THE Boy SCOUTS IN AMERICA.

The Scout idea has sprung up spon-
taneously all over America. In Can
adian cities the Boy Scouts are in the
thousands. In the United States,
towns.and cities a.e Icing swept by
the idea. Gangs of boys are to be
seen on every hand doing their best
at Scout-crar, "doing good turn
every day to someone" and getting
fun out of it. Prominent business
men and our leading educators are
behind the movement, and popular
organization tina, needs no equipment
is filling big gap in the recreational
education of the boy hood of America.
Great as has been the success of the
Boy Scouts in England, America with
its vast stretches of territory, woods
and streams, furnishes promise for
greater.
