I came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Greek and Grass  Greek. Others came too, and we made these little grey houses of logs that you see, and they are  square, It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square.You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the respectful circle of the nation, and so long as the circle was unbroken, the people were getting rich. The flowering tree was the living center of the circle, and the circle of the four quarters nursed it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave wa  rmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and strong wind gave strength and continuous power. This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our brief. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. Birds make their nests in circle, for theirs are the same as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our places were like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation's circle, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to nurse our children. But the Wasichus (Indian word for "white people") have put us in these square boxes. Our power is gone and we are dying, for the power is not in us any more. You can look at our boys and see how it is with us. Where we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should, boys were men at twelve or thirteen years of age. But now it takes them very much longer to be bull - grown. |

| Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically nonexistent.It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside to take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus. This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men,who say that since women have claimed equality,they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and th  at those who go out to work should take their turns in the rat race like anyone else.But women have never claimed to be physically strong as men.Even if it is not agreed,however,the fact remains that courtesy(礼节) should be shown to the old and the sick.Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently(冷漠地) reading the paper or a book,saying to ourselves,"First come,first served" while a greyhaired woman,a mother with a young child or a cripple(残障者) stands?Yet this is all too often seen. Older people,tired and impatient from a day's work,are not always considerate either - far from it. Many arguments break out as the older people push and squeeze(挤)each other to get on buses.One cannot approve this,of course,but one does feel there is just a little more excuse. It seems urgent,not only that communications in transport should be improved,but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite.All over cities,it seems that people are too tired and too rushed t  o be polite.Shop assistants won't bother to assist；taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously around corners；bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have time to get on or off the bus,and so on.It seems to us that it is up to the young to do their small part to stop such lowering of moral standards.
