PUBLIC OPINION

To the Bridgeport Farmer
The local headquarters Of the
American Boy Scouts was notified
curing the past week that a number
of the founders and organizers of the
organization had resigned, and sever
ed their connection with the organiza-
ton, on account of the illegal method
adopted by the click of men in the
national board Of directors, who
sought financial aid for the move
ment by false representation.
We deem it for the best interest
of the organization of this city to
issue this statement: That those in
tereSted in the American Boy Scout
movement here in the city of Bridge
port, state of Connecticut, do con-
denim the unfair methods employed
by the men in the National Commit
tee, to further this or any other
cause, no matter how worthy it may
be. by raising funds under false rep
RESERVATIONS.
The American Boy Scout move.
ment in Bridgeport, Conn, has pro-
crossed along very gratifying lines
and is not affected in any way by
: the exercise of improper discretion on
, the part of anybody.
The report of the secretary shows
! that the organization in this city
which was launched in June last has
grown steadily in size and there are
now over ESQ boys names on the
roll. Under the auspices Of some of
the city's most distinguished citizens.
I; the movement has been heartily APP
proved of and many Of it's citizens
have been training the hoys under the
rules and laws of the American Boy
Scout constitution, and many others
have given their advice and help.
The movement here has not fol-
lowed in any particular methods rs
adopted in New York, with perhaps.
the exception. of the military aspect
of the organization, and that at no
time had any money been received in
Bridgeport, from the National or De-
partment Headquarters; all money
that has been used was by local SUBJ
| scription. e
/ The boys here are being taught
| military tactics. first aid to the in
Jureo, signaling, scoutcraft in general.
and they have been on short hikes
and taught how to light fire In the
open how to cook; and many things
necessary to make themselves valu-
able in any emergency.
The men that organized, the move
ment in this city are proud of the
fact that the boys are growing more
enthusiastic every day and that the
organization is progressing in q man
ner creditable to the city; and every
one connected with the work. We
are now at the point when il we had
a few small donations, from the pub
lie, the boys could be advanced in
the different degrees Of scoutship; the
expenses of the local movement is
very small compared to other move
ments; $1,000 per month will cover
all our expenses. This is a worthy
cause and the public should be in
terested in it, those interested in it
ask no pay of any kind; they are
working and giving up their time
and labor in it for the boys interest.
Those that would like to help the
work along by small donation can
do SO by mailing it to the treasurer
Of the local movement, Mr.. VIM. B.
Kelsey, STAFFORD Conn.,, where it will
be placed to good account.

People are doing things all around us
Every where industries are in full blast
This is an industrial age and not an age
of court courtiers. Education in its cor
rect sense means not only examining the
mind with dates and facts and Geometry
and Physics and Latin and German, but
Education today the fitting OF our
boys and girls for citizenship, and the
school that does this accomplishes its
purpose. The school that does not do
this falls short Of it's possibilities.
1t is good to see boys and girls doing
things. Not long since a young man, in
the prime OF life said something like this:
II attended the schools in my boyhood
days. In a sort of aimless way, I was
prepared for college according to the
prescribed studies; I attended college,
received a diploma, and returned home
When I arrived at home I had nothing but
my hands with which to work, and l could
do no more with them after I went to
college than I could before. When I was
graduated from college my hands were
unframed. They needed education for
efficiency. While my literary training
is a treasure to me and is invaluable, yet
1 wish I had received additional training
along lines Of industry"
Among the SHOOT exhibits were baskets
of rata made by the children, paper cut
ting, stenciled book satchels, baskets
made of shucks, baskets made Of pine
needles, sand tables illustrating Indian
life, ink drawings, maps in water colors,
Abbeville District maps, County maps,
State maps, picture frames Of ratla.
The Mill School had an exhibit that
was splendid. All the work was good,
Especially that Of the vanished thread,
was a credit. alike to the school and to
the scholars.
In order to keep fully up with the times
the teachers should be furnished with
tools for wood work. -
The modern schools are, as q rule, fur.
nished with such tools and the manual
training derived from such work is in
valuable.

ONE TRUE AFFlk.AA
Is THAT EXISTING BETWEEN A
GoV AND HIS COG.
Are Natural Companions, and That
Youngster Who Has Never Had a
Four-Footed chum Is to
BE Pitied.

II there was ever true affinity
upon this old earth, 1t exists between
a boy and a dog The boy who does
not just naturally love a dog is not
normal-provided he has ever owned
and associated with one. Nature has
left something out OF him which
should be there. In these days OF
tabloid domestic economy when fam
lilies live In pigeonholes and city peo-
pie almost forget what fields and
woods look like. we have tried to
eliminate the dog from his rightful
place. His place is that OF a faith
ful companion, vigilant guardian and
chum who never has a crouch, never
demands more than a bone and does
not care whether his master is
prince or a pauper We are trying to
raise children without dogs We are
trying to cultivate in our boys and
girls the virtues Of love. patience.
kndllness and humanity without Civ.
ing them dogs.
In the grist OF great city's news
the other day was the story Of boy
ten years old who had a dog This
animal had no pride OF pedigree. but
that didn't make tho least difference
The boy had sore bod companions
and he played true1t from school In
some way or other the boys parents
blamed the faithful dog. The boy was
forced to give his pet to neighbor

yearned for his dog. His little heart
was broken and he cried day and
night One day this boy tied a few
things into package, took five dol
lars from his mothers dresser and
went away. lie walked far back to
where his dog was. and two DAYS later
he was found playing with his four
footed friend
Then the officers and the parents
did a surprising thing. They locked
up this little boy and took away his
dog. And they wondered what they
were going to do with the boy. And
again the boy cried and was uncon.
solable. The parole-oficer said: THAT
boy is proposition. When he has
his dog he is a good boy, but he will
not be separated. | expect that the
dog will have to be returned to him"
The boy who will cling 80 tenacious
ly to his dog is not inherently bad.
What possible harm can come from
giving him back his chum? These
must be strange parents who will de-
liberately deprive child of ten
years OF his dearest treasure. The
writer of this has deep sympathy for
this bereaved youngster, for far back
in the haze of his vanished youth
there was a dog that he loved better
even than the school teacher. That
dog was ever at his heels and shared
in all his boyhood joys and sorrows. II
there is something that corresponds
to woodshed in heaven. we hope
that that faithful old tail is still wag-
ging Justify. Out of wearying re-
sponsibilities. grinding duties and the
turmoil Of manhood estate we take
time TO raise our voice against that
unkind conspiracy which is trying to
rob this ten-ysar-old boy Of his dog.
