HOW ENGLAND is TRAINING HER
YOUTH FOR WAR.
Scheme lnaugurated BY Lieut.. Gen.
Baden-Powell Which Appeals to
Old Instinct Of Boyhood and
Develops the Physique.

While the American youth has had
many forms Of summer outings and
holiday amusements provided for him
through the medium Of military and
naval schools. camp life. walking
tours, fishing and hunting trips, etc,
his English cousin has noiF gone him
one better and has since last year en-
joyed hugely a new recreation, known
as scouting as a sport The head
and front Of this new instructive
pastime is that famous Englishman,
Lieut. Gen. Sir X. S. S. Baden-Powell
who SO distinguished himself in the
South African war.
At some period during our juvenile
years every man has played Indian,
and has cherished the hope OF lead
ing the life Of hunter or baokwoods-
man. Gen. BaGen-Powell has realized
this wish Of every boys heart and be-

Boys has gone personally and prac-
tically into the work and has had his
classes Of boys in the field greedily
learning to be like real scouts" He
recognizes that II is useless for a boy
to specialize on military scouting until

an emergency, from mending his own
boots to building a bridge.
The camp OF Gen. Powell's boy
Scouts was on an island nearly two
miles long BY one mile wide. partly
thickly wooded. and with two lakes IN
the center Of the island The camp
was composed Of officers and mess

trol-a group Of five boys-with a
senior in each as patrol leader" and
this organization seemed to be the
secret Of success. Each patrol leader
was given full responsibility for the
behavior or his patrol at all times, in
camp and in the field and the patrol
was the unit for work or play. and
each patrol had fits separate spot. Re
sponsibility, discipline and competitive
rivalry were thus at once established
and good standard Of development
was insured throughout the troop.
The following were the subjects Of
the course Of instruction for the week:
