PURPOSE OF MOVEMENT.

The boy scout movement which has
won favor so quickly in this country
is rapidly gaining in strength in Keo-
kuk. N. H. Pyle Is in charge Of the
scouts in this city and he has ar
ranged meeting for Saturday night
where the boys will enlist and an out
line OF series OF tactical movements
will be given by Capt. Frank lie Bron.
There are now more than thirty
youngsters enrolled here and the
number is expected to increase ma
terially this fall. It is planned to
have Capt. Le Bron explain and di-
rect the boys this fall in formations,
first aid to the injured and explain
the workings Of military practice.
Uniforms will be secured If pos
sible and the organization will be
completed along true military lines.
The boy scout movement pays no at
tention to religious differences and is
supported by all of the great churches.
Quite an impetus was given the move
ment recently when Cardinal Farley
approved the organization of boys in
ST. Patrick's cathedral in New York.
Among the many things taught in the
scout companies are woodcraft, track
ing, signaling, archery, canoeing,
campcraft, seamanship, first aid to
the injured and general military for
| nations and orders
The purpose of the movement has
been set forth as follows: "The aim
of the scouts is to help boys be physi-
cally capable. practically self-reliant,
mentally alert. and morally aarnest,'
