Adams] SHONTO: ROLE OF NAVAHO TRADER 29 



debt is to Dr. Edward H. Spicer for the wisdom, sympathy, and 

 permissiveness with which he has guided the Shonto study, to say 

 nothing of my general intellectual development, from beginning to 

 end. I am under obligation also to Dr. Harry T. Getty, Mrs. Clara 

 Lee Tanner, and Dr. William H. Kelly for their specific contributions 

 and suggestions. I am further indebted to all of the above and to 

 all of the other members of the anthropology faculty at the University 

 of Arizona for the pleasure and stimulation of their association in 

 what has certainly been the most enjoyable educational experience of 

 my life. 



Nettie, my wife, has not undertaken the arduous clerical work in- 

 volved in this report, nor has she presumed to correct my grammar 

 and spelling. Her contribution throughout every phase of tlie work 

 has been of a far higher order.
