Report's on the administration of Togoland and the Cameroon.®, under the British mandate presented to the > League Council, contain a quantity of material of interest to anthropologists and students of natife life. In the course of the report on Togoland, emphasis is laid' on the principle that any policy which does not foster native institutions must, result in the detribalisation of the natives, and 'the destruction of all African atmosphere. Outside influences can quite easily destroy all tribal institutions and tradition. unless they are carefully fostered and grafted on to modern organisation.
