The Boy Scouts are fast becoming
one of the interesting features of the
Chautauqua. Every morning at nine
o clock these. healthy young Americans
gather at their headquarters on the
lake front, where they receive instruc
tions and carry out their program for
that day. Scout Master Wallace is
finding the boys very responsive to the
Scout idea and under his able leader
ship great results are being accomplish
ed. One Of the first things a Scout
must learn is to obey. He must obey
his Scout Master, his assistants, and the
captains Of each patrol, and also be
obedient to his parents and other SUI
periors. He is taught to be thrifty,
to save his money and to be kind to
animals. He must obey his God and
serve his fellow man. Each boy knows
the Scout salute and with it he greets
his fellow Scouts when he meets them
for the first time each day, and al
ways when he greets his superior Of
ticers. Scouts are divided into three
classes: tenderfeet, first and second
class scouts, and an examination is re-
quired before they can pass from one
class into another. Tuesday the boys
took their first swimming lesson under
the capable and watchful care of Capt.
fursteneau. Yeterday they were Civ
