LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Boy Scout Movement.

MIR Editor: Without entering into
details in regard To what has already
been said in the local papers BY Mr..
Boardman, MIR. Clarke and others. 1
would like to say that such men as DR..
william Evans Darby. secretary of the
London Peace society and editor OF
The Herald of Peace Alfred H. Love,
president of the Universal Peace union
and editor of The Peace-Maker. George
r. Kirkpatrick author OF War What
For? and others like them, view the
Boy Scout movement with alarm: Dr.
Darby. in The Herald of Peace, says:
THE pretense that they are nOh-
military is nonsense; besides, is it not
also a fact that the Boy Scouts have
responded to the Oyertures of the war
Office and are now q part of the terri
torial organization?
Mr.. Love. in The Psacemaker, says:
Richard Bartholdt writes us urging
our efforts to oppose this Boy Scout
craze that has taken hold even of
some churches, for it has in it the ele-
ments that are opposed to peace. How
much better to lead the spirit of young
manhood into the study and exercise
of all those pacific influences that are
in the line of progressive civilization,
true religion and peace"
Mr.. kirkpatrick is more outspoken
and emphatic in his denunciation of
the movement. He says: ''Tha Boy
Scout movement is an organized,
craftily subsidized effort for creating
the kill-lust in boys, the love of arms,
the desire for the military life, and
the brainlessly automatic obedience of
soldiers. The pretense is that the boys
are to be physically developed. While
the boys are to be physically developed
they are to have their fntellects ossi-
fled and their sociability suffocated.
The boys are to have their wills killed
by thousand drills in a slaves crown
ing virtue. obedience"
When We see that men of more than
ordinary intelligence, who have made
a life study of the subject of peace.
look upon the movement as dangerous,
it may be we'll for us to investigate.

groups, with tables and diagrams ex-
hibited upon a line in front of the
audience. A marked decline was
shown for the period in all cases,
with only a few instances of local in
crease in some decades. The speaker
quoted a variety of causes for the
decline, of which race suicide was not
given chief prominence. From the
facts it was deduced that the decline
was greatest where immigration most
settled smaller in the South than in
the North, less in the more perma
nent rural settlements of Americans
than in urban communities where the
population was all the time seethingly
changing. Another interesting conclu.
sion was that while alien races had
a high birthrate at arrival in the
country, they did not take long in
entering the lists as rivals of the old
stock in declining reproduction. Ne.
groes in cities were less fertile than
" ulIeSy NOlill al y W a pOpuldl ullo-
conception. 1t was shown that the
black population of some cities would
show a large decrease were it not for
the fresh arrivals from outside.
DR.. Clark reminded the audience
that low birthrate was an old story
Il was one of the manifestations char
acterizing the decline of ancient Rome
where special privileges. were bestow-
&c upon families of three or more chill
dren. Among modern instances he re-
ferred to France. He voiced a theory
held by some investigators that the
present wave of infertility might
pass, and new era arrive in which
civilized society should again multiply
on the face of the earth.
