Written or printed 

 letters have usually no analogy of character 

 to the sound elements they represent, (e) 

 Perfect analogy between graphic signs and 

 spoken sounds is not attainable. But in 

 proportion as alphabetic signs can be mod- 

 eled from the sound elements they respect- 

 ively represent, written or printed words 

 will approach spoken words in ciiaracter, 

 and hence, in facility, economy and all that 

 is desirable in written or printed words. 



Charts were used in illustration of the 

 subject.

15. ' The Problem of the Cliff Dwellers ' : 

 J. Walter Fewkes. 



A discussion of the relation of ancient 

 Cliff Dwellers to modern Pueblos, showing a 

 kinship in culture which does not, however, 

 imply a kinship of blood. There was at 

 least some kinship of blood. Some of the 

 cliff houses in the Canon de Chelly have 

 been inhabited in historic times. There is 

 a clan living now at Moki whose ancestors
