That the local Boy Scout organization
Is regarded as model institution Of that
kind by the national officers and other
branches throughout the country and

mental in placing the French Boy Scout
organization on foundation similar. ii
not identical, with the American system,

Mr.. Livingstone spoke in terms of the
highest praise Of the efficient work per-
formed by the Boy Scouts on March !
and I in connection with the suffrage
pageant and the inauguration parade.
He said nothing has ever been done to
impress the public more favorably with
the work done by the organization in
building ND the character of the boys.
and that a better opportunity could not
have been selected to demonstrate to the
public the practical results of the lessons
taught the boys. Mr.. Livingstone said
that as a result of the favorable impress
sion which the work of the Boy Scouts
created all over the United States about
$4,000 voluntary contributions came into
headquarters in New York, practically
wiping out the deficit which stared them
in the face at the beginning Of the
year.

movement Is now being taken seriously
by business men in this section, who rec
ognize the great benefit which the grow
