follow the scout laws of being trust
worthy. loyal. helpful. friendly. courteous.

by all boys.
America. l am glad to send greetings
to all the schooiboys and urge each
in taking up his school work to keep
constantly in mind that il Is largely
within his own choice what he actually
accomplishes. Remember that all men
look back upon their school days as the
best OF their lives and upon their teach
ers as among their most helpful friends.
There are some boys who must bear
in mind there is a possibility of intern
perance even in study. \ well Informed
and trained mind may De useless without

boys, take up your work with joy and
enthusiasm. accept the leadership of yolir
teachers apply yourselves vigorously Ia
your lessons. but give some part of eaeh
day to recreation and some part OF each
week to outdoor activity.
