Excerpt from Adult Education Councils
Remote and dissimilar as these tribal powwows may seem from the regular meetings of the local adult education council (hurried executives with other things on their minds, luncheon of something and peas, speech on a topic seemingly irrelevant to the crucial issues of life), ancient powwow and modern council nonetheless do have certain common elements. Ceremonial as peets are not lacking in the latter; those engaged in adult educa tion like to come together with their fellows. It gives them a sense of belonging, a consciousness of the way in which their endeavors are shared by others. Their stature is increased and their activities given wider import in their own eyes by the mere exchange of experience, just by gathering together, becoming acquainted, and speaking with one another.
