had taken solemn oath.
 Similarly. if a scout officer says to a scout. T trust you on your honor to do this" the scout is bound to carry out the order to the very bst of his ability. and to let nothing interfere with his doing so.
 If a scout were to break his honor by telling a lie, or by not carrying out an order exactly when trusted on his honor to do so, he may be directed to hand 1 over his scout badge. and never to wear it again. He may also be direct cd to cease to be a scout.
 ?. A scout is loyal to the president and to his officers, and to his parents. his country and his employers. He must stick to them through thick and thin against any one who is their enemy or who even talks badly of them. 2. A scouts duty is to be useful and to help others And he is to do his duty before everything else. even though he gives up his own pleasure. or comfort. or safety to do it. When in difficulty to know which of two things to do. he must ask himself, Which is my duty?r that is. Which is best for l i must be prepared at any time to save life or to help injured persons. And he |, must try his best to do 2 good turn to somebody every day.
 {. scout is a friend to all, and a brother to every other scout. no mat ter to what social class the other be- ' longs.
 Thus if scout meets another scout, even though a stranger to him, he must speak to him. and help him in any way that he can. either to carry out the duty he is then doing. or 1v giving 1 him food. or. as far as possible any thing that he may be in want of. A scout must never be a snob. X snob is one who looks down upon another because he is poorer. or who is poor and resents another because he is rich X scout accepts the other man as he finds him. and makes the best of him. Kim the boy scout, was called by the Hindoos Little friend )f all the world and that name is the name that every scout should earn for him. self.
 ,. A scout Is courteous. That is. he is polite to all-but especially to wom-
 
 Valids. cripplcs. etc And he must not take any reward for being helpful or courteous.
 (. X scout is a friend to animals He should save them as far as possible from pain. and should not kill any ami maj unnecessarily. even if it Is only fly. for it Is one of Gods creatures Killing an animal for food is allow able
 z. scout obeys orders of his par ents. patrol leader. or scout master without question.
 Even if he gets an order he does not like he must do as soldiers and sailors do; he must carry it out all the same because it is his duty; and after he has done ft he can come and state any reasons against it But he must carry out the order at once. This is dis cipline.
 s. A Scout smiles and looks plans ant under all circumstances. When hc gets an order he should obey it cheerily and readily. not in a slow. | hang -dog sort of way.
 Scouts never grumbIe at hardships. 1 nor whine at each other. nor swear ! when put out.
 When you just miss a train. or some one treads on your favorite | corn-not that scout ought to have | such things as corns-Or under any annoying circumstances, you should | force yourself to smile at once, and | then whistle a tune, and you will be i all right.
 scout goes about with a smile on. It cheers him and cheers other | people. especially in time of danger. | for he keeps it up then all the same
 The punishment for swearing or | using bad language is for each of- | fence a mug of cold water to be | poured down the offenders sleeve by the other scouts. It was the pun ishment invented bv the old British scout. Captain John Smith, three hundred years ago.
 g. A Scout is thrifty. that is. he saves every penny he can. and puts it into the bank. so that he may have money to keep himself when out of work. and thus not make himself a burden to others: or that he may | have money to give away to others when they need it.
 Scout Law
 Scouts. all the world over. have unwritten laws which bind them just as much as if they had been printed in black and white
 They come down to us from all times.
 The Japanese have their Bushido. or laws of the old Samurai war riors. just as we have chivalry or rules of the knights of the Middle Ages. The Red Indians in America have their laws of honor: the Zulus, the natives of India, the European natiOns-all have their ancient codes
 The following are the rules which apply to Boy Scouts. and which you swear to obey when you take your oath as a Scout. so if is as well that
