Encamped at “Wyndy Goal,” near Rochelle, N.Y., the summer seat of Ernest Thompson Seton, are seven tribes of Seton Indians, who have come from New York and New Jersey and Connecticut to spend the week with him, living Indian tepees, playing Indian games, and enjoying all kinds of outdoor sports which the aborigines used to enjoy on the same land a hundred years ago. Mr. Seton plays with the boys, giving them something to do, to think about and enjoy. He is the originator of methods which the Chautauqua and Y.M.C.A. are now adopting. Mr. Seton is only an ordinary medicine man of the Sinawo tribe, composed of his boy neighbours, but there are about 40.000 boys in the country who look up to him as their great chief. The reason he does not hold that title is because no national meeting has yet been held, but one is being planned, one delegate to be sent from each tribe. This gathering of the tribes is the largest yet held.
