PIONEERS LEGENDS

The pioneers in this country, as they learned of the vast expanse of territory beyond their settlements on the Atlantic Coast, became imbued with the idea that Indians swarmed in countless hordes over the enormous stretches of forest and plain. Natural ly. the legendary lore of an immense Indian population during colonial days became the general belief of succeed ing generations. and is the prevalent opinion today. But, according to Sells, neither exact knowledge nor reason able deduction sustains this vidrly-cx- istent belief
 The first Federal census of the In. dian population, taken in 1859, was largely an estimate and is supposed to have included many Mcxlcans and aliens residing in Indian country at the time, in view of the fact that the census of ten years later showed de crease of approximately l5O.O0o In dians.
 The Indian population of the United States in 1910 was 3O4,95O, and in 1920 it was 33G.3&7. an increase in the dec ade of 31,3S7. The only year in this period in which the Indian population failed to record an increase was the year of the Spanish influenza epidemic This, in the opinion of Sells, k con elusive evidence that the American h. dians are far from the brink of total extinction.
 ABSORB WHITE MANS CUSTOMS
 When the white man came to this country the Indian was an untamcd. uncivilized savage Gradually. as the white men increased in numbers in the newly-discovered continent. resultant ly expanding throughout the country the Indians were thrown into constant contact with the new civilization

Cato Sells, in Charge of In dian Affairs Under Wilson
 Administration, Says Popu-
 lation Showed Increase of More Than 3O,O0O in 1920

WASHINGTON, Dec. ,. The American Indians are not a decadent race. but on the contrary, are a grow ing people, with a promising future, according to the opinion of Cato Sells, Commissioner of Indian Affairs during the Wilson Administration
 The prevailing belief that the Ameri. can Indians are steadily declining in number is described by the former commissioner as "fallacy" The mis- conception that the American Indians are in imminent danger of extinction is probably based upon the opinion that in pre-Colonial days the native population was much greater than at present AS matter of fact i has never been authcuticalIy determined just how many Indians were u this country at the time of the coming of the white man. and the most general ly-accoptcd figures are merely ost- mates.
 The Indian population at one time was apparently diminishing; 8, an other time it was fixed; but i, has never been dccadcnt," Sells declares.
 Active imagination and adventurous spirit characterized the age in which America was discovered. It was an age of eyapgpratiOu when information grew out of fancy as we'll as fact.
