Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton spoke in the Living Room of the Union last night on "The Message of the American Indian." In the course of his talk he discussed the boy scout movement in its relation to old Indian customs and methods. Declaring that the day of the old-fashioned Indian was past, Mr. Seton told of the ridiculous efforts of the missionaries who strove to turn the Indians from a religion which they themselves often believed.
