INTRODUCTION 



7i A'OST of our Indians have a tra- 

 JL VJL dition that in the days of old 

 animals and man had a common speech. 

 Each was able to understand the other, 

 and thoughts and language were common 

 to all. It was not until man began to 

 regard himself as superior to the animals 

 and think of them as " lower" that this 

 oneness of speech and relationship was 

 lost. Since then envy, jealousy, anger, 

 on one side, and conceit, pride, and 

 contempt on the other have widened 

 the breach, while LOVE has stood with 

 tearful eyes looking on at the sad and 

 unnatural estrangement.
