some time ago at which time Lawrence

and valuable character imaginable; the
boys take long "hikes" across the coun-
try, are given experience in camping
out and in woodcraft and through chan
nels that boys love, are given clean
recreation and trained in the attributes
of true manliness. Thus very urgent
