enlightened of their children are only
just awaking to the fact that in for
getting those old spirituals or religious
songs they are allowing n priceless In
heritance to slip away from them.
The Indians. although not so prone to
despise that which is exclusively their
own. have been inclined to guard 1t
jealousy from the scrutiny OF the
white man.
$50 1t is that many of their tradl
tions. songs. customs and crafts have
been permanently lost. The present
day Indian undoubtedly owes his re-
tentive memory, his quick ear and his
fleet foot chiefly to the ancestors who
memorized the long stories and the de-
tail of the complex ceremonies and
whose strenuous physical training de-
veIoped suppleness and endurance.
Each race of mankind has Its own
peculiar riches. and each must con-
tribute something to the civilization Of
the world
The warlikc Zulu tribe of South
Africa has many customs and cere-
monies strikingy like those Of the
aboriginal American. The Zulu love
song, sung under similar restrictions,
conveys the same message, and the
war dance has not only similar steps,
but the same purpose of melting to
bravery and endurance. In slavery the
Negro lost entirely his love songs and
his war songs. In their place grew
up the labor songs. n few game and
dance songs and vast number and va
riety of spirituals or plantation songs.
