during the Parliamentary session. The Lecture Committee is sincerely 
grateful to these speakers and hopes that this exemplification of public- 
spiritedness will be shared by other speakers in various parts of Canada 
when the opportunity presents itself for them to be associated in the edu- 
cational work of the Museum. 
For many years the Canadian Boy Scouts Association (Ottawa district) 
has provided ushers at the children's lectures on Saturday mornings. This 
assistance is very greatly appreciated by the Lecture Committee. The 
active participation of the Scouts in acting as ushers and assisting the Com- 
mittee enables the children to feel that they have a share in the program 
and in this way fosters in them a spirit of responsibility. With the same 
object in view, the Committee invited several children with particular talent 
to contribute vocal or instrumental solos before the commencement of some 
of the lectures. 
For the loan of motion picture films during the past year the Lecture 
Committee acknowledges the courtesy of the following institutions: 
National Parks of Canada, Department of the Interior; Development 
Branch, Canadian Pacific Railway; New Zealand Government; Canadian 
Government Motion Picture Bureau; Northwest Territories and Yukon 
Branch, Department of the Interior; Society for Visual Education Inc., 
Chicago, Illinois; Pinkney Films Service Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- 
vania; Fruit Branch, Department of Agriculture; Wholesome Films Ser- 
vice, Boston, Massachusetts; Cunard Steamship Company, Montreal; 
Australian Department of Trade and Commerce. 
The co-operation of the Ottawa Journal , the Ottawa Citizen, and Le 
Droit, is also very much appreciated. Bv providing space for reports of 
the lectures, and by editorial references, the local newspapers have given 
prominence to the lectures that has been a valuable factor in contributing 
to their success. 
The personnel of the Lecture Committee is: Harlan I. Smith (Chair- 
man), M. E. Wilson, Clyde L. Patch, and G. W. Richardson (Secretary). 
DIVISION OF ANTHROPOLOGY 
The activities of the staff were limited almost wholly to office work. 
Diamond Jenness remained at his office throughout the year, prepar- 
ing reports and attending to the usual inquiries and correspondence. 
The assembling of papers for the Anthropological Section of the Fifth 
Pacific Science Congress, postposed from 1932 to 1933, occupied a con- 
siderable part of his time. He superintended, also, the distribution of 
Dr. Ami's collection of archaeological material among .various Canadian 
museums, and acted in an advisory capacity on an interdepartmental 
Reindeer Committee. During the early summer he completed and pub- 
lished 11 Fifty Years of Archaeology in Canada ” (in Fifty Years’ Retrospect, 
1882-1932, Anniversary Volume, Royal Society of Canada, 1932). Later 
in the year he completed three reports for the museum, one on the “ Sekani 
Indians of British Columbia,” another on the “ Ojibwa Indians of Georgian 
Bay,” and a third on the “ Grammatical Structures of the Western Eskimo 
Dialects.” He is now* engaged in the preparation of a report on the 
“ Carrier Indians of British Columbia.”
