The resolutions of more particular interest to Australia have been 
selected, and appear below. : 
In connexion with the promotion of Education, the Conference 
resolved— ele i 
1. That in order that young men may enter upon scientific careers 
without sacrificing all hope of reasonable financial returns, the 
eompensation for instruction and for research in science be increased 
so that all can at least be assured of a comfortable living for them- 
selves and their families, and that men of exceptional attainments 
may receive financial rewards which shall approximate those which 
their powers could command if directed to commercial ends. 
2. That persistent efforts be made to inform the public of the 
progress of science, and of its bearing upon the practical affairs of 
life. _ , } 
3. That, to enlarge the experience and vision of the instructors in 
the various colleges and universities of the Pacific countries, making 
them thereby more competent and inspiring teachers, the exchange 
of teachers between institutions in different countries to be encou- 
raged and made possible. ; 
4. That a clearing house of information relative to opportunities 
for scientific study and research in the Pacific area be established. 
5. That arrangements be perfected between the universities and 
other research institutions whereby properly qualified students may 
move from institution to institution, carrying on their work at the 
place or places where the best facilities are available for the special 
kind of work upon which each may be engaged. 
6. That a considerable number of fellowships be provided, with 
adequate stipends, which shall be looked upon as compensation for 
the faithful performance of scientific work, and that especially able 
work by young inyestigators be rewarded by substantial prizes. 
7. That to stimulate interest in the Pacific, and inculcate a 
knowledge of its importance and unity, text books should be pre+ 
pared in which proper emphasis will be placed upon the Pacific 
area, its physical features, peoples, fauna, flora, resources, and trade, 
and that the schools in the Pacific countries be encouraged to give 
instruction which will stimulate the interest and enthusiasm of - 
young students in the objects and phenomena of their environ-

In connexion with Anthropology, it was decided to reecommend— 
That the most prompt and efficient steps be taken to record the 
data necessary to the understanding of man’s development in the 
Pacific area; also 
The creation of centres for the study of anthropology and 
original research therein, such centres to be developed by © 
‘the expansion of university departments or the alliance of univer- 
sities with other research institutions, with the result that these 
schools of anthropology shall combine all the essential features of 
a museum, a research staff, and a graduate school. And, further, 
because of the peculiar conditions under which anthropological data 
must be gathered, necessitating both intensive field work in circum- 
scribed areas extending over several years, and intensive synthetic
