when asked for q statement In
regard to the value Of scouting ~
Tar a. II effects the boys of the city.
Mr.. Dale had the following to say:
what Scouts Stand For.
Scouting stands for love of nature
ana outdoor life and creates CO.
operation, efficiency. citizenship and
brotherhood. It aims to train not
only the hand Of the boy. but his
head and heart ~ we'll. A scout ID
Trustworthy. loyal, courageous, clean.

impresses him with the idea that in
only rood work will he And true and
lasting happiness The boy OF today
II the citizen OF tomorrow. and the
kind OF citizen he will be depends
20 q great extent on what kind OF q
boy he has been, and this again
depends on what kind of boyhood he
has had In Scout Craft the boy
deveiopes physically. mentally the
morally by the support Of valuable
scout masters who know and under
Stand tho boy and his needs.
Mr.. Dale has travelled in good
many countries studying scouting ~
well AZ In different parts OF this co1n-
Try, and has found q tremendous in
terest in scouting, especially among
business men who realize the import
ance OF giving the youngsters the
best possible training. In some cities
the movement has progressed 30 far
and has proven It's success so well
that business men who employ boys
will give preference to the scouts
because they are more courteous and
show q greater willingness to work as
we'll al q greater efficiency.
No movement has had such q ire
mendous growth "a has the scout
movement. Three years ago II was
hardly known. today II is an organi-
sation known to nearly every country.
In the United States there are more
than 100000 Boy Scouts. and within
another year prospects are that there
will be more than q half million.
Scouts have already done wonderful
public service In q good many places.
For instance, ut the Inauguration at

ing to keep order as we'll - render
ing first aid, and all through the
country they did wonderful work in
rendering relief to the food suf-
ferers. One troupe in Pennsylvania,
for instance, sent all the money they
had saved up for a summer camp,
more than 5000, to Iowa, and others
helped greatly in collecting clothing
and food supplies in Michigan. Last
year the boy scouts reported more
than 200 fires and in some cases
put them out before the regulars
arrived. thereby saving thousands OF
dollars worth OF property.
Nationwide Move.
A nationwide movement at the
present time has helped the scouts
in cleanihg-up campaigns as well as
in preventing flies. the hook worm
disease. and in lighting forest biights,
and doing many other things of value
to the community.
Every boy has a great deal of
energy. and IL II is not spent for
something good II may be spent for
something bad. The scouts aim to
direct. no that 1t may be of, value to
the boy himself as we'll as to the
community in which he lives
This surely In a noble idea and
ought TO have the heartiest co-opera-
ton and sympathy OF every patriotic
citizen.
Oath Scouts Take.
Before a boy becomes a scout he
must take oath that: On my honor I
will do my best.
L. To do my duty to God and my
country and to obey the scout Law.
2. To help other people at all times.
3. To keep myself physically strong.
mentally awake and morally straight.
These are the twelve points of the
scout law:
l. A scout II trustworthy.
2. A scout is loyal.
8. A scout liz helpful
T., A scout lis friendly
S. A scout IL courteous
&. A scout is kind.
z. A scout is ohedient.
