ELI C. FOSTER Prirzfipal Tulsa Central High School Appreciation of Indian Literature Leads To Understanding of the Race HE LITERATURE of the Indian is rich in folk stories, legends, and myths. The white man has tried to understand him through a study of his literature, but the mysteries of the Indian mind are still unsolved. He lived so close to nature and in his own way understood his environment so well that the white man, with all of his knowledge, is baffled when he attempts a true interpretation. The beautiful poetry which the Indian gave out in song long before he knew the art of writing stands today unexcelled. It came from the standards of education. His love of life he expressed in song and story as only one who had never been made conscious of the limitations of civiliza- tion could give voice to his feelings. One feels a tug at the heart strings when he considers that the Indian in his native environment is rapidly passing. It is especially fitting that the Tulsa Central High School, which has borrowed so much of its idealism from these first Americans, should preserve in its yearbook some of their literature and life. May the theme of this book be an inspiration to all who read it and cause them to seek earnestly for the things of the spirit. PAGE 25 I are I il
