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.
