Still, with your maturity and judgment, you have already sensed the fact that the great school of out-of-doors is immediately demanding practical answers to many questions.

Find you may expect a reward, either material or spiritual which accom- panies sincerity of effort and devotion to a cause. May your theme, Indian Lore , help you to familiarize yourself quickly with the practical aspects of life. Then too, may we remind you that your understanding and appreciation of life will be enriched by the worthy friendships you make. The pleasant or unpleasant associations you make will depend upon your tact, judgment, and self-control. Thus, you should be both a practical and a sociable person.
