gree upon metaphysical speculationi,
was then read by the Rev. Walter
Van Saun.
Examining the prevailing theories
on the causes of crime, Mr. Ralph
H.Ferris of the Department of Cor-
rections at Lansing revealed the dif-'
ficulties and differences faced by
criminologists. Prof. C. H. Langford
of the philosophy department here
concluded the program of the sec-
tion with a discussion of "The Na-
ture of Formal Proof."
Geology And Mineralogy
Stressing the need for new re-
search in geology, Prof. Thomas S.
Lvering of the geology department
yesterday pointed out the problem
of research in economic geology, es-
,pecially noting the need of study of
the precipitation of minerals and the
concentration of ore deposits.
Prof. Armand J. Eardley of the
geology department then presented
a report on geology textbooks; Dr.
R. A. Smith of the ,Department of
Conservation in Lansing talked on
waste in gas and oil and resultant
conservation acts passed in six states
and the new lake level control act
.of Michigan; Prof. George M. Eh-
lers of the geology department spoke
on a revision of E. A. Strong's types
of fossils from the Pointe Aux Gres
limestone of. Grand Rapids; Mr. .
F. Poindexter of the Department of
Conservation at Lansing discussed
the salt resources of the State of
Michigan and Prof. Maurice W. Sen-
stius of the geology department gave
an illustrated talk on the sediments
of western Lake Erie.
Landscape Architecture
Repeating again and again that
"nature left alone is always orderly,"
Mr. Roberts Mann of the Cook Coun-
ty Forest Preserve on the outskirts
of Chicago, explained the policies'
Involved in the design and admin-
istration of naturalistic areas adja-
cent to metropolitan centers. Quot-
ing "You can respect people if you
can give them parks they can re-
spect," Mr. Mann said that no park
which looks like a couple of acres
of debris can earn the respect of
the public.
Also speaking at the section meet-
ing was Mr. Conrad Wirth of the
.National Park Service who discussed
the "Future of National Parks." Oth-
er topics considered were "Highway
Roadside Development," "County and
City Parks," "Private Landscape
Practice" and a description of aerial
reconaissance of landscape architec-
ture in 'Georgia and Florida con-
ducted in 1940.

botanical, historical and speculative
insight into the affairs of the Phil-
ippines.
The new genus-rizalia (palmae)
-has been named after a great
Philippine author and scientist, he
said. This man, writing under Span-
ish rule after returning from studies
in Europe, incurred governmental
disfavor after the publication of two
of his novels. This disfavor, Profes-
sor Bartlett related, meant his exe-
cution.
If he had only lived, Professor
Bartlett lamented, Philippine liter-
ature and science would have taken
great strides and those coming after
him would have been infused with
a spirit of research and culture.
Other speakers at this section's
meetings were Prof. Elzada U. Clo-
ver, Mr. E. B. Mains and Miss Lois
Joer, all of the botany department
here.
Anthropology
"If the average American tourist
were to understand the humor of
the Pueblo Indians-their satire,
burlesque and clowning-his taci-
turnity toward the Indians would be
dispelled," Prof. Leslie A. White of
the anthropology department pointed
out yesterday.
Revealing that government Indian
agents, tourists and priests are cle-
verly burlesqued. by the more dra-
matic Pueblos, Prof. White indicated
that practical jokes are rare "for no
closely- ;nit society like the Pueblos
could withstand the internal squab-
bling which is likely to result from
such humor." He added that except
for those copied from the white man,
puns are unheard of, because the
language of the Pueblos does not
lend itself to that type of humor.
The story of a Hopi Indian boy's
alleged visit to the land of the dead
and his return was related by Prof.
Mischa Titiev of the anthropology
department .here.
Prof. Norman D. Humphry, of
'Wayne .University, describing the
general: changes in manner of living
of the American Indians .since their
removal to reservations, noted the
tendency of the Indian to center his
activities about, his quest for food,
protection of land and the upholding
of supernatural powers.
-Phonetic changes and the develop-
ment of the Indian languages were
then }.discussed by Prof. Carl F.
Voegelin of DePauw University; Dr.'
Hirsch Hootkins of the French de-
partment . and Dr. Frank Ryder of
the German -department here.
Michigan Folklore
At. yesterday's meeting of the
Michigan:Folklore Group held in the
Rackham Building was featured by a
symposium on folklore materials and
techniques of collecting.
A, highlight of the meeting was the
playing of folksong recordings.
