contest held at the Tucumcari High
school to decide on a representative
from the school to the State OratOrical
association meeting at Albuquerque, No

perfect. It is said that two sets Of
Judges viii decide, one on the character
of the paper submitted, the other on

completed whereby the orchestra frcm
he Tucumcari High school can be sent
to the meeting of the State Educational
association next month at Albuquerque.
The school orchestra, which consists OF
Il pieces, attracted q great deal of at
tentlOn at the meeting last year and
amand has arisen for its presence at
the meeting this fall. It is estimated
that more than 80 additional teachers
and guests viii attend the meeting on
account of the orchestra being present,
and it is hoped through this reason to
raise part Of the funds with which to
defray the expense of the trip. A part
of this fund necessary h=s Slready been
raised through various entertainments
at the High school.
About ESQ season tickets were sold
in the campaign of the schools last week
to the High school entertainment course
at the Evans opera house this winter
Over 200 of these were for adults, it is
said, the sales bringing in a large part
of the expense of the course for the sea

5000 on on the entire course OF six num-
bers, which money is to 20 towards an
enlargement of the school libraries. The

BOY SCOUTS AND
ENGLISH COUSINS
American Boys show Greater Re
sOurcefuiness, Self-Reliance
and Initiative.


and Initiative.
New York. n. Y, oct. ga strik-
ing contrast between the Boy Scouts
Of America and the British Boy Scouts
is presented by Samuel A. Moffat ma
tionaI field Scout commissioner. who
has Just returned from a trip to Eng
land. The qualities OF resourceful-
ness, seIf-reIiance and initiative. ne
points out, are possessed in a high de-
gree by the American boy, whereas IN
the English boy those qualities are
lacking. The English boy possesses
courtesy and obedience, he says, to a
much greater degree and in addition
is much more versatile In wood
craft and handicraft than are the
American boys
Moffat spent several weeks making
a thorough study of the scout move
ment in England He visited the
camps. attended troop meetings, spent
some days at the national headQuar-
tiers in London and got a thorough in
sight in the workings OF the British
Scout movement
THE American boy he writes, pre-
sentS a striking contrast TO his Eng
lish cousin Here our boys, for the
most part, are of the sangutne type.
They are self-assertive, are possessed
of initiative, are resOurceful and quite
lf-reliant. 1t is evident then that
the emphasis OF our WOrk need not De
in developing these traits In fact, L
am not so sure but what the task of
our Scout masters has been to check
this evidence Of self assurance in or
der to give them the benefit of the
experience and thought of others.
There is great need to develop in our
boys habits of courtesy, respect to
their elders and a sense of their place
in life.
The English boy is more Of the
sober minded type. He needs to be
drawn out of his shell and developed.
He is reserved, self-centered and rath-
er self-abasive in his attitude toward
life. He is quick to respond to the
bidding of a superior, but it is me-
chanicaI service that he gives Lack
ing in resOurcefulness, he only car
rles out the order TO the letter. If
conditions are not as he expected the
English boy will go back and report
his inability to accomplish the task.
The American boy, when given an
order Will find ways and means OF
executing 1t even though conditions
are not as he expected There is prac-
tically no need OF emphasizing the
Scout laws OF courtesy, obedience and
loyalty. AS before stated, this is the
English boys instructive attitude to-
ward others.
