Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Organization of Scientific Work of the General Government, Vol. 2: Additional Statements Mr. Colonna states, confirming my previous estimate to the Commis sion, that such topography would cost at least 0 100 per square mile. The area of the United States, including Alaska, is three and a half million square miles, and a map of the United States constructed on such a plan would therefore cost 0350, 000, 000. These bare statements show that it would be utterly unwise to attempt such an enterprise. Again, if the map were constructed on such a scale, its utility to the people would be very little, because of its unwieldy proportions. Four hundred thousand sheets would be required for such a map, and the atlas would be a library of large folio volumes. Again, I think I have clearly shown that the topographic system adopted, because of the amount of cultural features presented thereon, would speedily become obsolete, so that every few years a resurvey would become necessary, and the maintenance of such a map would cost many millions of dollars annually. Again, I think that I have shown to the Commission that the features usually shown upon the coast charts are not such as should be shown upon a map of the interior; that the cultural features should be largely omitted, and that the natural features should be more clearly delineated in order that the map may serve the best purposes. Again, I have shown to the Commission that the scale for the interior map adopted by the Geological Survey is substantially the same, or nearly the same, as that adopted by other civilized countries; that the experience of all Europe, after the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars, has clearly demonstrated that maps of about the scale adopted in the United States are most useful and practicable. The scale in France for the general topographic map is 810 000; Great Britain, 1: 63 India, 1: 253 Germany, 1: Russia, 1: and so on. In the United States the scale is 1: for some parts of the country, 1: 125, 000 for other parts, and 1: for still other parts, the scale varying for reasons heretofore set forth.

Download or read book From Savage to Negro written by Lee D. Baker and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-11-23 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lee D. Baker explores what racial categories mean to the American public and how these meanings are reinforced by anthropology, popular culture, and the law. Focusing on the period between two landmark Supreme Court decisions—Plessy v. Ferguson (the so-called "separate but equal" doctrine established in 1896) and Brown v. Board of Education (the public school desegregation decision of 1954)—Baker shows how racial categories change over time. Baker paints a vivid picture of the relationships between specific African American and white scholars, who orchestrated a paradigm shift within the social sciences from ideas based on Social Darwinism to those based on cultural relativism. He demonstrates that the greatest impact on the way the law codifies racial differences has been made by organizations such as the NAACP, which skillfully appropriated the new social science to exploit the politics of the Cold War.
