DAN BEARD TELLS
. HOW TO TREAT BOYS
National Scout Commissioner
Says Masters Should Stir
Them by Patriotism.

Some excellent advice to scout mas
ters Is given by Dan Beard, nationa
scout commissioner. writing In Scouting
official publication of the Boy, Scouts -oi
America. Comparing the scouts of the
early days of the country and Boy
Scouts of the present day, he says:
After thirty odd years Of studying
boys, l. have found-'that an appeai@to
their patriotism always meets with a
hearty response. Consequently. every
thing that you do tina! tends to In
crease the boys love of his country, oil
his home, his town. village, or city, will
help TO give you a better hold on the
esteem and friendship Of the scouts.
i.It is for this reason that i always
emphasize the fact that the scout move
ment originated here in America and
was suggested and evolved from the
lives of our own historic scouts of the
Boone, Benton, Crockett. George Roger
Clark, Lincoln. and Washington type.
A wonderful group of men, moral, ath-
letic, forceful, Independent. and daring
almost beyond belief, / might say, a
prenominal lot of men, were the pro-
duct of our borderfand a-s
These men wore the only typical
American dress ever worn in this coun-
try. The fringed ;buckskin wamus,
cocnskin cap, the fringed leggins and
moccassns. the broad belt around their
waist. their bullet pouch engraved cow s
horn powder flask, made as picturesque
a costume as ever fired the imagination
of boy.
When you have men dressed in such
facinating clothes and know that they
led the most thrilling and adventurous
lives, that they had an exalted sense of
honor, were most free and generous in
their hospitality and that their morals
were worthy of imitation by our best
citizens, you have a set of heroes which
appeal irresistabiy to a boys love of
adventure and love of action, in truth
you have a set of heroes superior to
any yet discovered or invented
"It Is evident that none loves the ugly,
the sqIIalid. and the offensive, hence II
is necessary that our boys should see
and realize the beauties of our country
in order to love it. This gives you a
good opportunity to work for civic
and enlist the scouts in the
labor of making the town. village, and
city beautiful. a work which we have
triotism, for the more beautiful our
country is, the easier il is to inspire
in the hearts of our scouts a love for
their native land.
Scout masters and speakers on the
scout movement should read the lives
Of the American pioneers and all that
part of American history connected
with pioneer life, so that they can tell
the scouts about those stirring times
and they must not forget that the buck
skin men were morally head and shoul-
ders above the settlers who followed
their tracks: that most, IL not all Of
ttem. were religious men; all whose
live we have been able to trace with any
certainty were religious men,. 49,.
Men of action are almost without
exception religious: agnostics- are-men
OF the desk and not of. the trail"

time for opening the camp has not yet
been determined. The camp is to be In
charge Of Scoutmaster Cossins, and the
boys are delighted that they are to have
a camp OF their own. We shall go to

have that and some smaller boats to
practice in for sea scouting during the
outing. The camp will be open about
two weeks.
1t is pleasant. Of course. to go to the
big summer camp OF the District Coun-

profit in their little camp on the Poto-
mac near Marshall Hall.
