"A new system of street lighting
has been installed in Edgerton and was
put in operation Friday night for the
first time The system consists Of three
new arc lights and about sixty smaller
lights, known as the Nadia lamps,
which are scattered through the resi-
dence district. The company has been
to considerable expense in rebuilding
the circuits and believes it can give a
much more satisfactory service.
The unusual rainfall that this part
of Wisconsin, and in fact the whole
middle west, has experienced during
the past few weeks recalls that thirty
years ago there was similar period OF
rainy weather, which began at almost
the same time Of the year and was
similar in many respects. The sum-
mer of 1881 was excessively hot, the
pastures in July being burned brown
and cattle suffered terribly from the
heat and lack Of pasturage. Late in
September, however, superabund-
ance of rain came, continuing into Oc-
tober, and the pastures were as green
as in spring time.

Let us consider how It was possi-
BILE to gather over half a million
scouts. working hard. in the United
States. and the number fast increasing.
The history of the world may be di
vided into two periods-organic or
productive. and critical or nom produlc-s
tive. An example of the former may
be seen during the dark ages, because
the roots of what appeared to be
dead world were being richly fortified
to give strength to the great crea lions
of the renaissance A critical period
may well be shown in the latter days
of the Roman empire, when magma
ton was dwarfed morality blunted, and
the vices of the east were predominant

said, THE bathhouse killed Rome
1t Was a Dead Civilization.
There are many evidences OF crit

Americans have lost much of the vir-
ility of their backFoods ancestors. The
increasing number of country houses,
for instance. is a sure sign of an arti-
fetal age. And the desire to get back
to nature is one of the high hopes of
the scout movement. The far-seeing

Scouting is a vital force which
develops the best there is in a lad
by natural means.
Scouting is a training school for
character and citizenship.
Scouting is founded on the idea
of brotherhood of man to man. A
good scout is not snob.
What Scouting Is Not.
Scouting is not an impractical
vision of a stiff-necked reformer.
Scouting is not military order,
from which to recruit soldiers 1t
teaches patriotism, not warfare.
Scouting is not primarily relig-
ious. although troops may elect a
chaplain il they wish
Scouting is not for picked
group of well-to-do boys but in
cludes anybody willing to join the
without regard to race, rank, creed
or color,
Scouting is not q scheme for over
training few athletes to perform
before their degenerate fellows. 1t
encourages physical strength for
all It's watchword is Much good
for many
Scouting is not society to idol
ize pasilists because it places man
hood above mere physical strength
or. cleverness.
Scouting is not intended to en-
courage a law breaking gang. but
directs action of the gang into
paths of usefulness and value to
secietN.
