ATTRACTIVE TO THE BLIND
James E. West Tells of the
Great Spread of the Boy
Scout Movement.

The Boy Scout movement has spread to
the deaf-mute Institutions of the coun
try, while blind boys are taking up
the work and finding it an inspiration,
according to James f. West, chief scout
executive of the Boy Scouts of America
In an interview describing the spread
Of the movement Mr. West declares that
1t has become one of the vital institu-
tions of the nation. Preachers and re-
i1slous leaders have seized upon it as a
means Of carrying OH their own work, he
asserts, while the principles underlying it
seem to have made a universal appeal.
Blind boys have taken up the work. ;"
SAID Mr.. West 'and, through its inspira-
tion. have been led out into the open and
nave been stimulated to thought of the
| trees in the great outdoors and have been
made to feel that their life need not be
cramped through lack of sight In the
deaf-mute institutions scout troops
have been formed. Here, again, through
the channe. of scout activities these boys
have been made to feel that they are the
brothers of the scouts throughout the
country"
According to Mr.. West, Chinese boys
in New York have become scouts, Polish
emfgrant boys in Buffalo and boys of
other nationalities coming to this coun-
try have formed scout troops and by that
means have come in closer contact with
the ideals of the United States and d
better understanding of them.
The scout leader points out that not
on.y are scouts now to be found in every
state and territory of the Union, but as
we'll In Alaska, Porto Rico, Panama, Ha-
wall. Philippines and Cuba. In Japan,
Syria and Bolivia, he says, there are to
be found scout masters registered with
the Boy Scouts Of America.

The speaker said, in part: George
Washington dominated the formative age
of our country; Alb. aham Lincoln typi-
fed the age during which we were con-
solidated into firm Union, while Web
ster was the great figure in the inter-
mediate period when we were going
through the experimental. or legislative
stages of our national growth. By eX-
pounding the Constitution as d perma-
nent document. a contract from which
the states could not withdraw. he gave
expression to the national spirit and in
this sense it is not too much to say that
he was the real savior Of the Union. for
the union party won its fight on the prin-
cip.es first clearly enunciated by him."
