IRISH BOY SCOUTS
Trained to Work for independence ot
Ireland.


Dublin.-Nothing testif1es so strong
ly to the power Of the Boy Scout
movement as the way various parties
seek to lay hold of branches of it as
part of their own organizations. Thus,
while there are Baden-Powell scouts
in Ireland, there is also a new devel-
opment - the Irish National Boy
Scouts.''
An official announcement proclaims
that "this organization has come into
being for the purpose of training Irish
boys to work for the independence Of
Ireland and to combat the Anglicizing
influence of the Baden-Powell scouts
in this country. Our program includes
drill, physical culture, scouting, camp
ing out, first aid. Irish history and
Irish language. Hurting, cycling and
other healthy amusements are en-
couraged."
The Wolf Tone clubs are backing
the movement, and their organ, Irish
Freedom, announces the opening Of
headquarters with a general secretary
In this city. The oath to be taken by
these Irish National Scouts runs: II
promise to work for the independence
of Ireland. never to join England's 8
armed forces and to obey my superior
officers"
Should this movement advance much
we may have Irish agitation indefinite
ly prolonged. even after Home Rule
Parliament is opened here, for there
is an active, though not apparently
numerous, section simmering with hos
tility to the Home Rule outlined in the
forecasts SO far as acceptable to the
party led by John Redmond

TO AWAKEN INTEREST
IN GAELIC MOVEMENT
Donal O'Connor Visiting America
In the Interest of the Irish
Language Cause.
Organizing Feiseanna to Perpetu
ate Early Gaelic Traditions
and Customs.
The League is Revlyillg Old Folk
Songs and Dances as &ell as
the Old Language.

Donal O'Connor who recently ar
rived in America to visit the principal
cities of the United States in the in
terest of the Gaelic League is at pres
ent working in eastern cities organ
izing educational entertainments
which in Ireland are known as feise-
anna. The feis differs from the AM
erican Chautauqua in that the people
take part and compete for prizes in
various branches of educational work.
These feiseanna have been received
by the Gaelic League as means of
perpetuating the Irish language, song,
dance and traditions and in proof of
their success it is only necessary to
compare the strength of the Gaelic
movement today with what it was fif-
teen years ago.
What have feiseanna done for Ire
land? Why they have altered every
phase of Irish life. English meaning
less music hall songs have been driv-
en- out of the homes. not by force, not
by the organized effort of fanatics
but by clean and healthy example
People who were apathetic towards
the work of the Gaelic League became
.enthused when they heard their chill
dren singing the old folk songs. The
q ero r oh SO hi
Irish industries have been given a new
lease of life.
The people have thoroughly awak-
ened. Another good fight still goes on,
never more strenuously than at pres
ent. Anglicization is being combated
with unflinching determination. "Se-
oininism" Is beating hasty retreat
before an unceasing propaganda. AL
ready in the Irish-speaking districts
q bilingual program of education, with
Irish as the second language, is in
operation in the national schools, and
in the other districts Irish is being
taught fairly successfully as an extra
subject. Gaelic colleges have been es-
tablished in many parts Of the coun-
try to enable teachers to study the
language and thousands of ardent stu
dents flock to them every year.
Ireland at the present time is under
going complete transformation. Her
national life is assuming it's proper
place. A century ago she began to
adopt English as spoken tongue.
English has spelled her ruin. 1t left
her without ambition, it left her with
out her soul. She is now going back
to the old tongue and even though the
fight has only commenced, she has al
ready shown resolute determination
to win.
Eighteen years ago the Gaelic
League came into existence. Since
then Irish has been introduced into
over 5000 schools and Irish has been
made a compulsory subject for en-
Even Trinity College has been swept
into the vortex.
"Feiseanna" 1t was that first con-
vfnced and aroused the people. What
they saw at these educational enter
tainments dispelled a false shame of
things Irish. At Feiseanna they heard
the old folk songs, music and stories,
heard their Irish history and witness
ed the old dances. AS the poet said:
Oh! the nights Of the Kerry dances,
Oh! the ring of the pipers' tune;
Oh! for one Of those hours of glad
ness,
Gone alas! like our youth, too soon.
